I do not claim to be an expert on him, but everything I know about this guy makes him seem like he is just another wacko trying to use religon to make a buck.
Didnt he say God would deal with all gays in America in 1995, or something. Maybe I got the wrong guy but isn't this the guy that has had a bunch of wacky prophecies that have not come true?
Edit: yep thats guy I was thinking of http://www.sherrytalkradio.com/hinn/index.htm
There are wackos out there and there are crooks, but my point was that just because someone is culturally very different does not mean he's either of those. Evangelists--whether on tv or not--are not in it to make a buck. There have been a few of those crooks, yes, but that doesn't mean that they're all crooks or that they're in it to try to get rich (there are MUCH easier ways to get rich, anyway).
Whatever your profession is, there are some people who've had that profession and have also been crooks or some other sort of lousy person. That doesn't mean that YOU are a crook. It's easy to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Revivalist culture does seem very odd to most people, but judging people based on cultural differences--long tradition though it has--tends to leave one wanting. Saying that someone is a crook because they happen to preach on TV and come from a very different culture is just plain silly. I'm not saying that what anyone here meant, of course.
As to the issue of prophesy, well, we'd need a whole forum to devote to that subject, lol.
