Top ministry income and assets

Not denying it happened, but it can be blown way out of proportion. What's ended is ended, and I'm assuming that the gossip papers would have a heyday if King David and Bathsheba were still alive.

Well, when one minister is so outrageous, claiming to have Jesus Christ in person at his events (with video proof that has never been seen), a crazy theology, falsified birthplace and bloodline, been busted by the press lying, cheating and holding hands with another female "minister", who divorced her husband and included a "church" in the divorce settlement, lives in the Trump Towers, has a TV show and gives life coaching advice to hollywood stars....people are gonna talk. This isn't even like one of them is holy and ordained by God. This is like two evil people, that the world can see as evil, but the blind, stupid, church cannot. This is like them being so out in the open with their sin, and the world laughing at them. The church can't do anything because...these people do not answer to anyone. We can't remove them from an office, because they own theirs. They can teach what they want and the publishers (pimps) will sell the whores goods, because they make more money selling that crap than selling all anyone really needs...the WORD OF GOD. This is not about gossip or judgement. They have launched it out there into the open, by traveling on donated dollars, lodging on donated dollars, living in luxury on donated dollars, all without accountability. I say TAX THE TV MINISTERS, TAX THE CHURCH! Make the pastors do it the BIBLICAL WAY....WORK! Paul worked when he wasn't in the pokey. Jesus worked. Work will not hurt anyone. We all have copies of the bible. Preservation is no longer a duty of a tribe. We have the Holy Spirit. Interpretation is no longer the duty of a tribe. The problem with the church is that we are paying people to do, what we ourselves should be sacrificing to do, and we are all getting lazy....like the US Government....throwing money at things. Here is a thought. How about we pass a law that allows ministers to live tax free, "to do the lords work", and cap their pay at the median income of the state of residence. When Benny Hinn was asked on camera why he drove such an expensive car, his EXACT REPLY was this, "What? Do you want me to drive a Honda?!" What a complete snot. He has taken the Lord God's name in vein, misrepresenting the Gospel, Salvation, The Atonement, etc. He is a false prophet who cares about mammon! He is demonic. Calling the devil out is not gossip. Grace is reserved for a repentant person. This guy makes death threats on ministries that expose him. This guy uses attorneys to bully people. This guy does not reveal what he does with his money. This guy is EVIL.

I am seeding the ground. One of life long friends pastors a church in OK, and was interviewed by USA Today about church, music, production, etc. He is in Germany now, but we are to talk about it when he returns.

So you don't agree with his theology, but bad press reviews aside, where are you getting your information on false identity, etc.? And please explain what you mean by falsified bloodline? Sounds like something to do with racehorses, not people.

His own words. In his book, Good Morning, Holy Spirit, Hinn lied about who his dad was, what his dad was, etc. He lied about his father was the “mayor” of Jaffa, Israel. On TBN, his dad was said to be a general. In his latest autobiography, Hinn changed it a bit, saying hiss father was a "liaison between the community and the Israeli government.” In actuality, he was just a normal guy. When the family moved to Canada, his dad sold insurance. Far cry from the mayor and general. Why would a man of God need to lie about his dad? If he cannot tell the truth about his family, which is documented, he surely cannot handle other documented Truth.

The PFO has been busting Hinn's marbles with the Truth, and Hinn has retaliated through attorneys. Hinn has had to change his manipulations to accommodate the PFO.

Brent,
While Paul was a tentmaker, he did instruct us to financially support those who labor in the Word including pastors. Financially supporting pastors is not the problem, financially supporting false teachers is. In fact we are not to have anything to do with false teachers.
