How many Christians would do it?, if Benny told them.  |
Very few if any. BTW, many people in our country say they're Christians becuae that is what they were raised being but only a fraction of those are active so to speak. |

It is really in bad taste most of the time but I will not chritisise it because I do not want to appear to be critising your religion, but plenty of Christians put it down as well |

No real Christians would. Such a proclimation is not backed up by anything in the Bible and so REAL Christians would see it as false.
Now if some Mullah said it, there would be exploding Muslims right and left.

Regarding what has been said about Billy Graham. I've heard this one about his kids going to private schools in various countries and another one about him being a part of the Illuminati and even one about him being a Satanist who practiced mind control techniques. I guess theoretically anything is possible, since no man is without sin and all can be tempted. But I have serious doubts that so many Bible believing Christians would support him if he was such an evil person. Likewise, I also know that he did a LOT of great work bringing the gospel message to people the world over; and the antichrists will stop at nothing to dissuade the masses from following someone who has the truth, even to the point of spreading dissention and mistrust within the Church family. So, unless I see actual evidence of these claims I'll continue to seriously doubt the validity of any of them.

You're not missing anything other than a good laugh from time to time, but the most I can take is about 5 minutes |

Good answer Thornbird, Jim Jones is the perfect example of the blind leading the blind. In this country Benny Hinn has become a bit of a cult, go to any Christian book shop, and all you will find are books mostly by Benny Hinn, and other tv evangalists. Tried the other week to buy some Palsm CDs, dont exist anymore, unless you want to hear Bennys interpretation of them. When I do get a chance to speak to some of these "born agains"or maybe I should say "dead agains". They are so full on, that thier enthusiasim is blinding them to the true teachings of Jesus. Even if your directly quoting the Bible, they wont listen. Worst still , the dead agains now have thier own special bible, I always thought there was only one bible and one teaching. |

People want something to believe in. A lot more people buy into this crap that you think. If Benny Hinn was to get up on stage and say god commands everyone to kill themselves, I think there would be a lot of people that would do it. By a lot I mean maybe 200 nation wide.
