ìI just, sometimes I wonder if the whole study of theology
isn't a waste of time.î 12Perhaps, Benny Hinnís Catholic mindset is what gave him the inspiration for the
symbol he has adopted for his ministry. You can find this symbol on his on
ministry newsletters, television shows, web site, adorning crusades, as well as
emblazoned on his clothing. This emblem appears to be a dove and the world.
Upon closer examination, the wings along with the globe are reminiscent of the
universal symbol for the goddess and the sun god, the crescent and the sun
(middle). The shape of the wings also closely resembles the stand for the
Eucharist in a Catholic monstrance (right) and the world is similar to the Catholic
magic wafer complete with the Wheel of the Year. Some of those have seen this
symbol say that they see the wings as a set of evil looking eyes and the body of
the dove as a nose.
On a TBN ìBehind the
Scenesî program Paul Crouch
was also sporting the symbol
of the sun god and goddess,
the horns of the Apis bull as
depicted on the right. 13There he was, sitting back in his chair, Bible in hand and donned in one of his
many custom made shirts. For all the TBN audience to see, his shirt was
emblazoned with numerous depictions of this Egyptian symbol for the sun god
and the goddess Isis. Also on this shirt were drawings of what appeared to be a
bust of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of lust.
