The Episcopal Church in America is on the verge of a major schism over the
ordination on an openly homosexual priest.
ìOpenly gay bishop-elect Gene Robinson says the furor over
his consecration is good because Episcopalians are,
ëreaching for their Bibles.í Robinson says embracing gays
and lesbians answers the question, ëWhat would Jesus do?í
And he compares it to the early church's embrace of
Gentiles. But the Rev. Kendall Harmon of the American
Anglican Council - a group of Episcopalian conservatives -
says that isn't the Gospel of salvation and transformation
that Jesus preached. He says Robinson is preaching a
Gospel of, ësuperficial affirmation, which doesn't provide
meaningful change in people's lives.íî 32
There was also the claim of an earthquake striking the East Coast.
ìThe Spirit of God tells me, An earthquake will hit the East
Coast of America and destroy much in the 90's. Not one
place will be safe from earthquakes in the 90's. These who
have not known earthquakes will know it. People I feel the
Spirit all over meÖî 33
As of the closing weeks of 2003, I have not heard of one report of a
devastating earthquake hitting the East Coast.
According to the Bible, Benny Hinn is a false prophet!
ìThey have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD
saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made
others to hope that they would confirm the word. Have ye not
seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination,
whereas ye say, The LORD saith it; albeit I have not spoken?
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have spoken
vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith
the Lord GOD.î Ezekiel 13:6-8 (emphasis mine)
Although he tries to incorporate the requirements of the Law of Moses into the
Church by the use of Old Testament scripture, itís a good thing for Pastor Benny
Hinn that Christians are not under the Law.
