Benny Hinn
Benny Hinn is a preacher from the US. A preacher who travels to many countries and cities around the world to preach to millions, and heal too. I’ve never read or found out much about Benny Hinn… aside from seeing his TV show on at 5am on TV. But last night I found out that he’d recently been up in Brisbane. And there was an article on smh about the event up there, and one person’s [very unfair] view on the evening.
Certainly on my blog, I am going to choose to not have an opinion on Benny Hinn and that article. Doesn’t stop it being a very interesting read though.
I do want to have an opinion about it, but in my mind, those sorts of discussions ought to be had between me and close, wise Christian friends… and are definitely not something that I, as a Christian, should share in a public forum.
Just wanted to make it clear that I wasn’t chickening out on having an opinion about it. :)

Not to be a pedant or anything, but isn’t saying the article is unfair having an opinion?

perhaps. but that’s more having an opinion on the author, and being a bit frustrated that smh put it up as a normal news article rather than an opinion piece (which is definitely what it is).

Every article ever published will hold some bias or opinion somewhere. An “Opinion” piece in the newspaper will be the views maintained by the newspaper itself.
This piece obviously holds bias in some form (because it exists) and is topped and tailed with the name of the person who wrote it.
Whether or not it belongs in the newspaper is debatable.

Interesting read none the less…
Personally I’d like to chat to some of these guys to really understand what they are on about. Some are good, others are not so good…
