The only difference between Benny Hinn and Bugs Bunny is, Bugs Bunny doesn't ask people for all their money. One is pretending to be a preacher that can heal, the other is pretending to be a rabbit that can talk.

If I had seen your post first, I would have just ditto'd this. Ridiculously lavish lifestyles aren't necessitated by the number of "followers" someone has. At best, it's a complete lack of responsible and ethical handling of ministry finances.
I couldn't agree more with your points.

It's really impossible to know all the reasons, unless the concerned parties personally make them public.
Divorce is always painful for someone--there's nothing to celebrate.

Re: News Flash*** Benny Hinn and Wife Divorcing***
I never said I agreed with BH theology - I certainly have made that clear to many over the 33 years I have known him. But then again I don't agree with all I have preached in the past 35 years either!
Just to clarify this - Benny Hinn is not a personal friend. He is only an acquaintance. I have never nor do I now agree or sanction his theology.
I continue to preach the Revelation of Jesus Christ and that Jesus Christ is God manifest in the Flesh. I continue to preach the Revelation of the Power & Presence of Jesus Christ in the Church today. There has always been and will always be One and only One true and living God. I have never baptized anyone in any other way but in the Name of Jesus Christ.
I have had the Baptism of the Holy Ghost for 50 years and teach that being filled with the Holy Ghost is essential to a life of Salvation, Healing, Deliverance and the Blessing of the Lord. I do teach in the present day manifestation of the Five Fold Ministry and in the full restoration of all Supernatural Gifts of the Holy Ghost in the Church today.
