Course, I was thinking along the lines of doing away with the celebrity mindset when it comes to brothers in Christ...julhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15688008902332240637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13792024.post-21957890068912771672008-09-08T15:26:00.000+01:002008-09-08T15:26:00.000+01:00Ha ha thanks Ryan! :)Ah interesting question ianm...Ha ha thanks Ryan! :)<BR/><BR/>Ah interesting question ianmcn - I wondered when someone would bring that up. I must admit, it did cross my mind too. And probably was the main reason why I didn't go near Benny - because believe me, those guys were BIG! And looked very serious!<BR/><BR/>I remember Rob Rufus made a comment about someone being assigned to Joshua Mills when he came to visit City Church, and that struck me as rather odd too. My answer (and it's just my thoughts) is this:<BR/><BR/>Is it because men and women who move in the supernatural are so rare these days that they become almost automatic celebrities and may be approached by desperate people who need healing at any time of the day or night - and sometimes that desperation may turn into danger?<BR/><BR/>I know that if I had terminal cancer, I would risk all to try and get a touch off Benny Hinn, Todd Bentley, Rob Rufus, Heidi Baker - you name it. And if nothing happened with one touch I would want more touches! Desperation can lead to irrational behaviour and maybe that's the reason?<BR/><BR/>You mentioned the apostles - I wonder if at times they acted like Jesus's gang of heavies? After all didn't He have to say; "Let the little children come to Me and don't hinder them".<BR/><BR/>I'm not justifying anything - I don't know Benny Hinn's ministry very well, but I'm just commenting on something that intrigued me too.Dan Bowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15661120561123767936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13792024.post-84618055015286337372008-09-08T14:31:00.000+01:002008-09-08T14:31:00.000+01:00Is it me, or is there something strange about a Ch...Is it me, or is there something strange about a Christian minister having a security detail in the way a president or PM might? Seems a bit like putting your faith in Chariots and Horses. I can't quite imagine the Apostles (who were in much more constant danger than Benny) had a gang of heavies to defend them.Ian McNaughthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06766238870170621268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13792024.post-77836505447851014312008-09-08T09:54:00.000+01:002008-09-08T09:54:00.000+01:00You're a funny funny man Dan!!!You're a funny funny man Dan!!!Ryan Rufushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14679472008667526567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13792024.post-40700022771040106612008-09-08T01:45:00.000+01:002008-09-08T01:45:00.000+01:00BTW: Funny addendum, just after I finished taking ...BTW: Funny addendum, just after I finished taking this video Benny and his bodyguards headed directly for us and Benny started browsing round the bakery section too.
