Evangelist Benny Hinn and his wife of many years are divorcing (2010). Are you shocked by this? Will this cause you to lose faith and stop going to revival meetings/church on Sunday?

Lots of folks, good and bad split up. What is the big deal?

If it is blessed by god, and god is onipotent, why would marriages go wrong?

Benny Hinn is a freak. People dont get healed in his presence. They think they get healed, and stumble on stage, but when the euphoria is over, things return as they were, and they blame themselves for not having enough faith. I have seen this effect in person, it is parasidic. Meanwhile Hinn makes millions off of people's desperation. As far as his marriage goes, his wife probably thought she could have half his money without putting up with him. I have often wondered if these people who pull these shams even believe in God. Now, I am not saying athiests are evil. I just dont think he could believe what says he does, and do what he does to people. After such an experience, a person feels shame, guilt and embarrasment that they did not have "enough faith" to be healed. It is very traumatic.

I couldn't have said it better, my friend.
