Like a Dog Returning to His Vomit, Benny Hinn Once Again "Repents" of the Prosperity Gospel

I stopped counting years ago how many times Benny Hinn has repented of pushing the prosperity gospel, but today marks another day in this endless cycle of feeling guilt and then, like a dog, returning to his own vomit. Each public apology from Hinn has become predictably followed by yet another appeal for money, but packaged as an exchange for God’s blessings. It's a wearying pattern of remorse and return that leaves one questioning the sincerity of any repentance at all.

Costi Hinn, Benny's nephew—now a Reformed pastor—has distanced himself from his uncle's ministry, criticizing the very doctrines of demons and false teachings that Benny Hinn continues to propagate. Costi remains vigilant in his hope for genuine repentance in Benny and has committed to praying for him. However, he does not mince words when addressing the deep-seated issues within Benny's ministry.

"My desire is that Uncle Benny's statement is not merely public remorse to save face or protect his ministry from decline," Costi said according to The Christian Post, "but rather that it is genuine repentance and that he would be willing to forsake everything if it means gaining Christ and the full Gospel."

The latest attempt by Benny Hinn to cleanse his stained reputation came to light in a recent Christianity Today article. Once again, Hinn expressed regret for his past teachings on prosperity theology, a regret he has voiced repeatedly over the years. Each iteration of his so-called repentance has been met with skepticism, and rightly so. Time and again, Hinn has demonstrated a pattern: express remorse, then pivot right back to soliciting funds under the guise of religious necessity.
