1. If none of us could fall prey to deception, then why did Jesus bother warning that even the elect might be deceived (if possible)? We need to test the spirits, and to search the scriptures daily to see whether these things be so, that people are teaching.
2. Benny has taught many false things, repented of some, and returned to some. For example, in the last one from the list below: on TBN programs including those broadcast March 29, and April 2, Benny claims that Jesus would appear physically (in body) at one of his crusades in 2000!! (It didn't happen.)
3. But, what does the bible say about prophecies of Jesus appearing in the endtimes?
Matt 24: 23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
4. Jesus DID NOT appear at the expected crusades because he WILL NOT appear until the last trumpet sounds; and then every eye will see him. But Benny and other 'anointed ministers of the gospel' continue these OUTRAGEOUS teachings because they are so appealing. People continue to be caught up in the EXCITEMENT, NOT CARING whether it is DECEPTION, NOT CARING whether it is TRUE.
