On Tuesday I posted about the bizarre language that we use in Christianity, and gave an example of how it can be twisted and manipulated for strange ends. I thought that might be the end of it. However, I have stumbled across a story from beliefnet.com that takes the cake. They call it “Mrs. Benny Hinn’s Moment of Zen”:
Televangelist Benny Hinn is threatening to sue the religious satire magazine The Door for the video clip it is distributing that shows Hinn's wife, Suzanne, preaching at their former church in Orlando, Florida. She says if you're a lifeless, blackslidden Christian, you need a "Holy Ghost enema... right up your rear end."
I have to say, nothing says “the Kingdom” like a Holy Ghost enema. Now, I am all for using metaphors and communicating the gospel in the vernacular of the day. But come on! Are you serious?
Well, until next time, keep your Jesus’ vampire blood on tap, and rectums immaculate.
By the way, the video of this gem is on that website as well.
