I believe he claimed to be speaking under 'inspiration'.  From: Judy Taylor   Benny Hinn was quoting another source and from what I understand he repented of this error. so you'll need to find a more up to date one than this. A good illustration of the value of repentance for both lost and for those being saved......   Benny Hinn, another 'inspired' teacher/evangelist, once said that each of the Father, Son and Spirit was a trinity and thus, nine Gods. He also finds himself clever in the questions he puts forward to his hearers.   ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Miller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org> Sent: January 15, 2006 23:10 Subject: Re: Fw: [TruthTalk] Lance and "biblical language"     > The problem with the word "Trinity" is that it assume Three.  What do you > do > with texts that speak about the Seven Spirits of God? > > David Miller. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org ; TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org > Sent: Sunday, January 15, 2006 9:57 PM > Subject: Re: Fw: [TruthTalk] Lance and "biblical language" > > > I do not agree.  "Trinity" is as much a translation of the concept of > "divine essence" as is "godhead"  but for theological and contextual > reasons.  Call it philosophy if you will.  The inclusion of "trinity" is a > sound choice if it , in fact,  arises from a point of truth.   Equivalency > is a word that figures into my discussion.  I am sure you unders tand the > implication. > > jd > > -------------- Original message -------------- > From: "David Miller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >> The word "Trinity" is not a translation, nor is it a transliteration.
