Costi Hinn had a personal grievance against Michael O’Fallon ( @Sovereign Nations ) Instead of just addressing O’Fallon, Costi chose to wage a Twitter war on the few guys in Evangelicalism who actually have spines (such as Doug Wilson ( @Canon Press ).

Costi has been a hero in fighting one dragon (the prosperity gospel), but over the past few years he has sat on the sidelines with this current dragon (social justice/civil tyranny). The problem is that going hard in the paint against the prosperity gospel (which truly damns souls to hell) doesn’t get you banned from social media. It doesn’t cost you your job. It doesn’t make you an enemy of the state. Nancy Pelosi doesn’t care about Reformed churches calling out Benny Hinn and Hillsong. In other words, it’s not nearly as costly. Costi sat out of the harder fight. The guys who had the guts to go to war against this current dragon are now receiving some of their due praise. Costi would rather critique their sword fighting techniques (such as criticizing Doug Wilson’s rhetoric) than thank them for seeing/fighting an enemy which Costi ignored.

All that said, it’s vital to mention that Costi Hinn didn’t just memory-hole his mistake, he actually apologized for it. In other words, Costi did something Big Eva would never do. He repented.

I sincerely hope it stays that way.
