A VISITING American evangelist who claims healing powers has walked from a NSW court without even a fine despite driving 110km blind drunk and crashing into a parked car.
Self-claimed "prophet of God" Jason Hooper - touring with Hillsong protege Ben Hughes - declared God had forgiven him for his double-shot whisky binge that ended in a mangled wreck on the Mid North Coast.
"I've worked it out with the Lord. I was wrong," Hooper told The Sunday Telegraph.

Jake and Elwood were the last to have officially been on a mission from god. Anyone else claiming that is full of it.

Hillsong, why am I not surprised.
I happen to be married to the step-daughter of someone who used to attend and work with Hillsong - someone whom I will not name but was one of their big name pastors for many years until he woke up to what was going on. My wifes father also did work with Hillsong and the stories he tells are shocking to say the least.
Hillsong is a fraud. Brian Houston should be jailed.edit on 27/6/2011 by Kryties because: (no reason given)

another religious muppet. almost as bad as a muslim/jew or what ever spirit in the sky crew. Wish they would all die and leave us infidels in peace. Thats the only way we are going to have peace on earth. When we get rid of muppets like this.
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
2 Pet 2:3 [NIV] In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.

The penalty is fines, loss of license and or jail. This guy got off basically scott-free. More than can be said for the average person in my country who gets caught drunk driving. First offence or not. Someone could have easily been killed. This guy preaches from a high place but has little to no regard for anyone else's life. Hypocrisy much?
These people need to be held to a higher standard than the average person. He is a prophet of god no?
Ridiculous!
