"Adam was a super-being when God created him"
About this Quote
The word “super-being” does a lot of work. It drags biblical anthropology into the language of comic books and self-optimization, collapsing the distance between the sacred and the aspirational. That’s not an accident in Hinn’s world, where faith is often framed as access to power: healing power, authority power, even reality-bending power. By recasting Adam as extraordinary by design, the fall becomes not just sin but theft: humanity was meant to operate at a higher wattage, and the Christian life becomes recovery of that original “spec.”
Subtextually, the line flirts with a controversial edge: if Adam was “super,” what does that imply about human nature in the image of God, and where does the Creator end and the creature begin? Critics hear the blur and call it heresy-adjacent; followers hear permission to expect miracles and refuse smallness.
Context matters: late-20th-century televangelism thrives on spectacle, testimony, and the promise of breakthrough. “Super-being” matches the medium. It’s theology engineered for broadcast: vivid, repeatable, and just provocative enough to keep the audience leaning forward.
