Billy Graham still preaches the Gospel of inclusion
Billy Graham
MONTREAT, N.C. — Every morning the world’s most famous evangelist walks slowly and carefully up the narrow road twisting behind his log cabin. He sits on an iron bench, set in a clearing amid the pines where a tiny stream plunges down the ridge to form an icy pool far below.
Here, Billy Graham, 86 and every day more frail, prays, “Help me, Lord.” Here, he practices his voice, a habit of 40 years, “like an opera singer does the scales. Yes. Yes. Yes. No. No. No.”
He’s warming up for his 417th crusade — three nights of Christian testimony and music in New York, culminating in his inimitable call to come forward to God. The event in late June will be his first appearance in the city since he packed Central Park in 1991.
Today, as many fundamentalists and “traditionalists” refuse to share podiums with people who don’t share their vision of salvation, Graham opens his events to people of every...
ED, the editor has every right to remove lies! Although I never asked him, Your words against me are simply unfounded slander! Which you have vainly reposted so many times!
That which I have said, has been well founded upon the word of God and the facts as they have presented themselves!
Ed, be honest with yourself, In the face of so many plain verses how can you deny the eternal punishment of the ungodly?
In light of so many facts that Billy Graham is sold out to the whore of Rome and so clearly is a deciever, how can you support him?
Why do you despise the truth?
Psa 37:12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. Psa 37:13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming. Psa 37:14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation. Psa 37:15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
Mr. Editor, which is probably of some affiliation with Anthony, you have the nerves to sensor the opinions of other while clinging to the opinions of others. Your rules are not to threaten or violate anyone, which is exactly what Anthony, Rus, and others have blatantly done before us all. How can you be so biased and prejudice to someone elses opinion? You have not been fair at all, even if the views of certain people were not that of your own. You have shown your true intent, which is to have the views of your like to be posted on this sight, and very little tolerance for the views of others. For people to call other people wolves, judging them as false prophets, and condemning them to hell itself, and yet to allow their vulgar and ungodly comments to remain posted is outright prejudice. What ever happened to freedom of speech? Whatever happened to allowing the wheat and tare to grown together and God will do the separating. You should make it known this sight is obviously a sight for only the elites of your preference. If one man can throw stones of hatred, another can pass on words of inclusive love. What exactly is your problem with this, my Christian brother? You really need to check yourself in this matter. Like it or not. Don't sensor this comment either.
If you listened to that last sermon, then you might want to try this one, though I am sure most have heard it, seeing it is consistently amongst the top downloaded sermons.
Having understood the nature of eternal punishment a little better, this one will show you the danger that all unconverted wicked men are in, how they are liable to slip into hell at any moment!
A SCARY REALITY FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT KNOW GOD!
INCLUDING THOSE WHO THINK THEY KNOW HIM, BUT DO NOT!
Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Psa 73:17 ... I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end. Psa 73:18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction. Psa 73:19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.
For those who take issue with the eternal punishment of the wicked, and indeed for all and any that would like to understand this doctrine better, I recommend the following.

You'll hear what Robert Schuller (Rick Warren's mentor) really believes and then hear Schuller and Billy Graham discuss their common universalist beliefs.
American Catholicism's most famous T.V. star died Sunday evening December 9. Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen won countless thousands to the Roman faith. Newsweek described him as, "Author, and for years the best known Roman Catholic clergyman in America . . . Taught Philosophy for 24 years at Catholic University and served as National Director of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith . . . He was a traditionalist and proud of it . . . As a bishop, Sheen proved obedient to the spirit of Vatican II . . . " (December 24, 1979). Associated Press contacted Billy Graham that night and the evangelist called Sheen's death "a great loss to the nation and both the Catholic and Protestant churches. He broke down the walls of prejudice between Catholics and Protestants . . . I mourn his death and look forward to our reunion in heaven" (Nashua Telegraph, December 10, 1979).
HAVING A GOLDEN CUP IN HER HAND FULL OF ABOMINATIONS AND FILTHINESS OF HER FORNICATION: AND UPON HER FOREHEAD WAS A NAME WRITTEN, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. AND I SAW THE WOMAN DRUNKEN WITH THE BLOOD OF THE SAINTS, AND WITH THE BLOOD OF THE MARTYRS OF JESUS Rev 17
"When it comes to calling people to making a personal commitment to Jesus Christ, well we really don't have any differences." So said Sister Macrina Scott. The Roman Catholic nun had trained some eighty counselors for the July, 1987, Billy Graham crusade in Denver, Colorado.
Sister Scott was not alone. Priest Donald Willette, from St. Jude's Roman Catholic Church in a Lakewood suburb, was a supervisor of the 6,600 trained counselors. He reported "there were 500 cards" of individuals being referred to St. Thomas More Roman Catholic church in Englewood from one service alone.
Obviously, the form of evangelism being employed at this crusade was strongly pro-Catholic. The media pointed out that "Months of work between crusade planners and Catholic leaders--behind the scenes--built up a cushion of trust," and as a result "Catholics were waiting to help Catholics express their new and renewed faith in their mother church" (Rocky Mountain News, July 25, 1987).
Psa 58:3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. Psa 58:4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
Mike, truth has always been a crime to evil men and seducers!
Well not one of these Christ hating liars, has posted anything sensible neither have they given any good reason why they are universalists, and why they side with that Christ hating liar and champion wolf Billy Balaam Graham!
But the reason they do is obvious to anyone with the Spirit of God!
Billy is one of their own, they are a pack of wolves!
Joh 15:17 These things I command you, that ye love one another. Joh 15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. Joh 15:19 IF YE WERE OF THE WORLD, THE WORLD WOULD LOVE HIS OWN:but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
Anthony, I think you could stop casting your pearls before the swine anytime now. How dare you use the Lord Jesus' words to attack evil and error. That's a pretty bad thing to do. I do not understand that line of thinking from the side that sides with compromise and error. Keep on brother. Or maybe you should just sign off this thread.
Mat 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
Anthony, you have been barked at and also rended. You can't make a blind man see - like 'Ed' and 'Got your back Ed/again Anthony' (which is probably just Ed writing pseudePIGraphically). Only Jesus can grant repentance to Ed if He so chooses. Let's pray that He does ... but it is up to Him.
Thanks for posting some great info on Billy. It's "the rest of the story" that you never hear from most pulpiteers.
1997. In Billy Graham's autobiography, he made clear that his goal was not to lead people out of Roman Catholicism: "My goal, I always made clear, was not to preach against Catholic beliefs or to proselytize people who were already committed to Christ within the Catholic Church. Rather, it was to proclaim the Gospel to all those who had never truly committed their lives to Christ" (from Billy Graham's autobiography, "Just As I Am", p. 357). "3
IF ANY MAN TEACH OTHERWISE, AND CONSENT NOT TO WHOLESOME WORDS, EVEN THE WORDS OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND TO THE DOCTRINE WHICH IS ACCORDING TO GODLINESS; 4 HE IS PROUD, KNOWING NOTHING, BUT DOTING ABOUT QUESTIONS AND STRIFES OF WORDS, WHEREOF COMETH ENVY, STRIFE, RAILINGS, EVIL SURMISINGS, 5 PERVERSE DISPUTINGS OF MEN OF CORRUPT MINDS, AND DESTITUTE OF THE TRUTH, SUPPOSING THAT GAIN IS GODLINESS: FROM SUCH WITHDRAW THYSELF" (1TIMOTHY 6:3-5).
2Co 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?
2CO 6:17 WHEREFORE COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM, AND BE YE SEPARATE!
Again, we say, Anthony, go to bed and maybe you will learn how to fight your own personal battles with your own weapons instead of using JESUS' words as your bull-horns. For you to be a believer, you sure buck like an unbeliever. You are definitely in need of being taught to behave as a lamb and deal with your uncontrollable religious piety that has absolutely no resemblance of God or Christ, even though you mask what you say in His words. In fact, you are perhaps one that the bible speaks of as those who dress up in sheep's clothing and yet are wolves inwardly. Yea, I think I finally figured you out. It took a minute, but I think I got it. So stop hiding in those clothing, or stop behaving out of character, sheep. Or goat? Well, by the way that you blabber your lips with the proper words of Scripture, though used in the wrong text and with a hateful retort, and yet you have no consciousness of what you are saying, your heart being so far displaced from your lips, you are as Jesus said, "your heart is in one condition, but yet being camoflauged by the unconscious words of your uncontrollable tongue in between your ever-flowing lips. Sad situation we have here brothers. Very sad!
1997, January. Larry King interviewed Billy Graham, and he easily induced Graham to make statements applauding the Pope and the Church of Rome.
KING: What do you think of the other [churches]... like Mormonism? Catholicism? Other faiths within the Christian concept?
GRAHAM: Oh, I think I have a wonderful fellowship with all of them. For example...
KING: You're comfortable with Salt Lake City? You're comfortable with the Vatican?
GRAHAM: I am very comfortable with the Vatican. I have been to see the Pope several times. In fact, preaching in his cathedral in Krakow. I was his guest... [and] when he was over here... in Columbia, South Carolina... he invited me on the platform to speak with him. I would give one talk, and he would give the other...
KING: You like this Pope?
GRAHAM: I like him very much.... He and I agree on almost everything.
The Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 2Th 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 2Th 1:9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
In 1992, Billy Graham broadcast all over the U.S. his radio show called Embrace America 2000. In the Louisiana area, it came over the KJAM Lafayette Station. During the show, Billy Graham told the American people we need to embrace the New World Order. Billy Graham is also on record stating that people can have salvation through paganism (another name for witchcraft). For instance, in McCall Magazine (Jan. 1987) Graham stated, "I used to believe that pagans in far-off countries were lost--were going to hell. I no longer believe that. I believe that there are other ways of recognizing the existence of God--through nature, for instance."
Again, we say, Anthony, go to bed and maybe you will learn how to fight your own personal battles with your own weapons instead of using JESUS' words as your bull-horns. For you to be a believer, you sure buck like an unbeliever.

The Infamous May 31, 1997 Interview: Graham and Schuller
The Reverend Robert Schuller of California's Crystal Cathedral interviewed Billy Graham.
ROBERT SCHULLER: "Tell me, what do you think of the future of Christianity?" BILLY GRAHAM: "I think everybody who knows Christ, whether they're conscious of it or not, they're members of the Body of Christ...God's purpose is to call out a people for His name, whether they come from the Muslim world, Buddhist world, the Christian world, or the non-believing world, they are members of the Body of Christ, because they've been called by God. They may not even know the name of Jesus...and I think they are saved, and that they are going to be in heaven with us." ROBERT SCHULLER (overjoyed): "What I hear you saying is that it's possible for Jesus Christ to come into human hearts and soul and life even if they've been born into darkness and never had exposure to the Bible. Is that a correct interpretation of what you are saying?" BILLY GRAHAM: "Yes it is, because I believe that. I've met people in various parts of the world...that have never seen a Bible or heard about a Bible, and never heard of Jesus, but they've believed in their hearts that there was a God." http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Wolves/billy_graham_exposed.htm
Mar 7:5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands? Mar 7:6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Mar 7:7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. Mar 7:8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. Mar 7:9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
YOU BY YOUR UNIVERSALISM REJECT GOD, AS DID THE PHARISEES BY THEIR TRADITION!
You take God's name upon your lips, but deny him, therefore your heart is far from him!
May the Lord take away your heart of stone!
You are ashamed to identify yourself with Christ and his words of hellfire for the ungodly.
Take heed of this warning!
Luk 9:26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.
