CC Bride, please don't be ignorant. The information is out there. All you have to do is research it. And by the way, have you even done your research on Mr. Grahahm? Any man that does to submit to the word of God and who befriends the Catholic Church which is the biggest enemy to Jesus Christ and the Bible cannot be trusted. It's as simple as that. If this article offended you, well you're going to just have to take it for what it is. And I want to ask you the same question which I have posted before. If the world hated Jesus, why would the world love Billy Graham?
Would a true Bible believing Christian be loved and highly respected by the world? That's the question you need to ask yourself CC Bride. And by the way, if you can't begin receive the truth on this matter, then you simply lack spiritual discernment. Read the words of our Lord and Saviour in John 15.
If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 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. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin. He that hateth me hateth my Father also. If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. - John 15:18-25

25 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,
26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
Can you explain this passage that came from the lips of Christ in relationship to hatred? The same word for hate (miseo) is used in both passages. Are we to conclude that a true man of God, in order to be a true disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ is to 'hate' those mentioned in (v.26)? Do you have a family and do you practice this passage of scripture as a disciple and follower of Jesus Christ? If not, then you have no right to accuse Billy Graham of those things that you have been very reckless about. You need to repent of your wicked heart before it turns into something that you will deeply regret.
