Billy Graham buys election ads after Romney meeting
CNN ^ | October 18, 2012

Posted on 10/19/2012 2:29:36 PM PDT by SoFloFreeper

The most famous and revered pastor in America, Billy Graham, is calling on voters to cast a ballot for their faith in full-page ads in the Wall Street Journal, USA Today and other newspapers.

Graham’s picture appears prominently in the ads, next to copy that reads, “As I approach my 94th birthday, I realize this election could be my last.”

It continues, “I believe it is vitally important that we cast our ballots for candidates who base their decisions on biblical principles and support the nation of Israel. I urge you to vote for those who protect the sanctity of life and support the biblical definition of marriage between a man and a woman. Vote for biblical values this November 6, and pray with me that America will remain one nation under God.”

The ad hit the prominent papers Wednesday and Thursday, and could hit a dozen more newspapers...

No other religion as I see it backs the family like the Mormons do

If you're talking formally, the Lds has been largely AWOL -- grassroots troop-wise -- from the formal pro-life movement...and the Lds church allows for abortions for reasons of incest, rape, health of the Mom, if the abortionist says so, and if the Mormon god says so (via prayer)

Same-sex marriage wise, they got behind two ballot initiatives in CA...But that was just ONE state (out of dozens where SSM has been fought)...in an 8-yr period...

If you're talking informally...I don't think telling family members that they are "gods in embryo" -- entities beyond the human race -- is "edifying"...I don't telling family members that their "elder spirit brother" from some pre-existent world that they can't remember was Lucifer...is edifying...

Nor do I think their telling that if you marry more than one spouse in the temple "for eternity" that you'll become eternal polygamists is edifying.

This letter is from credible pro-life, pro-family conservatives, unlike many here who call themselves pro-life and pro-family but are working diligently to keep Obama in office.

put a cork in it -

do you REALLY think you know more about it than Billy GRahm?

People like you - holier than thou know-it-alls - are, I suspicion, going to have one whale of a shock when you pass to the other side.

“What did Romney really believe about Jesus Christ? Romney didn’t hesitate. “When I say JESUS CHRIST IS MY LORD AND SAVIOR, I realize that means something different to you than it does to me,” he admitted.

But he urged them to remember their shared beliefs: the faith that Christ was born of a virgin, was crucified and rose after three days. The ministers were pleased. “So you’re really a Baptist?” Lee cracked.”

Post 100 was a polite, informative post, I hope it clears up things for you about Mormonism, Catholics, and
Christianity.

Truth doesn’t burden you does it? Your reply was not polite, it was merely a childish outburst that was removed for language.

I don’t know why post 100 set you off like that.

No, I just am somewhat amazed to see such an outburst, especially when I have zero idea what it is about or related to.

Pious about what? Are you going to give any clues about what you are freaked out about, why you are so angry and personal?

Well, if you can’t decide whom to vote for based on either political philosophy or religion, then perhaps this advice will help: Vote for the American!

“why you are so angry and personal”

Because you are a liberal hack and a slimy little back stabbing jackweed.

Weird, but something is wrong with you, and you have no respect for freerepublic with posts like you have made on this thread.

I am sympathetic to people who want to get rid off Obama, as you know from my e-mails

but we would be guilty of purposely electing someone whose entire political career has supported homosexuals and abortion on every chance

his actions that led to homosexual marriage in Mass, were to allow unmarried couples to have full government recognition, regardless of sexual orientation.

In other words, Romney signed the bill so unmarried couples could be officially recognized by government agencies for reasons of pensions, health care, whatever.

sleeping around is a sin, just as adultery when married, just as sodomy, and Romney sanctioned it knowingly, and even apologized for what he knew would lead to gay marriage and told people he only signed the bill so unmarried couples would get government recognition.

he sanctioned sin, officially, and deliberately.

remember the Salt Lake City olympics that he led? There was a hullabaloo over the boy scouts and gay scoutmasters then, too?

So why did Romney REFUSE to allow boy scouts to be volunteers at the olympics in Salt Lake city, and why did Romney endorse gay scoutmasters 6 weeks ago?

Islam and Mormonism both started as false religions and remain so today. We would be choosing someone who his entire political life was a full blown liberal who now claims he never was despite the video proof of his liberalism.

What does God say about his religion and the religion of Obama?

Romney, according to the Bible, as well as Obama, are both accursed, and many people who claim to be Christians, are eager to support that which God calls an accursed thing.

Not me.

Gal 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
Gal 1:7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
Gal 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any [man] preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

I agree which is why I will never vote for Mitt Romney. I am voting for Virgil Goode and I am very saddened to see Rev Graham roll over for a non-Christian who is a liberal.

To: all the best

The heart of the jackass party is envy, jealousy, bitterness and coveting other people’s money. And idolatry.

- - - - -
That has become true of the GOP too, there is no reason they should have thrown up Mitt Romney where there were better and actual conservative choices.

The GOP doesn’t want Christians or Conservatives and Romney is an idolater.

I wish more Christians would get this.
