A Response from Rev. Franklin Graham

From Franklin Graham:

My Response to Christianity Today:

Christianity Today released an editorial stating that President Trump should be removed from office—and they invoked my father’s name (I suppose to try to bring legitimacy to their statements), so I feel it is important for me to respond. Yes, my father Billy Graham founded Christianity Today; but no, he would not agree with their opinion piece. In fact, he would be very disappointed. I have not previously shared who my father voted for in the past election, but because of this article, I feel it is necessary to share it now. My father knew Donald Trump, he believed in Donald Trump, and he voted for Donald Trump. He believed that Donald J. Trump was the man for this hour in history for our nation.

For Christianity Today to side with the Democrat Party in a totally partisan attack on the President of the United States is unfathomable. Christianity Today failed to acknowledge that not one single Republican voted with the Democrats to impeach the President. I know a number of Republicans in Congress, and many of them are strong Christians. If the President were guilty of what the Democrats claimed, these Republicans would have joined with the Democrats to impeach him. But the Democrats were not even unanimous—two voted against impeachment and one voted present. This impeachment was politically motivated, 100% partisan. Why would Christianity Today choose to take the side of the Democrat left whose only goal is to discredit and smear the name of a sitting president? They want readers to believe the Democrat leadership rather than believe the President of the United States.

Look at all the President has accomplished in a very short time. The economy of our nation is the strongest it has been in 50 years, ISIS & the caliphate have been defeated, and the President has renegotiated trade deals to benefit all Americans. The list of accomplishments is long, but for me as a Christian, the fact that he is the most pro-life president in modern history is extremely important—and Christianity Today wants us to ignore that, to say it doesn’t count? The President has been a staunch defender of religious freedom at home and around the world—and Christianity Today wants us to ignore that? Also the President has appointed conservative judges in record number—and Christianity today wants us to ignore that? Christianity Today feels he should be removed from office because of false accusations that the President emphatically denies.

Christianity Today said it’s time to call a spade a spade. The spade is this—Christianity Today has been used by the left for their political agenda. It’s obvious that Christianity Today has moved to the left and is representing the elitist liberal wing of evangelicalism.

Is President Trump guilty of sin? Of course he is, as were all past presidents and as each one of us are, including myself. Therefore, let’s pray for the President as he continues to lead the affairs of our nation.

I am posting this letter at the suggestion of another Christian FReeper. It appeared as a response to an article in "Christianity Today", a magazine that was founded by Rev. Billy Graham. The magazine sure ain't what I remember from the early 1980's!

Excellent response from Franklin Graham. Thank you for posting it.

Leftists hijack every successful organization. Consider the Ford Foundation. It is now a branch of the communist party. Henry Ford is spinning in his grave.

Great letter. Thanks.

Yep, leftists ruin everything they can get their grasping hands on, including entire Christian denominations.

The late great Rev.Graham if he was around would have been very hurt to see the magazine that he founded has changed.

Trump blasts Christian magazine that called for his removal

"Trump tweeted Friday morning that Christianity Today, an evangelical magazine founded by the late Rev. Billy Graham, “would rather have a Radical Left nonbeliever, who wants to take your religion & your guns, than Donald Trump as your President.” The magazine’s editor-in-chief published an argument for Trump’s removal on Thursday, citing his “blackened moral record.”

[Biggirl]

Thank-you Rev. Franklin.

Awesome!

I love our President.

[JusPasenThru]

Sorry, Rev, Graham, but if you study the Bible carefully you will see that it drips with cultural Marxism. Jesus was obviously a Fabian, and Moses was a Trotskyite.

OK, to us that was a bad joke but we now inhabit a universe in which people actually believe what I wrote above.

I know the ploy is to separate the Evangelicals from President Trump. I pray that it will not work.

2016 quoted in By the Numbers:
Protestant (all) 58%Trump 39% Hillary
White born again/Evangelical Christians: 81% Trump,16% Hillary
White Catholic 60 T 37 H
Hispanic Catholic 26 T 67H
Catholic (all) 52 T 45H
Mormon 61 T 25H
Religiously Unaffiliated 26 T 68H

Good letter.

Every Evangelical I know supports Trump.

Christianity Today publishes misinformation.

I hear you. I have to watch my own joking sometimes, as I lone irony and satire! :-)

But you are correct, and have defined “Liberation Theology” to a T.

[frank ballenger]

Thanks for posting.
May God bless Rev. Graham and President Trump. Amen.

Indeed.

It seems every secular “charitable” organization is a front for the left.

And some “religious” ones too.

My Pleasure.

You’re Welcome! :-)

“entire Christian denominations”...

You got THAT right.

I believe he would be, indeed.
