Christian Leader Franklin Graham Defends Trump: This Election Is About Future of the Supreme Court
The Gateway Pundit ^ | Oct 14th, 2016 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 10/15/2016 8:43:33 AM PDT by xzins

Christian leader Franklin Graham defended Donald Trump on Friday after a week of unvetted allegations by the liberal media by Hillary Clinton supporters.

Franklin reminds Christians this election is not about Donald Trump’s actions from 11 years ago or Hillary Clinton’s many lies. This election is about the future of the Supreme Court and religious freedom.

From Franklin’s Facebook page:

A lot of people are slamming evangelicals for supposedly giving Donald J. Trump a pass. That’s simply not true. No one is giving him a pass. I’m certainly not, and I’ve not met an evangelical yet who condones his language or inexcusable behavior from over a decade ago. However, he has apologized to his wife, his family, and to the American people for this. He has taken full responsibility. This election isn’t about Donald Trump’s behavior from 11 years ago or Hillary Clinton’s recent missing emails, lies, and false statements. This election is about the Supreme Court and the justices that the next president will nominate. Evangelicals are going to have to decide which candidate they trust to nominate men and women to the court who will defend the constitution and support religious freedoms. My prayer is that Christians will not be deceived by the liberal media about what is at stake for future generations.

Donald J. Trump 17 hours ago Thank you Franklin Graham!

It’s far deeper than that.

This election is a referendum on the Rule of Law.

Their hatred of Catholics and evangelicals directly ties into our support of life. We believe blood guilt puts our nation under judgement. They don’t believe in God, so they have no concern at all for blood guilt. We believe shedding innocent blood is a major crime against God.

The amazingly sinister part of that email was the admission that infiltration of the Catholic Church is part of their plot.

They are demonic.

Revelation 12:9 The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.

Sadly that is probably true.

I think he might want to be General Secty of the United Nations first, though.

Believe NOTHING the liberal media feeds you. NOTHING. They are on a propaganda WAR footing against every decent law-abiding Constitutional loving person. ANYONE who believes their propaganda, frets about it, wets their pants about it, is not fit for the war they have pronounced on our communities to destroy and reshape them into globalist socialist cesspools. BUCK UP!!

Trump’s lewd language doesn’t even compare to the debauched youth of one history’s greatest Christian thinkers.

Augustine of Hippo. He became a Catholic saint and one of the Doctors Of The Church.

Christians need to consider context in weighing one’s sins. Forgiveness is always possible for who repent and lead the life God expects of them.

I am pleased that Christian leaders are seeing through the smear campaign to the real issues. Ben Carson said he would be glad to see a return to teaching Judeo-Christian values, but let's do that later because right now the train is about to go off the cliff.

I agree with this. Let's save the train first. Then we can work out the values. (Watch how quickly Democrats will forget about Biblical values.)

Polls were reporting that evangelical support was lagging after the media began the Trump smear campaign.

Graham, recognized and respected by millions of evangelicals, has come out in support of Trump.

It is important to win back those voters and to show Graham’s support.

Yes, this is the angle that Chaput sees. Interesting, he is the head of the Philadelphia diocese. He is beyond offended and noted just yesterday how 2 young punks on Obama’s team were leaning on him in ‘08 to lighten up on pushing the abortion issue. I am a lifelong Catholic and speaking anecdotally, the large Catholic community I am part of are revolted by Hillary, and overwhelmingly pro-Trump!

He can finish the job of completing the transformation of the US to a Progressive State faster on the Supreme Court.

After that, he leads to world into a progressive singularity.

I think we also need to make the point that we aren’t simply voting for POTUS, we are voting for a team. The various cabinet secretaries possess enormous authority, too. I get all the arguments about Trump’s immorality, but would my fellow Christians rather have men like Ben Carson and Mike Huckabee in the cabinet or the anti-American leftist cretins Hillary would appoint?

Excellent point worth restating.

Trump grew up under the influence of Hefner and all the sexual revolution profiteers. He has some reorientation ahead of him, we all do.

Graham did not disappoint! Men should be men and not pansy followers of the media circus... those men who capitulated are women dominated and don’t even know they have a mind of their own.

Men who ...... Go with the flow.. wherever the wind blows.. where the crowd is... cover their backsides.... see which is the right tent to be in... all fake.. and afraid to stand on the right side.. the side they’ll get hit on, for they cannot stand on their own.

Yeah, I have a thing about feminized men... they are not appealing.. nor can they stand alone and not waver. Look at all of them who have “standing with Trump” and when the least bit of angst news is reported by the lying left media... don’t question it.. just “withdraw my support from Trump” because the wind shifted..
Come on... do what is right for a once in your life!!!!

Yup. He see the writing on the wall. If Hillary is allowed to appoint the judges, her stacked liberal activist courts will do her bidding and the days of open Christianity in Americca are numbered.

“Christians will have to change their beliefs.” —Queen Hillary
