Sounds pretty partisan to me. Obama clearly is a closeted Muslim.

Jesus is neither Republican nor Democrat.

No, but it is entirely possible for one or the other party to become anti-Christian.

“...just as you shouldn’t spread the lie that Obama is a closeted Muslim...”

No bias there.

This slide has been going on since the fight about who would take
the place of Billy Graham. At that point Billy wanted his son. This has happened all over America with men leaving their status and churches to sons. I never noticed that happening in the Bible, but it is so in America.

“Why is Billy Graham taking sides in a presidential election?...Here’s why I think he shouldn’t....”

1) He’s an American, and that is his Constitutional right.

2) Nobody cares what you think.

3) Get lost.

The legacy we leave behind for our children, grandchildren and this great nation is crucial. As I approach my 94th birthday, I realize this election could be my last. 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.

Billy Graham

Choice between a viper and a garden snake.

(Not that Bath-House is a viper-—he doesn’t have the brain; it’s “above his paygrade”; but he’s surrounded by vipers.)

Good God—give Graham kudos for seeing the difference.

I venture that the state of this nation and the beliefs of Bh0 are beyond anything your grandmother knew and worse than she could ever fear. My grandmother died in 1982 and that is my point of reference for comparison. The USA under President Reagan vs the USA under Messiah Bh0.

Billy Graham realizes that fact and that we are in having to trust in Jesus for our souls and show our votes to expell one who is against everything that this country has stood for and who favors those who work to rid the nation of visible signs of Christianity.

I was watching the movie “Sergeant York” tonight and realized that there is no one in Hollywood who would make that movie today. And that the atheists would attack its references to York’s Christian beliefs. Watch the section where Pvt York is with his company and battalion commander, talking about his pacificism through where he is sent home on 10 furlough and then comes to his conclusion over what is the right thing to do; and that is within scriptural bounds.

It’s simple.

Christians know that religious liberty is important. We stand with those who will protect it.

Obama’s regime is trying to destroy it.

It’s not whose side God is on. God is a side. A person/party can choose to be on His side or not.

I have no disagreement with Rev. Graham’s plea that we vote for Biblical Values.

What concerns me is this — why did he have to go so far as declare Mormonism no longer a cult?

This is going too far.

Anyone who believes Billy Graham hasn’t weighed in on politics before has no clue.

It was only a few months ago when you couldn’t open a thread on this forum without having to deal with trolls like this dude telling us why we should just stand down and let Obami do us. Then a couple more would show up and take over the thread. Thank God that’s over but I still kept the list of those troll bastards.

This is the question that bothers me, not his endorsement of Romney ( from the article ):

So why, three weeks prior to one of the most hotly contested presidential elections in modern history, does America’s Evangelist need to suddenly declare Mormonism no longer a cult? Has there been an unreported change in Mormon theology or practice?

you shall surely set a king over you whom the Lord your God chooses; one from among your brethren you shall set as king over you; you may not set a foreigner over you, who is not your brother. Deuteronomy 17:15

Obama is NOT my "brother". And if this verse isn't "political", I don't know what is.
