Is Billy Graham alive or dead? How about about Jim Nabors? Using only your memory please answer.

Huh?

Okay, my first thought was I don't recall hearing either had died, so I would say they are both still living. The evangelist Billy Graham moreso - because I know more about him and have a great deal of respect for him - than Jim Nabors (Gomer Pyle) assuming these two men were who you meant.

I'm not understanding your point for asking this. I recall a pastor of a church I attended asked his audience these questions:

How many of you have read the Bible book of Hezekiah? A bunch of hands went up.

How many have read in the Bible where it says, "God helps those who help themselves."? Again, numerous hands shot up.

Finally, he asked, "How many have read in the Bible that money is the root of all evil?". A lot of hands for that one.

Well, there is no book in the Bible called Hezekiah. There is nowhere in Scripture that says God helps those who help themselves. And the verse about money says that it is the "love of money" which is the root of all evil. People sometimes have faulty memories. It's a human condition. Some people's memories are better than others.

In my world both are dead. In yours they are alive. Weird.

My wife was at her mothers all day yesterday and didn’t get home until late. I asked her these questions and more. In her world they are both dead too. Weird.
