Perhaps,he, like the new Pope will not be intimidated by the politically correct.
Really? That isn't how the MSM are touting it. Rev. Graham gave them every excuse to use that photo op and statement in a future campaign----and you can be damned sure the Liberals use it.
Mr. Graham just lost the respect of a lifetime of good work.
That's pretty crass, if true. Do you really think he's that cynical?
Billy Graham - WTH - false prophet??? - crusading for what??? - getting Hillary re-elected as president???
Democrats put money in the plate too.;)
The evangelist is suffering from fluid on the brain...
Is there a correspondence?
Don't you know that Graham is the infallible Evangelical Pope?
He has been called the "Protestant pope," but at one time at least many Baptists rejected the term "Protestant" in reference to themselves.
Well, I guess they'd have to; after all, to whom and what do they "protest"?
I agree with you, and I can't justify the 'recommendations' to the Clintons. I remember years ago when Dr. Graham appeared on the old "Jack Paar's Tonight Show", Paar asked him what his followers thought of him associating with someone like him? Graham replied, that 'Jesus didn't come to minister to the saved; He came to seek and save the lost.' I've always tried to give BG the benefit of the doubt when I've seen him with people of questionable character.
When my children were young and I felt they needed to evaluate some of their friends, I always referred them to 1 Cor. 15:33 ... Do not be misled. "Bad company corrupts good character." I plan to use this with my grandchildren when they are older, and it could serve some adults well too. I don't think Billy Graham's character has been corrupted, but when he promotes people with bad character, it sends the wrong message to others. I hope he was trying to find something kind to say, and simply misspoke.
I do - I've been looking for a source to link back too, but I clearly remember Graham placing all the blame on the women - he couldn't even manage to fault Clinton for his lack of self-control. I lost all respect for him then.
There was an immediate outcry. A lame apology. Evidently low friends in high places feed Graham's ego.
Beware of quotes which are clipped and which may have been taken out of context. Journalists do this all the time. We would have to see the complete sentences to know what Graham really meant and said.
That being said, Graham never spoke out against Clinton's crimes. I did not respect him for that. I'm glad he's won many to the Lord, but I never really trusted his politics.
I wouldn't be surprised if Graham was a socialist.
I just wonder if those statements don't come from a man from another generation that does not see the world through purely political eyes. It may not have been a reference to her running the country as a future president but a hat tip to her current position as a US senator and an acknowledgment of his ability to speak well.
In any case, I don't think it really matters. I doubt that most people are going to be swayed by a passing comment like this. If BG endorses Hillary for president once she announces, then I will be very upset. Until then, I'll just give him the benefit of the doubt.
I do wish that the Clintons hadn't been there. While I do not automatically doubt BG's motives, I always, without question, doubt their's. And I know that it really ruined it for many people who were just looking to hear the Word.
Honest.(-:
ROFLMAO. Again, I have to remind myself not to eat and FReep. I almost choked.
No cause for alarm. Billy Grahams wife Ruth wasn't there. No harm done.
It's just another photo op to help get him back into the white house. clinton is still clinton.
