If Graham is using Jesus in this way, isn’t that blasphemy.
Don’t know if he is telling the truth or not, he’s an elected official, but when it comes to getting re-elected NOTHING else matters, NOTHING.
It is the same misuse of the teachings/example of Jesus Christ that Bill Clinton attempted when he cited the adulteress, how Christ forgave her the sin when Billy Jeff got caught in public scandal, leaving out the most important part of the entire lesson. They all do this, they always leave out the last five words of the passage: "Go, AND SIN NO MORE."
People who do this pick and choose which part of His words fit to absolve or justify -- no matter how many foolish people they manage to con, unfortunately for them they cannot do so to the One for whom any of this really matters.
