T.D. Jakes to Franklin Graham: Apologize to Obama
Houston Chronicle ^ | 5/22/11

Posted on 05/22/2011 12:24:59 PM PDT by truthandlife

Bishop T.D. Jakes, a Dallas megachurch pastor who will be preaching at Lakewood Church during Memorial Day weekend, is calling out Franklin Graham on his his hesitancy to accept Obama as a Christian and asking he apologize for casting speculation onto the president’s faith.

We didn’t question the Christianity of President Bush when he said he accepted Christ, and I’m disappointed in Rev. Franklin Graham in that regard,” Jakes told Martin. ”…And I would hope that he would see the rationale in apologizing for such statements — because if the president’s faith is suspect, then all of our faiths are suspect, because the Bible is quite clear about what it takes to be saved and the president has been quite open about his accepting Christ and him openly confessing it before men. And if it’s good enough for the Bible it ought to be good enough for the rest of us.”

Why would Graham question Obama's Christian faith?

Could it be the Obama bows to Islam, supports and backs Muslims while they are killing Christians and burning down their churches all over the Mid East, and is filmed on You-tube stating that, bottom line, he will back Muslims. Doesn't sound like a born again Christian to me.

Also the fruit of the tree: Dad Billy.

Can bad fruit come from a good tree?
I’d trust F.G. over this other guy.

T.D. Jakes rejects the doctrine of the Trinity, therefore he himself is not a Christian either, but a Sabellian.

"We didn’t question the Christianity of President Bush when he said he accepted Christ

President Bush didn't go to school in a muslim Madrassa.

President Bush didn't claim to have a muslim for a father.

President Bush didn't grow up in a home with a muslim for a step father.

President Bush doesn't have a grandmother who said he was born in a muslim country.

President Bush didn't bow down to the muslim king in Saudi Arabia.

President Bush didn't say that "the muslim call to prayer is one of the prettiest sounds on Earth".

President Bush didn't tell NASA they should concentrate on muslim outreach.

What’s this pastor’s email address? We need to send those links to him. If it walks, talks, and acts like a Muzzie it more than likely is a Muzzie!

Can Barack Obama say, “Jesus is Lord of my life?”

I stand firmly with Franklin Gramham, whose example of living out his faith in blessing through the ministry to the least among us. No greater love than to lay down your life for your brother. Opposed to the name it and claim it ministries who has never been on the front lines in the way Samaritans Purse has.

Because GW displayed the 'fruits of the spirit'/evidence of his salvation that come naturally after accepting Christ. The madman in the WH has displayed not one indicator of those attributes.

Did TD Jakes approach Franklin Graham regarding his concern or did he just take it straight to the airwaves? Perhaps Jakes need to repent of this matter himself.

I just a news clip of Franklin Gramham planting rice fields in N. Korea to help avoid a famine. He's also in Haiti.

My faith hasn’t changed regardless of what a Muslim Obama is. What’s gotten into T.D Jakes?

While TD is preaching at a megachurch, Franklin Graham continues to feed the poor and work in third world countries and deal with muslim and their sharia law there.

If Graham says according to the common knowledge in those countries, they consider him a muslim (which is all graham ever really said), then I think he knows more than a bunch of megachurches in the US who are focused on race.

Obama’s religion is not suspect, he is a Muslim.

Jakes urged his followers to vote for The One. Melanin is Jakes’ master.
