The Rev. Franklin Graham, under pressure from faith groups, apologized for suggesting that President Obama is not a Christian:
“I regret any comments I have ever made which may have cast any doubt on the personal faith of our president, Mr. Obama,” Graham said in a statement on Tuesday, according to the Religious News Service.
“I apologize to him and to any I have offended for not better articulating my reason for not supporting him in this election — for his faith has nothing to do with my consideration of him as a candidate,” he added.
Graham caused a stir earlier this month when he said hedged on whether Obama was a Christian in an MSNBC appearance — but had no problem identifying Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum as Catholics.
Makes me wonder if his ministry got a phone call from the IRS...
OH NO HE DID’NT! That is disappointing. As a Christian, I realize I am far from perfect and sin like every other human who breathes BUT I will say unapologetically that you simply CANNOT be a Christian and hold the views of a liberal. No way, now how. If you are for abortion, you aren’t a Christian. If you support gay marriage, you are not a Christian.
Everything that liberals believe goes against the morality and values of people of faith.
I’m not afraid to say it. I’ve said it before and p!ssed a few people off, but the truth hurts.
If it walks like a duck...
It’s a wonder he can walk upright with a backbone like that!
What, exactly, did Franklin Graham say? As I recall, it was something like he was willing to take Obama at his word.
Franklin used his apology to point out that he wasn’t supporting the president and that he had other reasons that he had tried to articulate for that.
This is how it works with the liberal media.
They will ask you about Obama’s faith. If you don’t praise Obama. They will mock, hound, threaten, bully, smear, etc until they force you to apologize.
Then they will run stories: Rev Graham apologizes for questioning Obama’s faith (which he never did).
Meanwhile the GOP’s religion and faith can be smeared and mocked all day long. It’s absolutely corrupt.
If you are for abortion, you aren’t a Christian. If you support gay marriage, you are not a Christian.
I agree. Nope I am not trying to judge people but just making a fact. You are 100 percent correct in this assessment.
Yes! How dare he...!!!
I mean Obama only had a muslim father (which makes him a muslim in their eyes)
He went to a muslim school in Indonesia.
He can recite the muslims ‘call to prayer’ in perfect arabic. He describes it as the most beautiful sound on earth
His Indonesian school application form lists his religion as “Islam”
His adopted father was a muslim.
We have never seen him eat a pork chop.
He does not celebrate Easter or Christmas or any Jewish holidays in the white house (but did relent and get a “Christmas Wishing Tree”) but he DOES celebrate Ramadan and more obscure Muslim holidays.
His first acts as President were to call Muslims countries and initiate “muslim outreach” programs at NASA.
He TOLD the president of one of the Muslim countries (I forget which) that he is a Muslim...
So....
Of course he is a Christian (he said so!)
Yes he did, but then he went on to castigate Obama for supporting Muslims but not doing anything about persecuted Christians.
Then Franklin said he could not support any candidate that supports abortion and same sex marriage.
Just like his father: WORTHLESS.
I gave up on Billy Graham when he said that Hillary would be a good president, totally regarding her disgusting sinful life, perjury, suborning perjury, accessory to murder, theft, lying, etc.
So, his son becomes another slice off the old ham by ignoring the fact that the POS in our White House has already admitted at least twice, on tape, for the world to see, corrected only by a stupid tv reporter, to being a muslim . . . in his own words . . . muslim.
May both Grahams go to Hades.
So now Franklin Grahamis buying into “collective salvation”, too?
Be well Citizen...

“I apologize for questioning Obama’s Muslim faith”
This is what he gets for trying to equivocate. Instead he should have clearly stated from the start that Obama was not a Christian. It would have been a good opportunity to explain the gospel to a national audience; instead now he’s spread the message that anyone can claim Christ simply by going to church occasionally.
What IS it with all this apologizing crap?
