Shortly after Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney enjoyed cookies and soft drinks with the Rev. Billy Graham and his son Franklin Graham on Thursday at the elder Graham's mountaintop retreat, a reference to Mormonism as a cult was scrubbed from the website of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
In a section of the website called Billy Graham's My Answer there had been the question "What is a cult?"
Answer: "A cult is any group which teaches doctrines or beliefs that deviate from the biblical message of the Christian faith."
"Some of these groups are Jehovah's Witnesess, Mormons, the Unification Church, Unitarians, Spritualists, Scientologists, and others," the site continued.
No longer. On Tuesday, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association confirmed that page has recently been removed from the site.
Our primary focus at the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association has always been promoting the Gospel of Jesus Christ," Ken Barun, chief of staff for the association, told CNN in a statement. "We removed the information from the website because we do not wish to participate in a theological debate about something that has become politicized during this campaign."

Religious kook sells out values for access. In other news the sun rises in the east.
Is this the ONLY way?
Drink some more coffee this morning.
How do you get that conclusion from THIS?
Worried more about FREEDOM than SALVATION?
If a Mormon become president, are we going to have to be on suicide prevention watch for you?

I have homework for you 15.
Show me one post where anyone has said they are working to re-elect obama.
Do not include your mind reading conclusions or speculations.
You keep making the charges - prove it.
Do you hate reasoned thought or just reason?
I am so amused by people who complain about what you post, all they have to do is ignore it by not reading the post.
It is important to sometimes post the bile, lies, hate, and misdirection from the official set-in-stone writings of the cult known as the LDS, or Mormon "church."No takers for your THREE MINUTES HATE today, or just a need to dump a little more bile?
I'm always amazed to see posters accuse other posters of posting "bile" and the accusation being towards the one exposing with truth the LDS's writings which are directed towards the takeover of Christianity with false beliefs.
Take note that the LDS belief system teaches that the Mormon "church" is the REPLACEMENT of ALL Christianity.
To them (see official writings in the post you replied to) Christianity is completely false and only Mormonism is true.
ALL their CREEDS were an ABOMINATION in God's sight proclaim the writers/prophets.
If you wish to go to heaven you need to be a Mormon and pass by Joseph Smith when you reach the destination.
Didja get his Saanan?
: > )
You and the rest have been working to discourage conservatives from voting for the one person in this election who has a chance to unseat Obama. That is a fact... what more do I need to prove? Did you bother to watch any of that video?
Do not use your mind reading or your speculations?
You make the charge - prove it.
I’ll give you a test hint, you will lose a letter grade for this: opposition to mormonISM does not relate to supporting obama.
Now prove your charge.
No more than an ass kissing one for you.
Aw...
You STILL think we are trying to get OBAMA re-elected??
Merely because we show the WARTS that MORMONism engenderers on a person's soul?
Your refusal to watch even two minutes of the video that I linked to is proof enough of your intent. I sincerely hope the thirty pieces of silver you are getting from the Obama campaign is worth betraying your friends, the people here, and the greatest country on earth, but most of all the millions of unborn babies that you are condemning to death by horrible means. And if your actions are caused by your hatred of our country’s constitutional right to worship in the way that a man chooses... then that is far worse because it demonstrates only that you are a hateful fool who cares nothing about the consequences of your poorly chosen actions.
I explained to you WHY, and it appears that that is NOT good enough for you; so you ratchet up your vile namecalling and accusations.
Go for it, as it shows YOUR 'intent' more than mine.
IMHO, of course.
Howdy; Ma'am!
We'd like to tell you about the Restored Gospel® sometime...
Keep your eyes tightly shut sweetie and keep ignoring what is going on in the world around you. Keep encouraging your fellow conservatives not to vote for the only man who has a chance to throw Obama out of office. Refuse to listen to or watch anything that might challenge your point of view. That is great advice for people who want to give up all of their freedom and condemn millions of unborn children to a horrific death. But don’t worry we all believe that you are just following God’s word... not!
HMmmm...
