An Open Letter to Pastor Franklin Graham and the Christian "Watchmen on the Wall" organization.
Pastor Franklin Graham,
First, I have the utmost respect for your father, Rev. Billy Graham.
Second, I am an unapologetic sixty (60) year old Evangelical Christian, who believes in the inerrancy of scripture.
Thirdly ... I stand aghast TODAY at the (I am so sorry to say this) the "abject moral cowardice" of America's Christian churches.
Today ... 29 June 2016 (Monday evening) is the third day since the "Day of Infamy" when the U.S. Supreme Court defecated on America's Judeo-Christian heritage ...
and declared that Sodomite Marriage (as Moses, King David, Christ and Peter and Paul would call it) is legal.
Pastor Franklin Graham, you clearly know the Scriptures, so I will now present a few concise points, which you certainly know are true.
1) Every Good Gift is from God.
2) Every God-given Gift is considered a "Talent" to be wisely invested
3) Christians in Cuba, North Korea and Iran DO NOT have the God-given Gift of "Voting"
4) Christians in The United States of America DO HAVE the God-given Gift of "Voting"
5) Jesus Christ wants American Christians to use the "gift" of voting for Righteous Purposes
6) Jesus Christ wants American Christians to use proper STEWARDSHIP of their God-given right to Vote in America
7) Jesus Christ DOES NOT WANT American Christians to "bury their talent in a hole in the ground" (poor STEWARDSHIP) and either NOT vote at all, or vote for evil leaders who pursue the EVIL of abortion, sodomite marriage, etc.
8) Moses, King David, and Paul would all agree with this simple logic.
9) It is the SPIRITUAL DUTY of American Christians to VOTE AGAINST issues like abortion and sodomite marriage.
10) "Any" declared American Christian Pastor who says otherwise is a flagrant False Prophet.
11) Pastor Franklin Graham, are you a False Prophet ... who claims to be a "Watchman on the Wall" ... and yet refuses to SOUND THE ALARM for American Christians ?
12) Pastor Franklin Graham, King David (as a young man) was blessed by The LORD with using a Slingshot as a DEADLY weapon. Would you agree ?
13) When the evil Goliath appeared and Blasphemed the Holy One of Israel ... did (young) King David (to be) simply call a "Prayer Meeting and Bible Study" ?
14) When the evil Goliath appeared and Blasphemed the Holy One of Israel ... did (young) King David (to be) simply organize a national teleconference in a beautiful air-conditioned Cathedral ?
15) No
16) Young King David (to be) used his GOD-GIVEN GIFTS of using a Slingshot for DEADLY effect to KILL Goliath ... and then cut-off Goliath's head with Goliath's own massive sword.
17) Pastor Franklin Graham ... I believe that The LORD has used this SCOTUS sodomite marriage decision to CHALLENGE American Christians to VOTE -- VOTE -- VOTE.
18) For (politically defeated) American Christians to POLITICALLY DEFEAT those who MOCK Jesus Christ just as Goliath MOCKED The LORD.
19) Should American Christians demonstrate compassion, love, and patience to the Abortionists and Sodomites who attack us, DESTROY our family businesses ?
20) Yes, absolutely, as Jesus Christ commanded ... 70 x 70 x 70.
21) Should American Christians VOTE for RIGHTEOUS LAWS and RIGHTEOUS GOD-FEARING LEADERS ?
22) Yes. Absolutely.
23) Pastor Franklin Graham, should American Christian Pastors LEAD THE CHARGE INTO THIS POLITICAL BATTLE ?
24) Yes. Absolutely.
25) Pastor Franklin Graham ... will you give up your IRS 501-C3 tax-exempt status to FIGHT FREELY against America's FORCES OF POLITICAL EVIL and NATIONAL DESTRUCTION ?
26) Pastor Franklin Graham ... will YOU be the "Watchman on the Wall" that the Prophet Ezekiel called for in Ezekiel Chapter 33 ?
27) Pastor Franklin Graham ... I desperately PRAY that you ... and 100 million American Christians do precisely that.
So ... what does Christ's American Christian Church do in 2016 ?
KEEP Uncle Sam's MONEY ... and Shut-The-Heck-Up about Uncle Sam's evil ways ...
or "SPEAK GOD'S TRUTH without RESERVATION" ...
and TRUST Jesus Christ for the money needed to buy all those bibles for the Christian missionaries to China ?
Muster up the courage to do the free IRS download of "Pamplet P1828" which specifies the legal details of your tax-exempt church's servitude to it's U.S. Government Masters.

I don’t know what point you are attempting to make, but it is lost on me.
Your diatribe against Franklin Graham is evil.
You want people to fight against evil, well maybe you should look in the mirror.
Neither Franklin Graham nor Billy Graham are now or have ever been "pastors".
Secondly, Jesus said his kingdom is not of this world.
You seem to care more about this world than the next.
The ministry of both Grahams has been to preach the gospel to the whole world.
I don't see you doing that. Instead you seem to be preaching against the ministers of God and demanding that they follow your path as political warriors.
I find your hatred of Franklin Graham to be disgusting and vile. He is doing what God has called him to do.
You are doing what you called yourself to do.
obviously your claim of respect is nothing more than empty words.
And add Charles Stanley - First Baptist Atlanta - who condemned the Rescue obedience in 1988 as hundreds of the faithful packed the jails.
I have no idea what you are trying to say to him. I'm sure your point would be lost on him as well
What exactly would you have him do? Sling a rock at the head of Anthony Kennedy?
Franklin Graham is doing what God has called him to do. You are in no position to condemn him.
He is not a pastor.
The bishops then studiously ignored all entreaties to answer a few simple moral questions, like: Is it a mortal sin when the police remove obstacles from abortion clinic doors? The obvious answer is Yes.
They do the same thing now, when it comes to Communion-for-Pelosi. They repeat formulas like, “The Eucharist should not be used as a weapon,” and “The bishops must not be seen as beating up on one political party.” They don’t even THINK in the categories or terms of moral theology. To them, moral theology is just stuff they had to pass examinations in in the seminary. It’s not about REAL life.
The vast majority of bishops WANTED the job, and angled for it from before their ordination as priests. The guys everybody knew, in the seminary, wanted to be bishops, are. Only a few are REALLY surprised when they get the phone call from the Nuncio. From their behavior, it is obvious that they wanted to bishops in order to be ABOVE ALL LAW—Canon Law, the moral law, liturgical law, divine law—you name it.
