UK urged to deny entry to pro-Trump preacher who claims gay people ‘steal children’
Pink news UK ^ | 20th September 2018 | Nick Duffy

UK Home Secretary Sajid Javid has been urged to block a visit from a US preacher who claims that gay people ‘steal children.’ Franklin Graham, the head of Christian charity Samaritan’s Purse, and the son of evangelical preacher Billy Graham, is set to visit the UK this weekend to attend the Lancashire Festival of Hope event in Blackpool.  His presence has been sharply criticised by local figures due to Graham’s archaic views.

Graham, who has close ties to the Trump administration and preached at his inauguration, has previously praised Vladimir Putin’s anti-gay laws and told crowds in Russia that homosexuals “take people’s children.” He has also claimed there had been a “moral 9/11” in America due to homosexuals and has declared that gay people are “the enemy” of civilisation. Blackpool South MP Gordon Marsden raised Graham’s views in a letter to Javid, warning his public comments are incompatible with UK hate speech laws. In a letter shared with the Blackpool Gazette, the Labour MP said: “I have had a number of constituents, including local clergy and other faith leaders, who were alarmed and appalled by the derogatory and inflammatory views that Franklin Graham has expressed towards Muslims, members of the LGBT community and others. “Blackpool welcomes every year millions of visitors of all faiths and none, as well as diverse families, members of the LGBT community and many different nationalities. Our residential community is similarly diverse. “I’m therefore asking the Home Secretary to urgently consider stopping any further escalation of tension and hurt towards the groups he continues to attack in his preaching by barring his ability to speak at the Winter Gardens.”

Since liberals tend to lie a lot, unless I see videos of it, I don’t believe it.

Funny, Graham probably would welcome any of those who appose him to come to his church and hear the Gospel...

Graham’s archaic views...

It's in the BOOK. That's the way it will be.

Ban people from UK until they relent. Figure that will last a few hours, a day or two at most. Respect us and our citizens or stay home.

Yep he is a truth teller but also someone who doesnt let his own persona or opinions trump the simple message of the Gospel. I imagine a creative interpretation of something he said to make the general British idiot incredulous at his coming. In other words they will be lying! How far England has fallen.

may Father God defend and prepare the way for His preacher to deliver His Holy Word of Truth, His beautiful, soul-saving Gospel to all the Spirit deprived, hopeless, blind and misled heathen in the EUSSR. Thank You for all You do for us believers and Bless You Lord for sending us daring and faithful servants like Franklin. keep him safe. asking this for Jesus sake. Amen.

Child Evangelism Fellowship, a para-church Christian ministry, has targeted preteen children for conversion as long as I can remember; and that means at least since the early 1940s if not before. p>
Is this something a child’s parents or his/her church home desired? This needs some careful consideration, does it not?

Wonder how these morons would react if Franklin Graham did what the Lord said to do when people do not want to hear the Word: shake the dust from his feet in a very public manner, then leave.

If they do not repent, the judgment against them will be an exceptionally severe one.

That had to do with offering the literal kingdom to Jews, which the leaders refused. After the Cross, the evangelical attitude was quite different, according to the actions of Paul the Apostle in and about Antioch of Pisidia, Lystra, and Derbe.
