From Rev. Franklin Graham:
My Response to Christianity Today’s Call for President Donald Trump’s removal from office:
Christianity Today released an editorial stating that President Trump should be removed from office—and they invoked my father’s name (I suppose to try to bring legitimacy to their statements), so I feel it is important for me to respond. Yes, my father Billy Graham founded Christianity Today; but no, he would not agree with their opinion piece. In fact, he would be very disappointed. I have not previously shared who my father voted for in the past election, but because of this article, I feel it is necessary to share it now. My father knew Donald Trump, he believed in Donald Trump, and he voted for Donald Trump. He believed that Donald J. Trump was the man for this hour in history for our nation.
For Christianity Today to side with the Democrat Party in a totally partisan attack on the President of the United States is unfathomable. Christianity Today failed to acknowledge that not one single Republican voted with the Democrats to impeach the President. I know a number of Republicans in Congress, and many of them are strong Christians. If the President were guilty of what the Democrats claimed, these Republicans would have joined with the Democrats to impeach him. But the Democrats were not even unanimous—two voted against impeachment and one voted present. This impeachment was politically motivated, 100% partisan. Why would Christianity Today choose to take the side of the Democrat left whose only goal is to discredit and smear the name of a sitting president? They want readers to believe the Democrat leadership rather than believe the President of the United States.
Look at all the President has accomplished in a very short time. The economy of our nation is the strongest it has been in 50 years, ISIS & the caliphate have been defeated, and the President has renegotiated trade deals to benefit all Americans. The list of accomplishments is long, but for me as a Christian, the fact that he is the most pro-life president in modern history is extremely important—and Christianity Today wants us to ignore that, to say it doesn’t count? The President has been a staunch defender of religious freedom at home and around the world—and Christianity Today wants us to ignore that? Also the President has appointed conservative judges in record number—and Christianity today wants us to ignore that? Christianity Today feels he should be removed from office because of false accusations that the President emphatically denies.
Christianity Today said it’s time to call a spade a spade. The spade is this—Christianity Today has been used by the left for their political agenda. It’s obvious that Christianity Today has moved to the left and is representing the elitist liberal wing of evangelicalism.
Is President Trump guilty of sin? Of course he is, as were all past presidents and as each one of us are, including myself. Therefore, let’s pray for the President as he continues to lead the affairs of our nation.
Amen.
Thank you RevGraham!
Well that didn’t take long for the right person to respond....
This is what happens when you die and leave something behind.
Good for him.
CT had no business invoking Billy Graham’s name to support their position as if he would agree with them. They cannot speak for him and Franklin has every right to go after them.
Lawsuit for invoking Rev. Billy Graham’s name in this lie.
“Churchianity Today.” Of the 17 candidates running for President only one is Pro-Life and that is Donald Trump..
That foul magazine can go straight to hell,
<< Mark Galli, the editor-in-chief of Christianity Today, asserted Thursday that Trump’s July 25 phone call to the Ukrainian president was “profoundly immoral” and that the case against him was “unambiguous.” >>
What a delusional nutcase. Does Galli have problem with Quid Pro Joe threatening the former Ukrainian President that hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars would be withheld if he didn’t fire the prosecutor who was going after the corrupt company that employed Hunter Biden? And with QP Joe publicly bragging about it after it happened? Or with QP Joe’s boss Obama bypassing congress and sending $1.8 billion in U.S. taxpayer cash to Iran? Or with Obama weaponizing the CIA, FBI, DOJ, and IRS to go after his political opponents? Or with countless other crimes committed by Deep State operatives? I’m guessing not.
According to Wiki, Mark Galli, the editor-in-chief of Christianity Today, is an Anglican. I’m not sure the Anglican church has much connection to evangelicals. Most of the evangelicals I know believe the Anglican church has left the faith.
How he thinks he can lecture evangelicals on how to vote morally is beyond me. Good on Graham for taking him on.
I don’t subscribe to CT, but if I did, I would cancel it immediately because of their liberal bias.
Christianity Today is nothing more than the Zealots in the temple selling salvation.
Have subscribed to "World" magazine (Marvin Olasky's publication) ever since.
Highly recommend "World".
I think Christianity Today has just thrown their principles to the wind in order to get Mike Pence in the White House.
Into the schools you must go my children, even the theological schools. It may take you generations but slowly you will subvert the populace from their beliefs to ours, said Marx to his “children”.
I have now doubt at all that along the way the writer of the piece in Christianity today was “educated” by persons who had been “educated” by persons who had been “educated” by Leftists.
Many actual Leftists today have never even thought of themselves as Leftists because their indoctrination, their indoctrinators, never identified the Leftist roots of what they were being told to believe.
Excellent delivery of a much-needed smackdown. I would not be surprised to see CT endorse the pious Booty-gig for president.
Mark Galli will likely be looking for a job if circulation numbers plunge.
‘Christianity Today’ has been going down the tubes for years. I stopped reading it years ago.
The article clearly shows why there are 187 different kinds of Baptists. To bea a Baptist, you must find something relatively obscure and then leave and start a new congregation
