It also stands in contrast to the message delivered by Graham's father at the National Day of Prayer and Remembrance service at the National Cathedral in Washington, on Sept. 14. "We come together today to affirm our conviction that God cares for us, whatever our ethnic, religious or political background may be," Billy Graham preached. "The Bible says that he is `the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles.'"


They read but do not understand what they read. Indeed God does care for us, for all of mankind. (For God so loved the world, He gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life John 3:16) He came to save all mankind. That He does not differentiate between people is also true. BUT, that does not mean that He approves that man draw near whichever way man may choose or want to.

For that purpose He sent His Son: to provide us of a way that would bring us to Him. Jesus said He is the Way and nobody goes to the Father except through Him. They do not believe so and deny Christ divinity. Instead they worship a moon god that call for hatred, oppression and war. In Christ we receive the truth and as He said the truth (which is Him, for He also said I am the Way, Truth and Life) sets us free. He offers consolation and comfort to all mankind, that does not mean Islam is peaceful and loving.

In fact, see that peace, is what they lack most, and love is yet to be seen in the attacks of 9/11 and in all the persecutions in which they have slaughtered the defenseless and the inocent because of their faith in Christ.

Never mind, they would never understand what they are set in their hearts to reject and I mean the one who wrote this article.

Jesus said He is the Way and nobody goes to the Father except through Him.

And likewise, nobody goes to the Son except that the Father first draw him near! There is a reason that they don't believe.
