Koresh is dead, Osteen doesn't even claim to teach the Bible, JWs have their own version of the Bible and even it condemns their false teachings. Billy Graham isn't in the same orbit as those guys you keep tossing out like they were some kind of silly talisman to ward off the correction that you sorely need. He teaches the actual truth of the Bible and is why God has used him to reach millions around the world for Christ. Maybe if you could step back a bit from defending Rome at all cost - to the point sometimes of ridiculousness - you just might come to understand that truth is truth because it comes from GOD. It is revealed and illuminated in the hearts of those who diligently seek Him.

Let’s look at the above claim.

David Koresh: demanded unconditional loyalty and servitude from his followers. They followed Koresh to the death. They believed he represented Jesus on earth. A sort of vicar if you will. Sounds familiar. We could ask Koresh but he’s dead along with his followers who believed he alone had the truth and was infallible.

Joel Osteen: preaches from a lavish large building to an adoring crowd. How much does it cost to run the Vatican? All those adoring crowds.

Jehovah’s witnesses: weren’t they the Arians the Catholics say were eradicated in the 5th century? The same ones who come on FR from time to time spout their heresy, are then engaged by Prots and Evangelicals with scripture truth and then they run off. Noting few to no RCs engage in the discussion and when they do assert one cannot evidence the deity of Christ by merely using scriptures but must instead believe the creeds. Quite amazing.
