She made clear to me that she is not speaking for her grandfather, the famous evangelist who died in 2018. But she added: I think he would be sad. I think his greatest desire had nothing to do with policies but to introduce people to a loving Jesus, and the division this administration has caused I believe has hurt this effort.
In one sense, Duford is an outlier. About 8 of 10 white evangelicals voted for Donald Trump in 2016, and polling suggests that the great majority will vote for him again in 2020. But Duford is part of a broader movement among some evangelical leaders to distance their faith from Trump, which in turn means interpreting pro-life in a broader way. In a sign that some evangelical voters are in play this year, the Biden campaign is advertising heavily on Christian radio stations.
Liberal relative gave me this article because she knows I am evangelical and pro-life and a very strong supporter of President Trump.
Responses?
Yawn. Another Jezebel.
The “broader way.” Indeed. And where does that lead, exactly?

Need I say more?
There is this false idea that real virtue is a kind of bland niceness and any type of strength is a vice.
Sorry but it’s patently obvious you can’t be Pro-Life and vote for a Dem! It friggn unbelieveable that she would vote for a party that allows the MURDER of a just born Child via a botched abortion as in NY! Sorry but she is nothing but Lying DIRT!
Biden will be to Christianity as the Roman Emperor Diocletian was.
Did the "Jesus we serve" overturn the money-changers' tables? Did he refer to his theological opponents as "hypocrites" or "brood of vipers" or "liars like their father, Satan" or "Dogs" or "fools"? The Jesus of the Bible did. Those actions don't exactly align with the Jesus you've created in your mind.
More proof that liberalism, while mostly just a mental illness, can sometimes be indicative of satanic possession.
When Biden cusses out voters for asking questions is that considered “kindness and dignity”?
>interpreting pro-life in a broader way
Like being pro-death if your guy says anything you find mean or icky.
It is amazing to me that anyone who claims to be pro-life and a Republican would vote for communism and the culture of death!
Could it be that she is ignorant of the Democrat platform? Or is she blinded by hate?
She’s a damn fool.
I think no less of Jerry Falwell, Jr. than I do her.
Why can't I be my own Pope and decide just what Christ should mean to ME - and decide for myself what scriptures I will accept- and those I will reject?
Jesus loves nipple pinchers? Who knew?
Being related to the great Rev. Billy Graham is not an automatic ticket to heaven, nor is it a license to sin.
Coral Ridge found that out the hard way. (I was there)
Hijacking religion for votes he did away with the Johnson amendment THE FIRST POTUS to EVER attend the Right to Life rally IN PERSON!!! GET A LIFE!! She has been brainwashed by her liberal friends!! What a shame her grandfather is turning over in his grave!!!
She is voting for a party in which the pro-life position is not tolerated. See soon-to-be former Congressman Dan Lipinski (D-IL). I can’t believe pro-life is a serious issue for her.
I am of the opinion that one can not assume the self lable of “pro-life” and vote democrat.
The Left is really scared.
Only shear terror would have the NYT talking with anyone from Billy Graham.
