They are coming down hard on the Reverend Billy Graham. “They” meaning the anti Mormons, and they are legion:
The deceivers are attacking Billy Graham and his faith by distorting his political statement, into his abandoning Christ.
“”ASHEVILLE — The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association said today that it removed language from its website calling Mormonism a cult to avoid controversy.
The website article had listed as cults “Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormons, the Unification Church, Unitarians, Spiritists, Scientologists, and others.”
“We removed the information from the website because we do not wish to participate in a theological debate about something that has become politicized during this campaign,” Ken Barun, chief of staff for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
Franklin Graham serves as chief executive officer for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, and he questioned Romney’s Mormon faith earlier this year.
Pressed during an interview on MSNBC, Graham would not say Romney is a Christian.
“He is a Mormon,” Franklin Graham said in February. “Most Christians would not recognize Mormonism ... but he would be a good president if he won the nomination.”””
