CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Billy Graham is a sign unto us. I knew that a long time ago. When his mother was dying, here words to him were "Preach the Gospel son." His response was, I'll do it, I;ll do it until Jesus comes." When I heard him testifying to this, the Holy Spirit jumped in my heart, and the Lord said ":he is your sign":. I don't usually share this story with people because people do not believe God speaks to people today. But, I decided today to share it with you. I had as a confirmation of a youtube video that I stumbled upon where another Christian shared the same thing was revealed to him. I will try to find that video and post it.
What does it mean that he is a sign? Well I think God will allow is to know seasons. And I hope Billy Graham lives a good long time. But, when he dies as all men do,I think we should start really looking for Lord Jesus to appear. I say that rather tongue in cheek, because I do not really know what it means. I can only say what I think it means. I don't mind being wrong, but I do hope to see Lord Jesus soon..

It's not for me to say he does or doesn't belong to God (one of the elect). He will be judged more harshly if he is teaching a false gospel. There is a lot of video footage available documenting some of his questionable assertions.

Well Billy is now 93 so he won't be lasting to much longer, bless his soul. So you might not have to wait to long. But then again, he could live another 5+ years....only the Lord knows for sure.

I would say that Mr. Graham appeared to drift toward a One World Religion, which makes me wonder, who his allegiance is actually to. I know this is not going to win me any popularity contest, but I value God's judgment of me, much more that man's.

His "...questionable assertions" are questionable only to those who do not understand what Jesus is saying when He says "I am the way, the truth and the life" or "No man comes to the father except by me". What He is saying is that people can be saved only because of what He has done. There are people around the world who are saved and will be saved without ever hearing the Name of Jesus (Rom. 1:18 - 20). But they are saved only because of what He has done.

The questionable assertions are only understood, if you understand the people behind the NWO; that this same group who made Graham famous, also could have just as easily broke Graham, if he did not co-operate with their agenda.

Blessings to you.....in Jesus.....I pray
I am lost for words to think the the ministry of Rev Graham could ever be challenged, having preached the gospel to more than any other in history. And with more converts to Jesus that all mortal men who have drawn breath......
God ble ss Rev Graham. I bow to him in Jesus

You bow to Billy Graham, that's idol worship.
"Sometimes we are inclined to think that a very great portion of modern revivalism has been more a curse than a blessing, because it has led thousands to a kind of peace before they have known their misery; restoring the prodigal to the Father's house, and never making him say, 'Father, I have sinned.' How can he be healed who is not sick? or he be satisfied with the bread of life who is not hungry? The old-fashioned sense of sin is despised, and consequently a religion is run up before the foundations are dug out. Everything in this age is shallow. Deep-sea fishing is almost an extinct business so far as men's souls are concerned. The consequence is that men leap into religion, and then leap out again. Unhumbled they come to the church, unhumbled they remained in it, and unhumbled they go from it."
Charles H Spurgeon (1882)

The only person the scriptures says, we are to bow to, is Christ Jesus.
II Thessalonians 2:10 - 12
10And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

The act of bowing as a matter of respect to others is not prohibited by Scripture. Actors bow after every performance. People of many cultures bow to their leaders as a matter of respect or honor. None of that is worship. Your attempt to prove someone is worshiping another by using the phrase "I bow to..." is ludicrous.

No what's ludicrous is your assertion, that it's not a form of blasphemy, to say they bow to Billy Graham in Jesus.
My only attempt here was to exert, that the elevation of Billy Graham by a very unscrupulous group, only goes to give Christianity a worse name than it has already got, and then for people to support this same group is just ignorance.

That's not what Billy Graham is saying. He is saying Jesus is not the only way. Even his son, Franklin, is saying that Billy's message now is consistent with his teaching in the 1960's. It's all available for viewing on youtube if you do some digging. Or, there have been other threads on this very subject on this forum if you prefer.

Billy Graham is an awesome man of God, anyone who says otherwise is doing the devils work for him.
just go on youtube and watch some of his more famous sermons from the last 60 YEARS. He is a man of great understanding and like all great men, faithless people misunderstand and twist his words given the opportunity.

Oh well then, if it's on YouTube it MUST be true. LOL As I said name the group and show your proof. Otherwise stop trying to turn an urban legend into a truth. Dr. Graham has spent his life spreading the Gospel we have all been told to preach. Some, for their own reasons, may twist what he says because they don't understand what he is saying but he has done nothing but spread God's truth to a lost world.
