Biblical man, if you keep this up I might have to send you a Christmas card this year… this is 🔥🔥🔥💯🎯 truth.
Even my kids don’t think we will see Billy in heaven due to the confluence with Buddhism, Hinduism and every other ism that he said would lead to God. Disgusting…
At least he understood the truth about the synagogue of satan regarding the imposter “Jews” in false “Israel”. Listening to his conversations with president Nixon in the Oval Office on archive.gov and them talking about the stranglehold they have on America is very interesting… worth every minute of your time. Remember…look at the fruit always.
Excellent exhibition of little understood truth. On one point I believe the criticism of the altar call too easily dismisses the act as, while not salvation, a potential first step towards it. The same might be said of baptism and even something as simple as a show of hands. The Lord meets people in a wide variety of ways and circumstances, we are wise to not reject or inhibit His face to face with the lost individual.
Agreed, the church I attend does an altar call every service. My opinion is that it’s better than nothing BUT while they are all up front there better be some further explanation rather than just let them leave thinking they checked off their list and done…
I humbly admit, I did not know any of this about Billy Graham. But I do suspect he could be considered part of a process of bringing people back to God, or back to Christ even, as a first albeit shallow step on the road to salvation.
My dad went forward at a Billy Graham rally when I was about five - and I do not for that reason try to sweep Graham's later problems under the rug. As far as I can tell, the above comments are fully accurate. Yet, we should not forget Graham's early years, when (I believe) he was used of God. I say this not because of my dad, but because of the early Graham's basic salvation message.
Let us also take heed lest we fall (I Corinthians 10:12). Peter himself got tangled up in false doctrine.
Also, the TRUE gospel demands more than just these four points, as stated above.
- Belief in Jesus as the ONLY way of salvation
- Genuine repentance from sin
- Rejection of all false means of salvation
- Trust in Christ alone, not in works
Christ taught in Matthew 28, "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you."
The gospel therefore includes not only salvation, but also walking with God after salvation. Dying to self, taking up the cross, walking by faith in the straight in narrow way, the consolations of Christ, the blessings of sanctification and holiness: these, too are part of the gospel.
Thank you so much! I always thought something was off with him. I don't like that Franklin Graham was pushing the covid clot shot either. I don't trust him either.
Graham was right. The CatholicChurch is right. God can save anyone, anywhere, who seeks Him, through Jesus Christ. God is all powerful. And that is not universalism.
I personally am grateful that we know it is only the Holy Spirit Himself who saves. We are called to faithful sowing and watering. I can’t judge Dr. Graham, but I’ll bet he sowed an awful lot of seed that did go on to be fruitful. He was also a sinner in need of a Savior. Only God knows hearts. It’s our own responsibility to move from hearing to pursuing and knowing the Truth, and to stay faithful to that Truth. We don’t follow Apollo or Paul or Billy Graham. We follow the True God alone.
I have understood this for years about Graham and even wrote an article about it. Don’t be fooled, he really was a wolf in sheep’s clothing as the Bible warns us to look out for.
I have known this about Billy Graham and have heard of only a few others that have spoke up about his false doctrine and his promotion of One world religion. Thank you. I enjoy reading your Substack every day! Keep speaking TRUTH 🙏🏼
This hit hard. I was raised by a mother faithful to Graham’s ‘teachings’ but absolutely knowledgeable about “works” not being a substitute for belief & repentance for salvation through Christ the Redeemer. I am thankful I was raised to know the difference even if I struggle living it daily in this fallen world.

The truth will always set you free!

I too was unaware of this side to Billy Graham 😳
I think his own words are fitting here…”inoculation” he would use to describe how people are sidelined by a false gospel. Ironic indeed…

Straight up truth is what we need. Many Billy Graham's running around today. Thanks for reminding us of the importance of bearing fruit!
Thank you.
Amen, brother. Thank you for pointing these glaring realities of the Late Billy Graham.
Thank you so much! I always thought something was off with him. I don't like that Franklin Graham was pushing the covid clot shot either. I don't trust him either.
Also a Freemason

SHOCKED is all I can say. Never followed Graham much but thought him to be a staunch conservative evangelical. SHOCKED.
