Billy Graham Nation's Pastor: Are We That Trivial?
Billy Graham is one jokey Pastor, and not one that I admire. I listened to Billy as a Child, my mother made me on Sundays. But I found him to be very superficial and trivial. How did he become so great a Preacher? Is he working for the AntiChrist?
Billy has an Associate of Arts education. His wife was his early mentor but that is not what made him famous. It is his crusade strategy that did it. If he had the Billy Graham Denomination then he would have been dead in the lake. They would have branded him Sheep Thief and he could not have made it. Instead, he worked with all the Ministers in the Cities he visited.
He sort of revived their members; he would admonish them to go back to church, pay a faithful tithe, ask you minister what can you do to help, give him gifts, tell him you are praying for him and his family. Bingo, they will send even their enemy because when they return is with gifts, flowers and tithe in hand.
The Bible say that if you have the truth as Billy tries to say, you must call people out of Babylon, to be separated from them. If his brand was true then all others would be Babylon. But he never baptized a person from another church. The AntiChrist likes that and would support a ministry with important contacts, funds, etc.
He was not a persuader. He would tell tales of his visits to Kings' Palace in Europe, the White House, and other big time influential people. Then he would command them to come down the isle to be baptized. In My mind his biggest stupid saying was "the terrorists of 911 do not know who they missing with"! If he had read history, he would have known that India had attacked the British inside India. And the Preachers in Britain encourage the British Government who responded with untold brutality; worserable that the Indian's attack. The World was critical of those ministers for not counseling restraint. Did his comments encourage or assisted in our response in the Middle East.
Well, look the fiasco today. After 7 years difficult choices. It could bankrupt the World. Poor Billy, we need preachers who are serious scholars and with appropriate aptitude for the Ministry. I noticed many of then were criminals, felons, drug dealers, uneducated what kind of spiritual leadership can they foster. They go to drug rehab and get a half baked religion and declare themselves pastors because they can con and speak fast, with climatic exuberance. They all try at reinventing the wheel; sometimes taking us back to the Middle Ages with their antiquated ideas. Each interprets scripture differently. If they had studied Greek and Hebrew, they all would have the same general interpretation of the Scriptures.
