Leading Apostate to Visit Ohio

Billy Graham will bring his apostate road-show to Cincinnati, Ohio, June 27-30. On the front page of the official Billy Graham Evangelistic Association website for this event, www.cincymission.org, Graham is quoted as follows:

"I pray God's forgiveness and healing will touch the hearts of many, bringing them to faith in Christ (ED. NOTE - sounds good so far, but, see how it ends) and unity with brothers and sisters of ALL races, CREEDS, AND, DENOMINATIONS." (Emphasis mine).

Wow! According to Graham, I have brothers and sisters in ALL CREEDS AND DENOMINATIONS. Therefore, I must have brothers and sisters in Christ who are Hindus, Buddhists, Moslems, Animists, Witch Doctors, Unitarians, and Mormons, not to mention wafer-worshipping Catholics! Does this mean it would be all right for me to become a Buddhist, and still say I believe in a "Jesus?" This is why in my title I called Graham an "apostate" and not just a compromiser.

I had to learn about the heavy Catholic participation in this event from the Archdiocese of Cincinnati newspaper, 'The Telegraph,' in a May 10 article titled, "On a Crusade for Evangelism, Thousands of Catholics Expected to Attend Billy Graham Mission." By the way, the Graham website deliberately avoids mention of the deep Catholic involvement planned. A few informational notes:

1. Graham's "Christian Life and Witness" courses were held at four Catholic sites. At three churches - "Our Lady of Lourdes," "Our Lady of the Rosary," and "Guardian Angels." And fourthly, at the Catholic "Trinity Center" in Dayton. These are the courses for those who wish to be down on the field and "counsel" those who have come forward. I can only conclude Billy thinks its okay for wafer-worshippers to be "counselors." I wonder if they will be allowed to distribute the Roman eucharist down on the field?

2. So far, 362 Catholics from 64 parishes have taken this course. The number will probably go up because the "Catholic Men's Fellowship has sent out a mailing to 9,000 Catholic men requesting they participate in the course."

All the above shows that Graham's preaching and materials must be so bland that it does not offend those who think Catholic priests can command Jesus to turn Himself into a wafer. That such priests can also forgive sins, keep souls in or out of a "purgatory," and be allowed to continue enjoying sexual relations with Catholic youth.

Keep the above quote from Graham in mind for the rest of your life, and pray the Lord makes plain for all to see the apostasy of Billy Graham.
