Confronting Darkness

Billy Graham's Apostasy

After Joel Osteen denied that Jesus is the only way to be saved before a national audience on "Larry King Live" last year, now Billy Graham in the Newsweek Magazine article "Pilgrim’s Progress" shockingly does the same thing.

"When asked whether he believes heaven will be closed to good Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus or secular people... Graham says: 'Those are decisions only the Lord will make. It would be foolish for me to speculate on who will be there and who won't ... I don't want to speculate about all that. I believe the love of God is absolute. He said he gave his son for the whole world, and I think he loves everybody regardless of what label they have.'"

This is a blatent denial of Jesus Christ and His Word that He is the only way by which men can be saved.

In addition to all of the Scripture references quoted in the World Net Daily article "Billy Graham's Apostasy", one that stands out in stark contrast to Mr. Graham's apostate claim is this:

"He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life." 1 John 5:10-12

Billy Graham has made God a liar. This reveals just how far the nominal church has fallen in apostasy and denial of Jesus Christ. There are no doubt, many unbelievers and even so-called "believers" who will be duped by Mr. Graham's lie. But those who truly belong to the Lord Jesus Christ - members of the true Church - know the truth and will hold to the Word of God over and above any man's word regardless of who he is. Billy Graham needs our prayers - how far he has fallen - God have mercy on him!
