Billy Graham was a modern day example of the New testament Faith. Unlike them private jet gang that feels 150million net Worth is small despite being in a poor underdeveloped nation and having no job apart from pulpit-climbing.

Billy preached in front of approx 250million people in the course of his ministry, convincing the that the way to God was through grace in Jesus Christ and not by work, tithe, or political affiliation...

Something deep within tell's me Mr. Billy had seen Jesus today. Rest in peace pa,

Wasted life who is only known by a virtual moniker with no achievement or fame to his name yet you sit there to criticise a man who has impacted world presidents for good with his purpose and real identity. Yet you claim he is peddling falsehood? The joke is on you wasted martinez19.

Bullshyt.

Billy Graham was surely one of the pioneers and the embodiment of Faith For Profit , mercantilist or commercialized christianity.
Simple proof of that is that he died stupendously wealthy, wealthy from milking faith .

His children, just like any family run business , are lucratively employed in his commercial ministry and have automatically inherited the fortunes of his church empire.

So, kindly do not insult us with that Billy Graham holier than other crap.

There is a special place in hell( I imagine) for those exploit Faith for profit.

Thus, Graham helped bind together a vulnerable nation through religious revival. By glazing over the finer details of Christianity and focusing on more moderate doctrines, Graham made evangelism enticing, non-threatening, even easy—and the media made his messages accessible to the masses.

Another reporter from USA Today writes, "He was the evangelist who did not rip off millions (Jim Bakker) or run with prostitutes (Jimmy Swaggart) or build a megachurch (Joel Osteen) or run for president (Pat Robertson) or run a Christian political lobby (Jerry Falwell)."
Graham's integrity has encouraged millions to heed his spiritual guidance, including Martin Luther King, Jr., Bono, Muhammad Ali and United States presidents from Eisenhower to Bush. He has been rated by the Gallup organization as "One of the Ten Most Admired Men in the World" a staggering 51 times. He is regarded by contemporaries as humorous, non-judgmental, sincere, innocent and accepting

LaudableXX:





Billy Graham touched lives, loved God, led souls to the Lord, worked tirelessly in God's vineyard and gave his best to the propagation of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. May we all receive the grace to do the same, so that Jesus Himself can say: "Well done, thou good and faithful servant," to each of us, just as he has said to Rev. Billy Graham. Can I get an Amen from somebody??

butterflyl1on:
Amen!

plaetton:


Lol.

His biography ?
You're kidding me , right ?

Like you expected his biography to tell us that he , just like many before him and after him ran a global faith scam that netted great wealth to him and his family ?
Like we expected Hitler's biography to have told us that he was such an evil man ?

C'mon !

Perhaps you need to reread my post. What you posted from his so-called biography does not contradict or refute my points.

Did he pioneer and commercialize faith for profit , Yes or No ?
Did he and his family grow very wealthy from his faith business , yes or no ?
Did his children automatically inherit his successful and very lucrative commercial faith enterprise ( aka ministry ) , yes or no ?

Another reporter from USA Today writes, "He was the evangelist who did not rip off millions (Jim Bakker) or run with prostitutes (Jimmy Swaggart) or build a megachurch (Joel Osteen) or run for president (Pat Robertson) or run a Christian political lobby (Jerry Falwell)."

I guess you did not read well or you read but suffered blindness at certain points.

I guess you did not see the same biography take a swipe at other ministers of the gospel. If he messed about I am sure his biography which serves as a chronicle of his life would NOT leave out that part would it? Let me post the part you obviously went blind when you were reading it.





He did not run a faith "business". He preached the gospel when it mattered the most to a people who really really needed it and of course the propagation of the gospel doesnt run on water for fuel but as demands and outreach numbers grow so do the Financial demands required to meet this growth.

He simply grew side by side with his mandate and was blessed alongside it as long as it showed in the increased work and outreach then it was not for profit as it were but based on demand.

He is said to have reached an estimated audience of 250million worldwide in 99 years of his life and 79 years in ministry and based on calculations that would be an average of 3.1 million people preached to every year. That requires money. Money for tracts, television coverage, Bible distribution, personal Crusades and visitations, etc.

Regarding his family who are so few when compared to the 250million or so he personally affected then imagine if each of those 250million people decide to graciously bless him from their heart with 1 dollar each. That would be 250 million dollars which he never solicited for but was given as a free will donation to his cause would you blame him for leaving some for his children and their welfare which even you would do for your own kids?

You speak bullshyte.

plaetton:


My friend, you still don't seem to get it.
You're pretending or simply too blind by your faith, to see my point.

It's silly to say that he did not run a faith scam simply because there were no scandals attached to his name during his church business career.
He was simply smarter, more disciplined and had more self-control than the rest. I will definitely give him credit for that.

Again, that he supposedly reached 250m people or 1 billion people with his message(faith scam) does not in anyway exonerate him from the fact that He ran a faith for profit enterprise.

Now, I you think that people and their families should grow stupendously rich peddling faith, well that's your opinion. Many people, including Christians, would disagree with you.

butterflyl1on:


And I repeat for the sake of purging your corrupted mind that he did not run a "faith for profit" enterprise as your corrupted mind would want to see it.

Calling faith a scam shows how corrupted your mind is and how you wish to peddle your falsehood here. He preached the simple doctrine and message of JOHN 3:16 and was loved for this.

As an evangelist his focus was on Jesus and how Jesus was the answer to any problem anyone had. Simplistic yet powerful.

Keep on lying to yourself. Perhaps if you did so long enough it would become true.
