“ Into the Fire With Them All ” That is what the Lord Jesus would say. Into the fire with them.
Folks need to realize that it is the Risen Lord that is documented in the first three chapters of the Revelation. The King.

“ Great Sermon! ” 1) The question is not the translation but the manuscripts. The modern versions are a) From, or highly influenced by, corrupt manuscripts and b) Usually paraphrases -ie man's idea of what God was trying to say rather than word for word.
2) It is worth reading about the excellence of the team which produced the Authorised Version (known in America as the KJV) . . . that gives some perspective on snipers who, on the basis of 5 minutes in a Greek dictionary, think they can do a better job.
“ Prolife? ” The heartbeat bill denies science. We can know the baby is alive even before his heart beats (for example he is growing and mommy's hormone levels) The heartbeat bill denies God's word. Genesis 9:6 "Whoever sheds man's blood, By man his blood shall be shed, For in the image of God He made man." God says do not kill humans because they bear My image. God's image is a part of who we are from conception. Preborn babies should be protected because they bear the image of God, not because we can hear their heart beat.
“ Alternative view ” This particular case is not helped by the hyperbole delivered by this broadcaster, who clearly has a personal axe to grind regarding increasing government 'interference' in the lives of people. Then again, that's the nature of government - to make laws, about which people often object to, sometimes rightly, sometimes not.
The boy, Alfie, had an incurable brain disease, a disease which had largely destroyed that brain. The boy was being kept alive by a ventilator, which the doctors decided should be switched off because, in their professional view, it was pointless and cruel to keep the boy alive by that means. The Law, in Britain, supports the doctors who are presumed to be acting in the best interests of the patient, in this case, the boy, Alfie. The Law, in acting for the best interests of the child, decided death was preferable to keeping the child alive with no hope of recovery. The parents disagreed, as many parents would, but that would not, necessarily, be in the best interests of their child. In fact, their love could get in the way of doing what's best for Alfie, even to let him die.
Of course, there was no valid reason, in my view, for the judge to rule that the parents wouldn't be allowed to take the boy to Italy for further treatment but that is another issue
“ Star Wars: Tales of Pantheism ” The central theme of Star Wars is what is known as "The Force," a pantheistic entity collectively connected to all living things. While Star Wars may appear artistically creative on the surface, the stories are laden with pantheism. This was clearly admitted by even the likes of George Lucas. The general assumption of the Star Wars stories is that the "good psychic powers" practiced by the "heroes" always defeats the "bad psychic powers" practiced by the "villains."
As of now, the mythical Star Wars Universe is known under the common ownership of Disney. Most of us are aware that Disney makes many productions with superficially high artistic quality, but are rooted in the occult. Indeed, the force of Star Wars is strong with the Disney company, but it is the force of mythical pantheism.
Never forget the wise warnings about the occult in Deuteronomy 18:10-12.
“ Great Sermon! ” I've heard about Barbara bush, and Alistair Crowley.. (IMO one of the people behind the british going nutty in late 60s, and American following them.
(similar to bush, being in the CIA letting DRUGS into the US MAINSTREAM around the same time...)
urban legend.....?
“ The Bushes Interesting Family Legacy! ” Thanks for talking about the Pro-Planned Parenthood family legacy of the Bushes & the outright support/soft support for abortions.
“ Great Sermon! ” Are not these stats of dwindling numbers of church attendance more indicative of judgment and where God is leadimg us? In this case, wouldnt certain churches be losimg membership where the Word of God is more purely taught? Afterall, the mega churches are'nt losing members are they? God bless you. J.
“ This is a surprise ” It seems there are a lot of good things which can be said about Billy Graham but how much leaven does it take to spoil the whole lump? It seems he taught that doctrine is not important and that we can ignore Bible teaching if we want but God says: Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. (II John 1:9)
I have often listened to you K.S., have bought some of your books and have passed on links to your audio for a long time now and can hardly believe that the person I thought was a steadfast bastion of truth has folded and can eulogise a heretic - a destroyer.
Does it not set alarm bells ringing when you hear everyone speaking well of him? Does it not bring to mind the warning from Jesus: Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. (Luke 6:26) ? - and what about Paul's warning re "another gospel" and what about his warning re false teachers and his warning about Satan's ministers being transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works?
“ 'A Careful and Balanced Summary'? ” I agree with most of the other commenters that Billy Graham was an ecumenist. Additionally, Mr. Graham seemed not to acknowledge the persecution of Christians in 20th century China and Russia. Sadly, his trajectory was downward, not upward, through the course of his lifetime. Greg Miller (also on SermonAudio) has a well-researched message on Mr. Graham.
“ Hmm ” I am glad to see posts of people who see Mr. Graham's false teaching for what it was. I agree and just realized that he was the biggest problem of Evangelcalism and the father or front man for ecumenism in US. He was a superstar and had stadiums full and many people coming forward to ask Jesus into their hearts. That is why he is propped up. He taught easy believe-ism. He said Pope John Paul II is with The Lord. Ms. Brenda the broadcast paid tribute to an Ecumenist who claimed people could die and go to heaven without hearing the gospel. That means that preachers aren't needed and Pastors should give up the ministry and do something else since they are not needed. Why did Mr. Graham "preach" if it wasn't necessary? Why do mission work? Why jeopardize your life and health in remote areas when the folks will get to heaven anyway? Acts chapter 10 says how will they be saved without a preacher? Paul wasted his time being beat and put in prison if the pagan Romans through light if creation would be saved whether they were conscious of it or not. By default everyone gets to heaven at the end of the day. We are a celebrity drunk culture. Mr. Graham was a religious celebrity who by default of his universalism taught there are many roads to heaven.
“ Ineteresting but ” I echo the above comment as Billy Graham is possibly the main cause of the evangelical downgrade into ecumenical easy believism when you look at churches that followed the BG model from the 70's and look at the same today. BG claims that the Pope (the Antichrist according to our Reformed confessions) was a great evangelist and in heaven...REALLY? BG used men like pop star Cliff Richard-a convert in his campaigns. Cliff lives with a male former RC and believes JW's go to heaven??? It isn't hard to see where the BG influence fits when 'converts' are sent back to Rome and then even the famous convert friends like Cliff are rank ecumenists from day one. We shouldn't whitewash ecumenists, but expose how dangerous their influence is. Evangelical America today is in such a state because of the BG model. Think about it. Easy believism and ecumenism. Weak semi-pelagianism and arminianism that Arminius himself would be ashamed to own. This is looking from the outside in, from UK, at the Evangelical goldfish bowl of America where certain fish seem to be floating on the top of the water rather than swimming. Is it poison in the fishfood? Or are they plastic fish, that look like real fish ... from a distance?? Plastic fish never swim against the tide of ecumenism/apostasy.
“ Great Sermon! ” Actually, this was a careful critique of Graham's doctrine of salvation in the second half of the program, contrasting Graham's writings with Scripture. Refreshing to find love that hopes all things, carefulness, and respectfulness like this, especially on the passing of this evangelical leader.
“ Great Sermon! ” I must say that I have profited to some extent from the Generations ministry. This, however is a very weak point in this ministry. As far back as 1978 Billy Graham stated that he used to believe that pagans in a far away nation would perish if they didn't hear the gospel, and he no longer believes that. That was 40 years ago that he said that. Later, of course he reiterated that sentiment on the Robert Schuler Show and the Larry King Show. Graham's open fellowship with, promotion of, and bidding "God speed" to the likes of heretics like John Bonnell, Archbishop Micheal Ramsey, Norman Vincent Peale and the Pope does not seem to bother the folks at Generations Radio one iota. And Billy Graham, persecuted?? The same Billy Graham that was puff pieced to death by all of the publications owned by William Randolph Hearst at the beginning of his "crusades" back in the 1950's?? That is hardly the case..
The world loved Billy Graham because he was so "tolerant." It broke my heart to find out that he had passed because for years I had been praying that he would publicly repent of his ecumenical unfaithfulness to the very Word he preached. He didn't. Sorry, but I am not confident that he is with the Lord, no matter what anyone else says, including Kevin Swanson.
