Graham....I have a feeling your son had more to do with this than the elder Graham.Nah, Billy Graham has publicly stated several times that he believes people don't need to hear about Jesus to be saved (most prominently at the Chrystal Cathedral) so this is just another step for him. Read Iain Murray's Evangelicalism Divided to learn a bit more about that and the overall shift in Evangelicalism from 1950-2000.![]()

During a recent interview with CNN, Franklin Graham, son of Billy Graham and president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA), advised that a page that was removed from the ministry website last month following Graham’s endorsement of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, which classified Mormonism as a cult, is “not going to come back.”What the heck is happening to these people? This is why the local church is so important and should always take priority over these big ministries.
“I was shocked that we even had that on there,” Franklin Graham said. “[W]e’re calling people names. If I want to win people to Christ, how can I call them names?”
“So, we just took it off,” he continued, insinuating that he made the final decision in the matter. “And it’s not going to come back, because I don’t want to be involved in calling a person a name.”
BGEA Media Relations Director Brent Reinhart confirmed to Christian News Network that Franklin Graham was the ultimate decider in the removal of the web page.
I hate you Merry Christmas :D :lol: May[…]
