    Would you just call every Christian evangelist a charlatan?
    I DENOUNCE DONALD J. TRUMP AND ALL HIS IMMORAL ACTS.

      No, I don't know of them all, some of them are just bonkers.

        That's just silly seer. I know that's what's you conservatives have been fed, and so believe, as if there were no wealthy liberals. But of course, this is about religion, not politics, and so the reason I have a problem with it is because it is unbiblical. In other words these preachers are a bunch of hypocrites, and sadly, their followers, fools.

            This is really inappropriate for this thread - there's an opinion thread elsewhere.
            The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

              And no scandal of any kind, whether it be financial, sexual[1] or whatever. He always insisted that his crusades were publicly audited so as to avoid even a hint of impropriety

                Dear Friend,

                My father, Billy Graham, went into the presence of the Lord on February 21, 2018.

                The Bible tells us in Revelation 14:13: “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord … that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow them” (NKJV).

                Many have said that his death ends an era, but he would be the first to say that when God’s ambassadors die in Christ, the Lord raises up others, because the preaching of the Gospel will go forward until the end of the age.God’s blessing continues as He opens doors for the Gospel around the world. BGEA remains committed to preach the Word in season and out of season across the globe.
                Yes, we will continue the profitable fraud for as long as we live.
                My siblings and I would appreciate your prayers in the days ahead as we honor a man who served the Lord with his life, loved his family, and was always grateful for God’s faithful people who supported him in the work of the ministry in Jesus’ Name.
                Supported him very well indeed.
                As we lay to rest this very public ambassador, please pray with us that the testimony he leaves behind will touch many lives and point them to salvation in Jesus Christ. My father’s journey of faith on earth has ended. He has been reunited with my mother and has stepped into the eternal joy of Heaven in the presence of his Savior, in whom he placed his hope.
                His journey has cetainly ended, like happens to all of us who begin to exist, he's dead.
                If you would like to know more about my father’s life, share a memory, or read public visitation details, please visit BillyGraham.org.
                And please, if you should be moved to donate whatever you can afford to the ministry I would sincerely appreciate it.
                God bless you, and thank you for your prayers for our family and the staff of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
                Sincerely,

                Franklin Graham
                Yes, because your family and staff are in such need of prayers. Poor things.

                  Oh, okay, I suppose you're right. Didn't notice it was memorial garden. Feel free to delete my posts.

                    Dude, get this crap out of this thread. This is a Memorial thread. Show some decency for once.

                                Yeah, I get ya. My problem with his success is that his writing and speaking fees is how he dupes the gullible.
