Rev. Franklin Graham says the country has a SIN PROBLEM. When asked if Trump has a SIN PROBLEM he equivocated. Why?
He said Trump is not perfect. No one is. But he appreciates how much Trump cares about religious folk. SIGH. This is a moral leader? Avoid the issue and making excuses. How the religious have fallen. Down so low they can't go any downer.
Although I'm from a different denomination from Rev Graham, I respect him, especially for the vast humanitarian work he's done worldwide. I find that Graham's basic theology lines up with my own. Yes, the nation has rejected God. So many of our problems are symptomatic of that rejection across the board. God will always have a universal church and in that church will be those who trust Him and believe in His word. We cannot expect God's continued blessing on this nation until we seek His mercy through repentance. Anything that creates a barrier between God and man is in effect, sin. Love, grace and mercy abound for those who wish to draw closer to God, but to live in rebellion is a gamble that's not advisable. Those nations and empires in the past that chose to test God's judgement, found it. We won't be any different.
They all are showing why they need the President's favor by every fake word of praise. They are nothing people who would have no place in this white house if it were not for Trump. When he hands them a pink slip, they are in essence, finished. Most of them. The crooks and cowards, which comprise 90 percent of his choices.
I think you are being very generous and kind Sharon when you say "90%". I'm thinking more like 100%. Why would any moral person with a smidge of character/integrity work for doofus don? Thank you for your reply and Happy Sunday! :)
Franklin Graham has spent his entire adult life riding the coattails of his father’s notoriety, and it may be fair to say his opinions are not his own.
If political corruption is a sin (not specified in the Decalogue) then yes, we have a problem. If political apathy is a sin, and it should be, then yes we have a problem. Lying is a sin in every culture, yet Graham doesn’t decry the liar president, in particular. Curious.
If ”sin“ is defined —as I would suggest it is in Rev Graham’s case— as that which merely disaligns with our professional position, then it’s the definition of sin that is the problem.
There was a time when such closed-minded Piety reigned unabated, at least the species of righteousness espoused by Rev Graham, it was called the Dark Ages. We’ve learned much since then, Graham and his regressive ilk would have it all struck from record.
Both Franklin Graham AND his father should be well represented in hell (if there is one) for the decades they’ve spent lying to children.
