They? Who the hell is "they?" This is dangerous, dangerous rhetoric that should not be uttered by someone claiming to be a Christian leader or anyone in this country for that matter. Let's also go through these accusations Graham is leveling. "They" did not try to put him in prison. Trump broke the law. Perhaps Graham needs a civics lesion but when you break the law in this country, you could end up being charged. He was and was found guilty beyond reasonable doubt by a jury of his peers! The Republican Party talking points are bovine excrement. He is not being persecuted. He is being adjudicated because he broke the law. Secondly, there is no "they" that tried to assassinate him. The shooter from Pennsylvania was a Republican! He voted for Trump in 2016! It is bad enough when political operatives engage in this kind of blatant deception but to do so at an alleged Christian event on behalf of Jesus shows how little fear Franklin Graham has of the living God. I was reminded of the key verse above where Job asks - will you lie on behalf of God? Will you speak deceitfully for Him? The chapter goes on as Job asks if we think we can deceive God as easily as we deceive man and why does not the majesty of God terrify you! So, Graham says that he will trust God and then goes on to pray specifically for Trump? Is God incapable of choosing Harris? Will God be incapable of blessing this nation unless Trump wins? I might add here that Greenwood and Trump partnered up to sell $60 bibles that they make in China while calling it the God bless the USA bible. Right, he is God's choice Franklin.
"The former president pledged if elected to set up a commission "immediately" to investigate anti-Christian bias in government. "Americans of faith are not a threat to our country. Americans of faith are the soul of our country," he said, prompting a standing ovation. Dutch Sheets, who hosts the weekday podcast "Give Him 15" was among the faith leaders in attendance. He reported on his program Wednesday, "When the sound of fervent prayer arose loudly over the gathering, followed by Graham's own heartfelt prayer, I knew I was at the right rally." Graham's message is certainly timely. Hopefully millions will take it to heart and pray for Trump, the election and our country." - Charisma News
Ahh, what would an NAR event be without some good old fashioned self-victimization? There is no anti-Christian bias in this country beloved. We live in the freest country in the history of the world. What it is not however, is a theocracy. I find it laughable that Charisma drops the name of false prophet Dutch Sheets as some kind of Christian bonafides for this event. He hopes that millions pray only for Trump? All of the Christian eggs appear to be in one basket. So, we are not praying for God's will but rather our own. We do this while ignoring the man we insist is the Christian imperative. Rape conviction? Hey, they are just trying to put him in jail! Cheated on his first wife with his second wife and cheated on his third wife with a porn star? Hey, we are not voting for a pastor in chief you legalist! Thirty-four felony convictions, six bankruptcies, three other pending prosecutions, and a partridge in a pear tree? Hey, what are you biased against Christianity? Stop the insanity! If you want to vote for Trump, knock yourself out but for the love of all that is pure and holy, stop pretending God is on your side because He is not.
The true question is, are we on His side?
