Wow: America’s Evangelist Billy Graham Turning 95

If I ever live that long, I hope I am able to get around as good as Billy Graham does.

The Story:

Evangelist Billy Graham turns 95 next month. His son, Franklin Graham, said hundreds have been invited to his father’s Nov. 7 birthday celebration.

Despite his advanced age, there are no signs that “America’s pastor” is slowing down.

This summer, he completed his latest book, The Reason for My Hope, along with an outreach video, titled “My Hope America with Billy Graham.”

Franklin said his father dictated the text and had it read back to him because his vision is poor.

He added that his father isn’t sure how he’ll feel on any given day, “until he’s had his cup of coffee.”

While I respect Billy Graham, and honor his age and all the accomplishments that he has made to the cause of Christ; I must be honest. I do, as a Fundamentalist Christian, have issues with Rev. Graham’s Ministry. Please see here and here for what they are, please.

My best to Rev. Graham on his 95’th Birthday. 😀

Hats off to Norman Geisler for speaking the truth and standing for the Word of God!

It is about time that one of those lousy dishrag Evangelicals stood for the truth! 😉

For the record, most of what is said below, most historical Fundamentalist Baptists would say, “Well, Duh!” 😛

Now, if we could just work on ’em about the King James Bible, and that modernistic worship garbage; and they would be alright in my book. 😀

The Story:

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina – Evangelical scholar and Southern Evangelical Seminary co-founder Norman Geisler spoke on the pluralistic aspect of Christianity at the school’s 20th annual Christian Apologetics conference last weekend and answered the question of whether there are several ways to God.

Religious pluralism is the belief that all religions are true and that all faith-based roads lead to heaven.  Geisler focused his message on the Biblical passage of Acts 4:1, which states that salvation is only found in Jesus Christ and no one else.

“Jesus is the only way because the Bible says it to be true,” said Geisler. “Why? Because only He can bridge the gap between God and man, there’s no other way.”

He said that although it seems narrow to suggest that Jesus is the only way, the notion holds true while adding that it is logically possible, historically probable, Biblically necessary and morally justifiable that He is the only way to heaven.

“All views can’t be true because all views are opposite, this is the logical aspect. For example, Islam says we are good in nature, Christianity says we are born in sin. Islam says God is a man, Christianity says He is more than a man, He is God, all truths can’t be the same,” said Geilser.
