The Billy Graham Example
from Research of Fritz Springmeyer
Some of the areas that Billy Graham deviates from Scripture are as follows:
He is on public record supporting
homosexuality, abortion, his disbelief in
a literal hell, his support and practice of infant baptism to
save children,
his support for the Catholic church's worship of Mary (yet he
calls himself
a Protestant).
He has repeatedly praised infidels and apostates as great
Christians. He actively
supported the American government policy to fight the Vietnam
War. He would
not challenge the idea that the Bible is mythology, when directly
questioned.
The deception doesn't stop with the Protestants, Catholic
supporters have been
kept in the dark about his abortion views. The deception goes way
beyond Protestant,
Catholic beliefs.
As a programmed multiple who participates in Satanic Ritual,
Billy Graham has
deceived everyone. The second area is concerns about his support
for a
One-World Church and a One-World-Government. This stems from:
l. Billy Graham 's public endorsements of the World Council of
Churches and the
National Council of Churches,
2. Billy Graham's consistent attendance at the World Council of
Churches' meetings,
3. that Billy Graham has done more than anyone in the world to
bring about the
One-World-Harlot church, and he has done more than anyone to
unite all the
Christian groups into one organization,
4. Billy Graham's support of the Pope and the Catholic church
which is the
largest Christian religion and one of the pillars of the New Age
One-World
religious body being set up.
5. The support that the NCC and WCC gives him,
6. The support that the internationalists and globalists give
Billy Graham. Billy
Graham was first asked to do his Portland Crusade in 1993 by the
WCC/NCC
representative in this area who is a homosexual, a new ager, and
leader of the
ecumenical movement.
A third area is concern over the lack of depth that conversions
at Billy Graham's
crusades have, Some of the details on this are
l. Only 2% of the people coming forward at a Crusade have never
been Christians
and are actually giving their life to Christ for the first time,
and of these 80% fall away,
2. A great majority of people that come forward are sent to
Catholic and extremely
liberal Churches, extremely few are sent to solid Bible believing
churches., In the
Catholic Standard and Times, Thursday, July 16, 1992, p. 10, this
Catholic paper
reported that 1,900 Catholics responded to Billy Graham's call to
make decisions
for Christ in the Philadelphia Crusade and were referred to about
250 parishes.
3. People that come forward are sent even to Jewish synagogues
and New Age
churches.,
4. Converts are given the impression that Christ wants decisions
for him, rather than
that Christ wants disciples.
5. The people attending the crusades are almost all Christians,
due to the high
numbers of Christian counselors and the high number of church
people which are
always intentionally bussed in, (Frady exposes this, and in 1992
a writer of the
Williamette Week did a major story for the magazine detailing how
she had
searched the entire week at the Billy Graham Crusade for an
unsaved person
and failed to find a single non-Christian. There were a few, but
so few she didn't
find any. Williamette Week, Oct. 1,1992.)
6. Most decisions at the crusades are for trivial things such as
to stop smoking.
Interestingly, Christians with discernment spoke about how
hurting the churches
were after the Billy Graham Crusade here in Portland. They had
been made wild
promises of success, they were fleeced of their money, and then
given a lukewarm
spiritual boost. Their comments reminded me of this warning to
Billy Graham clear
back in the 1950s as to how he was ruining the harvest field.
Part of Satan's
Planetary control is through religious leaders.
Christians have been conditioned to believe that Billy Graham is
a great prophet
of God by the establishment media, who have told us for years
that Billy Graham
was the most respected man in America, The percentages that the
controlled
Media have reported for Billy Graham's popularity may have been
inflated.
How Billy Graham is a 33rd degree Mason.
This is an important issue, however, even if Billy Graham were
not a 33° Mason,
there are many things that he is doing that should warn
Christians not to support
him. There have been a number of people in casual conversation
who have
mentioned Billy Graham being a 33° Mason, for instance a CIA
leader, a NSA
person who is against the NWO, and various Masons. These
accidental
revelations are what can be considered casual evidence, in that
it is accidently
heard.
Some of the people who have read Fritz Springmeyer's Be Wise As
Serpents
book have been experiencing validation of what was written on
Billy Graham by
their own casual contacts with people. These types of encounters
are very
meaningful to the people who experience them, but their
significance is hard
to communicate to others. Hopefully, readers of this, who are
truth seekers,
will have their own casual-evidence-validation experience. One
piece of
casual evidence came from a Shriner Clown. It turns out the only
clowns who
were chosen to perform for the Billy Graham 1993 Portland Crusade
were
Shriner Clowns. There were non-masonic clowns available, even
some
Christian clowns, but the masons were the only ones Graham
allowed to
perform for him. Various people, who have worked in the system
for the
Illuminati, such as an ex-witch who is now a Christian, an
ex-33° Mason now
a Christian, and a CFR's person also now a Christian, all testify
that Billy
Graham is a 33* Freemason. A woman and a man who are ex-satanists
and now Christians also have mentioned about Billy Graham's
masonic
membership.
(One has to understand that there is a close working relationship
between
the Lodge and the Illuminati.)
To progress up the ranks in Satanism, they will require you to go
through
Freemasonry. Freemasonry then teaches people about the symbology
of the
mystery religions. The lodges bring in female Monarch slaves for
some of their
Egyptian sexual-magic rituals. If the reader were to get up in
the morning and
your mother, sister, and brother were in the kitchen and said
that your mother
had just drank a cup of coffee, you would be able to tell from
their faces if they
were telling the truth, and you would know that your mother had
drank a cup of
coffee. This is the way it is for us.
We know these witnesses know the truth, and we know they are not
making it
up. But if people don't believe that, then they need to go
scrounge up their
own witnesses, and risk their own hide in doing the contacting.
The material
we presented here is not frivolous work. As pearls of value, we
hope that
this research is not taken and allowed to become pearls given to
swine.
Because Billy Graham is such a key person for the Illuminati and
the Satanic
plan to bring in the Anti-Christ and the One-World-Religion, key
parts of
Graham's life have been intentionally shrouded, When he joined
the masonic
lodge c. 1948, they intentionally kept his membership more secret
than others.
Why?
They are secret about their membership in general, but even more
so if the
person is a key Illuminates and a big key to their religious
control, This is why
they have kept the membership of Charles T. Russell, founder of
the Watchtower
Society quiet. This is why they keep the memberships of the
Mormon prophets
secret, It has been a consistent pattern by the Masonic Lodge to
keep these key
people's membership very quiet. It would be much easier if we had
a membership
certificate, but for people who don't want to believe no amount
of evidence would
suffice.
In terms of a paper trail we have the following:
Billy Graham's books consistently refer to basically only Masons.
Billy Graham endorsed the Masonic DeMolay program for youth as
God's work.
This endorsement by Billy Graham is in a Masonic book that is
used to educate
people about "the craft" (that means Freemasonry).
That book is The Clergy and the Craft and it says that the people
who are quoted
in it are Masons.
(See Haggard, Forrest D. Transactions Missouri Lodge of Research,
Vol. No. 27,
The Clergy and the Craft, p. 127. where Graham endorses the
Masonic youth
program.
In terms of witnesses who have put what they have witnessed in
writing we have
the following:
Jim Shaw, ex-33° Mason -- the highest ranking Freemason to
defect to Christianity,
writes about Billy Graham being at his 33° initiation ceremony.
Huntington House
refused to print his book co-authored with Tom McKenney unless
they took out
Billy Graham's name on pg. 104, and substituted a general
description. (See
The Deadly Deception, p. 104-105.)
Only Freemasons are allowed to attend these initiations. (See The
New Age, the
official organ of The Supreme Council 33°. Wash., D.C., October
1961, p. 30.)
Some Christians have tried every thing in their mind to get
around Jim Shaw's
testimony. And the Masonic Lodge are now claiming that he wasn't
a 33°
Freemason. There is no doubt that he was a 33° Mason.
IN DECEMBER 2001 BILLY GRAHAM WAS
KNIGHTED BY QUEEN ELIZABETH -
That should speak volumes to anyone who has understanding of the
Illuminati pyramid
power structure and the most powerful Merovingian blood line of
the Royal Family.
What we are seeing is how important it is to the Illuminati to
keep Billy Graham's
membership secret. Originally, Dr. Morey who wrote a book on
Freemasonry told
me over the phone that Billy Graham was a 33° Freemason and that
he had held
his membership file in his hand in the library of the House of
the Temple, which is
where the Supreme Council of the 33° has their headquarters.
However, now he
denies it and says that he only was told by the librarians that
the file existed, but
that he didn't examine the membership file. He wrote a letter to
Christian News to
the editor which was printed. At least, his letter to the editor
of Christian News says
that the Scottish Rite have a Billy Graham file.
William M. Watson--DIRECTOR OF THE BILLY GRAHAM EVANGELISTIC
ASSOCIATION, he is a Freemason, and he is also President of
Occidental
Petroleum Corporation. Chairman of Occidental was Armand Hammer.
Watson
is also a member of the development council of the Masonic run
Baylor University.
Baylor University has participated in the mind-control, (See also
the expose of
Baylor University in Be Wise As Serpents.) He also was a member
of the advisory
council to the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Ft.
Worth which had
at least three Freemasons on its board of trustees, and likely
more.
David M. McConnell--DIRECTOR OF THE BILLY GRAHAM EVANGELISTIC
ASSOCIATION, he is a Freemason, He was also U.S. ambassador to
the United
Nations (1968-69), business associate with Illuminatus Charles
Gambrell, in Belk
Stores of Charlotte, North Carolina.
Arthur Lee Malory--CO-CHAIRMAN of the BILLY GRAHAM CRUSADE
Advisory
Committee for the 1973 St. Louis Crusade -- 32° Freemason,
deacon in the So.
Baptist Church.
Who are some of the primary ministers that had worked with 33°
Freemason Billy
Graham over the years? Billy Graham has helped set up other 33°
Masons in ministry.
Billy Graham has placed his stamp of approval on almost every
well-known apostate
Christian out there. When Billy Graham had a crusade in Japan,
the Japanese minister
that he had up on the platform was a well-known extremely liberal
Christian. A
conservative Japanese was shocked. Billy Graham is also endorsing
many of the
books, and ministries of these apostates. Some of the three
biggest ministers in
the protestant world, Robert Schuller, Norman Vincent Peale, and
Oral Roberts are
all 33° Masonic brothers of 33° Freemason Billy Graham. (See
Roberts, Oral.
Miracle of Seed Faith, p.9.)
Billy Graham has helped each of these brothers with their
ministries. Robert Schuller
taught principles of church growth to Unity School in Kansas
City. A Christian, who
used to be on staff there, said that Robert Schuller was fully
aware that Luciferian
Initiations were going on at the school and that he didn't care.
Robert Schuller, 33°
Freemason, was helped into ministry by Billy Graham. Schuller
also participates in
the Monarch program and is also sexually serviced by Monarch
slaves.
Norman Vincent Peale's form of Christianity called positive
thinking is actually
only white witchcraft with different names. Peale simply is a
"Christian" witch.
Norman Vincent Peale, 33° Freemason, his church receive the bulk
of people
who came forward at the NY Crusade. Norman Vincent Peale is a 6°
Illuminatus
(Pilgrim Society), and a 33° Freemason. In the magazine Psychic
Magazine of
San Francisco Peale says of occultist Kreskin, All he's doing is
dramatizing
what I've been preaching in my writing for years. Norman Vincent
Peale controls
the approx. $200 million Presbyterian Minister's Fund. He
celebrated the 25th
anniversary of the United Nations. He was the keynote speaker at
the birthday of
the late Mormon prophet Spencer W. Kimball (a secret Mason).
Peale praised
Kimball as a true prophet of God, and a great man of God. Peale
practices
witchcraft, and palms it off on unsuspecting Christians under
different terminology.
The false unity movement which is so strong today, wants to unite
the devout Christian
with the likes of Norman Vincent Peale. Peale is a good friend of
Billy Graham,
and Billy Graham referred the largest number of new converts of
the NY Billy
Graham Crusade to Peale's church.
Oral Roberts, 33° Freemason, helped into ministry by his masonic
brother Billy
Graham. Oral Roberts has been seen by witnesses participating in
SRA and Mind-
control. Oral Roberts University and the charismatic movement is
another important
religious front. The Charismatic movement has been infiltrated by
multiples since
day-one. The history of the infiltration is extensive. Oral
Roberts had Cherokee
blood, According to some things that Oral Roberts has said, some
Christians
think that he received his healing powers from an old Indian who
healed him
through Indian shamanism when Oral was young. At times, Oral does
use the
same methods that spirit mediums use to heal with. According to
slaves who
have been deprogrammed, they were in satanic rituals with Oral
Roberts. Christian
ministers, who have participated in his ministry are saying that
they have seen
massive swindle in his healing ministry. His university is being
used as a
programming center. His basketball team at one time had Monarch
slaves
playing on it. We do not know if they still do. Under the prayer
tower is one of the
programming sites. Billy Graham, a handler himself, helped launch
Oral Roberts
University, and is a friend of Oral Roberts.
From the Illuminati's point of view Tulsa is the Guardian City of
Apollo. The City of
Faith is to be the center for healing from AEsculapius, a demon
related to Apollo.
While portraying themselves as Christians, infiltrators within
the charismatic
movement are carrying out satanic rituals to get demonic healing
powers. Tulsa
is one of, if the main center for the campaign to infiltrate
Christianity via the
Charismatic/Pentecostal movement with programmed multiples.
G. Bromiey Oxnam, 33 ° Freemason, was head of the FCC churches,
supportive
friend of Billy Graham, G. Bromley Oxnam has a long history to
him of working for
the elite, interested readers can pick up his story in Be Wise As
Serpents in the
chapter that goes into the details about how the Christian
churches were organized
by the FCC and WCC for the Illuminati.
The NWO is infiltrating the churches via the Earth Stewardship
Movement. An
attempt was made at Rio de Janeiro to get an Earth Charter but
there wasn't enough
time, their were lots of N.O.G. delegates and just in general
lots of people to
coordinate (4,000 attended). Another Earth Summit was promised,
but instead they
decided at the end of Sept/Oct of '95 to have a State of the
World Forum to be held
by/sponsored by the Gorbachev Foundation at the Presidio, CA. The
ex-head of the
KGB, Gorbachev is now headquartered in the Presidio, a major
mind-control
programming site. Christian basher Ted Turner was the chairman of
the conference.
The cost was $5,000 per person and the invitations went out to
only select people.
There were 100 handpicked politicians who received invitations,
along with Billy
Graham and Mother Teresa. This was coordinated with the 50th
anniversary of the
UN which was being celebrated all over the world.
FLEECING THE SHEEP
The charismatic movement claims to have the Holy Spirit in a
special way, however,
some seem to be lacking in all discernment that the Holy Spirit
would give. There are
several books exposing the big name Charismatic ministers. One is
written by an
ex-charismatic Assembly of God minister. He shows a picture in
his book of an
Assembly of God flier promoting the "Testimony of J. Edgar
Hoover." Yes, the
Assembly of God promoted the, "testimony" of J. Edgar
Hoover, while he was
known to be a power hungry individual who practiced
homosexuality. It was this
type of hype that caused this minister to grow disillusioned with
the charismatic
movement's so called spirituality. Recently, the spiritual
discernment of Billy
Graham and many other big time ministries was exposed when these
big
Christian ministries were conned out of $550 million dollars.
Billy Graham
introduced John G. Bennett to thousands of people at a recent
Billy Graham
Crusade in Philadelphia in 1992. John Bennett gave his testimony
at the crusade.
Because Billy Graham, John Templeton, and Laurance Rockefeller
were apparently
supportive of John G. Bennett, big time Christian ministries
"trusted" him. John told
many of the big Christian ministries that if they gave him
millions of dollars, for every
million he received he would give them two million back. Many of
the big Christian
ministries gave Bennett money--in fact he collected $550 million
(which he ran off
with) from ministries such as Pat Robertson's, Bill Bright's,
Chuck Colson's, Luis
Palau's, Westminster Theological Seminary, Wheaton College, the
Salvation Army
and many others. The reader may have heard of this New Era
Foundation scam.
That's what it was. Bennett told these "Christian"
leaders "Give New Era one million
dollars and we'll give you back two million." The donations
of hard earned money by
many innocent Christian believers were lost, However, the
Christian believers are
partially responsible because the church has refused to clean
house of wolves that
set in their pulpits. For instance, when Billy Graham came to the
Portland area all
the various denominations from the most liberal to the most
conservative supported
him. Only about a dozen churches did not get involved and only
one church actively
tried to expose Billy Graham--EVEN THOUGH THERE HAS BEEN A MASS
OF
DOCUMENTATION EXPOSING BILLY GRAHAM AS A WOLF FOR 30 YEARS.
When the church refuses to follow God's Word and supports these
men-- then they
must take some of the blame when these men give their millions of
hard earned dollars
away to a con artist.
INADEQUATE REACTIONS
When people have been warned about Billy Graham, one of the
common responses
is for people to call up the Billy Graham crusade staff. If I ask
a biologist a question
about biology I can expect to get a credible answer, If I ask a
mother about her son
I can expect to get a credible answer. But how in the world can
someone call up the
Billy Graham Crusade staff and expect to get a credible answer to
the question Is
Billy Graham a Mason? The person that answers the phone is likely
a secretary, someone
who knows Billy Graham no more than the janitor. What does that
person know about
the Freemasons? Because the Freemasons are a secret society, in
general, there are
only two basic categories of people--people involved with
Freemasonry, and they
certainly know what's going on in it but they have taken blood
oaths on penalty of
death not to talk about it, and those who aren't involved with
Freemasonry and don't
know anything about it. There are only a few people who are not
masons, who are
informed about the Masons. The answer of some secretary over the
phone to the
question, Is Billy Graham a Freemason? is of little value,
because the secretary or
other staff member has not had the opportunity to get reliable
information. This is
from the standpoint of getting a reliable witness, calling some
secretary or staff
member is simply not a credible response to all the
documentation. No court would
view a secretary of a large organization as an expert witness
qualified to settle such
a dispute.
The second catch is that such witnesses are not reasonably
unbiased. It is expected
that Billy Graham's staff would front for him any questions that
could expose him to
bad publicity. This last comment is not speculation.
There is proof that Billy Graham's staff has consistently lied
over the years to prevent
negative publicity about Billy Graham. When Richard Nixon met
with his political buddies
to decide who to have run with him, the person he asked first in
the smoke-filled room
was Billy Graham, I have read the account of this is more than
one place, but I will quote
Marshall Frady's description of when Billy Graham was asked who
he thought should run
with Nixon as Nixon's vice-presidential running mate. Billy
Graham chose 33° Masonic
brother (then only 32°) Mark Hatfield. Here is Frady's
description. "His assimilation into
the Nixon presidency had already been well underway, in fact, at
that convention in
Miami when, after Nixon's nomination, Graham wound up sitting in
Nixon's penthouse
suite among the smoggy late-night deliberations over Nixon's
vice-presidential
selection: Graham himself, whatever initial uncertainty he might
have felt to find
himself in such a political locker-room session, soon pitched
into the proceedings
with his own effusive recommendation of Mark Hatfield: "He's
a great Christian
leader. He's almost a clergyman. He's been an educator, and he's
taken a more
liberal stand on most issues than you, and I think the ticket
needs that kind of
balance." In 1992, Mark Hatfield, along with Prince Hall
Freemason Jessie
Jackson both were on television in July of last year defending
Billy Graham's
actions. Mark Hatfield, according to a deprogrammed slave has
been a user of
Monarch sexual slaves.
NY's Union Seminary is controlled and funded by the Rockefellers.
President of
Union Seminary was Dr. Henry Van Dusen. Billy Graham made him a
prominent
person in his crusade and said he was a "classic
example" of a mass evangelism
conversion, If that is a good example of Graham's conversions, we
Christians should
shudder. It is no coincidence that the Southern Baptists of which
Billy Graham is a
member, is controlled by the Freemasons. Brook Hays, Pres, of the
So. Bapt.
Convention was a high ranking Freemason as well as part of the
CFR. None of
the So. Bapt. Convention's Presidents have opposed Freemasonry.
Pres. Bill Clinton,
a slave handler, is a member of the Emmanuel Baptist Church which
is a Southern
Baptist Church in Little Rock, Ark. The late Bill Moyers who
promoted the Mystery
Religions was a Southern Baptist. Moyers went to the SW Baptist
Theological
Seminary, the same school run by one of Billy Graham's staff
directors. John
Buchanan is another Southern Baptist. John Buchanan went to a So.
Bapt. Seminary,
and then worked as a front man for People for the American Way
started by Jewish
Norman Lear, an anti-Christian. People might be shocked to learn
of some of the
New Age teachings and New Age teachers that have been allowed
into the Southern
Baptist churches. The Southern Baptist youth program is based on
Masonic ideas
and is very Masonic in its ritual.
SUMMARY
The reader is thanked for wading through a lot of difficult
material. The reader can
see why Billy Graham may well be the greatest deception that has
ever been
successfully pulled off. But as Abraham Lincoln said, "You
can fool some of the
people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time,
but not all of the
people all of the time." Ever since the early 1950s, there
have been Christians
exposing Billy Graham, But the control of the Christian media and
the Christian
seminaries is far more extensive than most people realize. The Be
Wise As
Serpents book diagrams out how the Christian religious
denominations are being
controlled, and how the Masons and Illuminati-connected
administrators and trustees
have control of most of the Seminaries. Billy Graham without a
doubt works directly
for the Satanic hierarchy. But a rational and fair appraisal of
what the man is, and what
damage he has done to Christianity will probably not be given
much of a chance.
Nobody, no matter who they are is going to fool Christ. There
will be a real evaluation
done on judgment day.

THE "LOUISIANA MASONIC FAMILY" WEB SITE REPORTS THAT
THE REVEREND
BILLY GRAHAM IS A FREEMASON!!
For the past three decades, we Fundamental, Born Again Christians
have
repeatedly shaken our heads in dismay at the many strange and
apostate
actions that the organization of the Reverend Billy Graham was
taking.
We could not understand why he was doing many of these things.
But, if Billy Graham is a Freemason, as this Louisiana Masonic
Site
reports him to be, our questions are answered. We report this
information, and we recount these many previously unexplainable
events
in the past 30 years.
NEWS BRIEF: The Louisiana Masonic Family Web Site has a section
entitled, "Famous Masons" In the subsection entitled,
"Other Famous
Masons", they report that the Reverend Billy Graham is a
Freemason! The
Home Page of the Louisiana Masonic Family was:
http://www2.linknet.net/masonic/mig1.htm The link entitled, "Famous
Masons" is on http://www2.linknet.net/masonic/famous.htm On Page 12 of
15, alphabetically listed, the Reverend Billy Graham was listed!!
Note: This site was hot linked at the time we first posted this
article.
Masonic sites who list Reverend Graham as a Freemason come and
go. We
have found a site which seems to keep up with these links and we
are
providing their copy of the original document to you here. If
this links
stops working, please let us know right away.
If Reverend Graham is a Freemason as this Louisiana Masonic
Family Web
Site reported, and we have no reason to doubt it, then we can
begin to
understand why and how his organization has drifted far, far away
from
pursuing the true goals of the Fundamental, Bible-believing
Christian
Churches. These goals were well supported by Reverend Graham in
the late
1940's, as well they should have been, because they were based
upon
Biblical principle. As Reverend Graham began to drift away from
these
goals, we in the Fundamental community were terribly dismayed and
filled
with consternation!! We began to watch the activities of his
organization very carefully, and saw, to our greater dismay, that
he
continued to drift into the camp of apostate churches and New Age
organizations! Today, Reverend Graham is cooperating with the
Roman
Catholic Pope and the Vatican on many issues, he has been seen
speaking
to the World Council of Churches, and cooperating with other
apostate
religious leaders. We will document these activities, below.
Before we get started, however, we need to reiterate that we
found this
information on an official Masonic Web Site, not on an anti-Mason
Web
Site. We cannot conceive that the Louisiana Masonic Family Web
Site
would print a lie concerning their membership. We urge you to
click on
these Web addresses that we listed, above, to see this
information for
yourself. However, we have noticed that several official Masonic
Web
Sites that used to include Reverend Graham's name on their
membership
list have subsequently removed his name. Why would they do this?
They
undoubtedly took this action because of pressure from the Graham
organization.
Therefore, we believe that this Louisiana Masonic Family Web Site
might
also remove his name from their membership once this news is
reported.
The only reason we can think of that this kind of pressure might
be
exerted is the Reverend Graham is not willing that others learn
of his
membership at this time. Perhaps he feels that Christians of his
key
constituencies would leave in droves should they learn that he is
a
Freemason.
In the next article, we shall examine the ramifications of this
startling information that Reverend Billy Graham is a Freemason.
But,
now, we need to examine the things which the Graham organization
has
done over the years that caused Fundamental Christians to
understand,
with dismay, that he was moving toward apostasy.
Billy Graham's Rapid Change of Principles
I. Billy Graham's Rapid Changes From His Original Crusade
Policies
This is taken from "Billy Graham's 23 years of Theological
Change" by
Rev. Charles Emert, 1971.
A. Change Regarding The Apostate World Council of Churches 1. In
1948
Billy Graham was asked, "What do you expect the WORLD
COUNCIL OF
CHURCHES to do this August when they visit Copenhagen?" He
replied, "I
believe they are going to NOMINATE THE ANTICHRIST!" [He
certainly was
against the WCC at that time!] 2. As Early As 1966 He boasted
that he
attended the WCC assembly in New Delhi in 1961, and he hoped he
would
attend the 4th assembly in Uppsala, Sweden in 1968 (which he
did). He
has attended all but two WCC assemblies ever since. This policy
continues. Quite a CHANGE!
B. Change Regarding Sponsorship by Various Councils of Churches
1. In
1952 Billy Graham wrote to Dr. John R. Rice, "... we have
NEVER been
sponsored by the COUNCIL OF CHURCHES in any city except
Shreveport and
Greensboro ... both small towns where the majority of ministers
are
evangelical." 2. As Early As 1964 Billy Graham's Columbus,
Ohio, crusade
was sponsored by the modernistic Columbus area Council of
Churches. This
policy continues. Quite a CHANGE!
C. Change Regarding Non-Fundamentalists In Authority or
Responsibility
1. In 1955 Billy Graham said to Dr. John R. Rice: "I will
NEVER have
anybody take a PLACE OF AUTHORITY or RESPONSIBILITY in my
campaign who
is not SOUND IN THE GREAT FUNDAMENTALS OF THE FAITH." 2. As
Early As
1957 In the New York crusade, Billy Graham had Henry Pitt Van
Dusen,
President of Union Theological Seminary. take a place of
responsibility
and authority. U.S. News wrote that Van Dusen's school was
"one of the
most LIBERAL and LEFT-WING schools in America." Yet for all
this, they
wrote that "Dr. Van Dusen is considered by Graham as a GREAT
RELIGIOUS
LEADER." He [Billy Graham] has used other apostates such as
Robert J.
McCracken, Norman Vincent Peale, and others. This policy
continues in
his crusades. Quite a CHANGE! [Cutting Edge Commentary: Norman
Vincent
Peale was also a Freemason, according to this Louisiana Masonic
Family
Web Site, given above, and by Cyberconnect's "History of
Freemasonry",
http://www.cyberconnect.com/max/hist.htm .Both these Web Sites are
official Freemasonry sites!]
D. Change Regarding Separation From Those Who Reject Biblical
Authority
1. In 1952 and 1958 Billy Graham, in time past made sound
statements
concerning false doctrine: a. In 1952, He wrote to Bob Jones,
Sr., "We
have never had a man on our committee that denied the VIRGIN
BIRTH, the
VICARIOUS ATONEMENT, or the BODILY RESURRECTION." b. In
1958. He stated
in Eternity Magazine: "If a man blatantly denies the DEITY
OF CHRIST or
that Christ has come in the flesh, we are NOT TO EVEN BID HIM
GODSPEED.
Thus, the Scriptures teach that we are able to be SEPARATED FROM
those
who DENY THE DEITY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST ... I am to treat him
as an
ANTICHRIST and an ENEMY OF THE CROSS."
2. As Early As 1963 He had United Methodist Bishop, Gerald B.
Kennedy, as his
Los Angeles Crusade Chairman. Kennedy wrote in one of his books:
"I believe
that the testimony of the New Testament, taken as a whole, is
AGAINST THE
DOCTRINE OF THE DEITY OF JESUS ..." This policy continues.
Quite a
CHANGE! If Graham was including in his Crusades a man who
publicly
denied the Deity of Jesus Christ, as early as 1963, how is it
that all
Fundamentalist Christians continued to believe in him? The answer
is that
too many of us knew Graham only from his TV sermons, which
contained
no error. We assumed his organization would be similarly true to
the Bible.
We did not look behind the scenes to see the heresy beginning to
creep in!
E. Change Regarding Encouraging "Converts" to go to
Modernistic Churches
1. In 1950 Billy Graham's secretary, Jerry Bevan, wrote,
"Certainly, Dr.
Graham does NOT encourage converts to go to Catholic or
MODERNISTIC
CHURCHES." 2. As Early As 1957 He sent ... 373 of his New
York City
decision cards to the apostate Marble Collegiate Church in that
city.
This trend continues in regard to apostate Protestant churches,
Catholic
churches, Jewish synagogues, and elsewhere. Quite a CHANGE! The
word
"apostate" refers to someone or some organization that
once stood for the
Truth of the Gospel, but has subsequently abandoned this Truth
and is now
advocating other positions that are not Biblical Truth. Almost
all Mainline Protestant
denominations, such as the Methodist, Episcopalian,
Congregationalist,
to name just a few, at one time were very Fundamental and adopted
the
same stands we currently adopt. However, over the passage of
time, these
denominations have drifted away from strictly observing the
Fundamental
Doctrines and have begun to either compromise their beliefs or
deny
their previously held beliefs
F. Change Regarding Roman Catholicism: 1. In 1964 Billy Graham's
aide,
George Edstrom, wrote: "Mr. Graham has NEVER PREACHED IN A
CATHOLIC
CHURCH, and he does NOT AGREE WITH THEM in the joining of ONE
CHURCH. If
you heard this, it is nothing but false rumors." 2. As Early
As 1963
[Note that this date is one year earlier than this statement,
above] In
1963, Mr. Graham had spoken at the Roman Catholic Belmont (NC)
Abbey
College. [Cutting Edge Commentary: Denying, in 1964, that Graham
had
spoken any Catholic Church, when he had, in fact, spoken at
Belmont
Abbey College the year earlier, does not this qualify as an bold
faced
lie?!] 3. In 1967 He again spoke at this college at the Institute
for
Ecumenical Dialogue, receiving his honorary Doctor of Humane
Letters
(D.H.L.) from them and saying that this was "... a time when
PROTESTANTS
AND CATHOLICS could meet together and greet each other as
BROTHERS,
whereas ten years ago they could not." At the same time, he
stated: "The
Gospel that built this school and the gospel that brings me here
tonight
is still the only way to salvation." This policy of
pro-Roman
Catholicism continues. Quite a CHANGE! We find it almost
inconceivable
that Graham could equate the True Gospel of Salvation Through
Grace ALONE,
with the Roman Catholic False Gospel of Salvation through good
works, through
the Sacraments of the Church, through Baptism, through praying to
dead saints,
through praying the Rosary, through Indulgences, and through
Penance. These
vast differences are what caused Martin Luther to break with the
Roman Catholic
Church and to start the Protestant Movement. Did you know that
the very word,
Protestant, derived from the word, "Protest" against
Rome? Have you
forgotten, Mr. Graham, the 8,000,000 million Protestant martyrs
at the
hands of the Catholic Inquisition, from 1550-1850? When Graham is
making
these statements, and calling Catholics brothers, he is denying
the
collective martyrdom of all these valiant Christians who died at
the
hands of Rome.
The Roman Catholic Church completely fulfills two prophecies. 1)
John
16:2-3, "yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you
will think
that he doeth God service. And these things will they do unto
you,
because they have not known the Father, nor me." More than
the Roman and
Jewish persecutors during the day Jesus spoke these words, the
Roman
Catholic Church has fulfilled this prophecy. This is exactly what
they
were doing during the Inquisition, martyring Protestants and then
claiming they were doing God service. And, Jesus nails the issue
right
on the head when He states that the people who do this do not
know
either the Father or Jesus. 2) Revelation 17:6, "And I saw
the woman
drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the
martyrs
of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great
admiration." This
"woman" is the religious false harlot, whom Protestant
Bible scholars
have identified as the Roman Catholic Church for the past 200+
years.
Certainly, Rome qualifies here, as well. Reverend Graham slighted
every
one of these 8,000,000 Christian martyrs when he equated the True
Gospel
with the Roman Catholic Church. But, if Graham is secretly a
Freemason,
we know how and why he can make this kind of statement. Remember
this
about a Freemason: he believes he is following a higher religious
truth
than is contained within any individual religious organization,
including Christianity. Therefore, Graham can preach the Gospel
with his
lips while guiding his organization toward the Freemasonry ideal
of the
global Fraternity of Mankind, i.e., the New World Order
Religion!! And,
he can do this without suffering feelings of remorse and
conscience!
G. Change Regarding Communism 1. In 1949 Billy Graham said:
"Communism
is inspired, directed, and motivated, by the Devil himself."
Graham spoke the
Truth here; the question is, did he believe it then, or was he
simply following
the Dialectic Process at this point? Freemasonry created
Communism so as to
provide the world with the needed Antithesis to battle Thesis to
produce
the Synthesis, which is the New World Order. The point is, if
Billy Graham
were a Mason above the 30th Degree, and he probably was, given
his high
position of World Evangelist, then he knew that Communism was a
loyal ally in
the "struggle" to achieve the Synthesis, the New World
Order. 2. As Early
As 1959 In Christianity Today, it was reported: "Without
elaboration,
the evangelist [Graham] said his thinking had undergone some
CHANGES ...
and he indicated that his attitude toward EASTERN EUROPE is more
open."
This policy continues. Quite a CHANGE! 3. In 1982 He visited the
Moscow
Peace Conference and said: "I saw no evidence of religious
persecution
in Russia." This was in spite of his visit to the Siberian
Pentecostals
staying in the American Embassy. The Communist Russian Government
strictly
controlled what Graham saw in Russia, and everyone knew that the
severe
persecution of religion and the murder of many Christians, was
one of
the most well documented tragedies of the 20th Century.
Therefore, for
Graham to make this statement, he had to either be terribly naive
or misled, or that he had to be cooperating with the Communists.
II. A SAMPLING OF OTHER UNSCRIPTURAL BELIEFS OR POLICIES OF
BILLY GRAHAM
A. Communism, Roman Catholicism, and Mohammedanism "In 1948,
he said:
'The three gravest menaces faced by Orthodox Christianity are
Communism,
Roman Catholicism, and Mohammedanism.' In 1973, he said that
Communist
Mao Tse-Tung's eight precepts are basically the same as the Ten
Commandments. In 1973, he praised the Roman Catholic mass as a
'very
beautiful thing', and by 1978, he said Muhammed Ali's beliefs in
Islam
'are something we all could believe'." While this change in
statements make
no sense on the surface, and absolutely no sense to the Christian
whose
beliefs on key matters are based upon Eternal Scripture, these
changes
make absolute sense for a Freemason! A Freemason believes that
all religions
are equally valid, and it embraces all the "Wisdom" of
all the Ancient Mystery
Religions. Further, a Mason will look upon Communism as a loyal
ally in the
drive to create the Synthesis system known as the New World
Order!!
B. Infant BaptismalRegeneration and Billy Graham "In 1961,
Dr. Graham
said this of infant baptism: "I do believe that something
happens at the
baptism of an infant ... I believe that a miracle can happen in
these
children so that they are regenerated, that is, made Christian
through infant
baptism." Graham made this kind of heretical statement in
1961? Why did
it take us Fundamentalists so long to realize that Graham was an
apostate?
We had on blinders, didn't we?
C. Apostate Leslie Weatherhead On Billy Graham's Platform In
London "In
1966, Dr. Graham said this of infant baptism: 'I remember during
our
London Crusade of 1954, I preached a sermon ... Dr. Leslie
Weatherhead
sat on the platform that evening and to my surprise commended my
sermon.' Dr. Weatherhead was a notorious blasphemer who wrote in
his
book, The Christian Agnostic, that the Lord Jesus Christ was born
an
illegitimate child, and that Mary was no virgin, but a temple
prostitute." This heretical notion that Jesus Christ was
born out of
wedlock is a common New Age teaching. Some New Age authors
have even gone so far as to say that the father was a Roman
soldier, and some even say that the soldier was of German
descent! I
guess the question to ask about this situation, was, why did
Graham
allow Dr. Weatherhead to even sit on the platform, if Weatherhead
was so
blatantly a heretic? A speaker allows only dignitaries with whom
he
agrees to sit on the platform while he is speaking. Just sitting
on the
platform with Graham signifies that Graham was conferring honor
and
acceptance on Weatherhead!
D. Billy Graham Doesn't Think The Heathen Are Lost "In 1978,
McCall's
Magazine reported Dr. Graham's 'updated' understanding of the way
of
salvation. 'I used to think that pagans in far-off countries were
lost
-- were going to hell -- if they did not have the Gospel of Jesus
Christ
preached to them. I NO LONGER BELIEVE THAT ... I believe there
are other
ways of recognizing the existence of God -- through nature, for
instance
-- and plenty of other opportunities, therefore, of saying yes to
God."
While the Apostle Paul did say, in Romans 1:18-20, that all men
have
a basic knowledge of God's existence implanted in their inner
consciences,
and they can see evidences of God's existence in nature, Paul is
saying all
this in connection with the concept that, because of these
things, all men are
without excuse before God on Judgment Day. Paul's exact words
were,
"... so that they are without excuse". Paul never,
ever, said that the pagans
do not need the Gospel to be saved, as Graham here is saying. In
fact, Paul
boldly states just the opposite, in Romans 10:14-15, " How
then shall they call
on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe
in him
of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a
preacher?
And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written,
How
beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace,
and
bring glad tidings of good things!" How can the pagans, Paul
asks, be
saved without a preacher being sent to preach the Gospel to them?
Dr.
Graham was clearly wrong here; why didn't we get wise then?
E. Billy Graham -- Now Works With Everyone "Once a
self-confessed 'Bible
fundamentalist and separatist', today Dr. Graham freely
associates and
fraternizes with 'anyone under any label' -- liberal, modernist,
charismatic, Catholic. We are not surprised that Dr. Graham is
now a
friend of the World Council of Churches and the Roman Catholic
Church
... In his crusades, Dr. Graham has established a global pattern
of
cooperative, ecumenical evangelism, allowing liberals,
modernists,
evangelicals, charismatic, and Roman Catholics to work together,
thus
accelerating the pace of ecumenical union." For those who
would question
Billy Graham being an apostate, just watch his next crusade. You
too will be
upset from the beginning by seeing Roman Catholic nuns and
priests on his
platform, sitting behind him. When he gives his standard
invitation to come
down to accept Jesus Christ as Savior, he then says, 'And if you
are Roman
Catholic, I want you to come down to renew your vows.' Don't we
know that
there is no salvation within Roman Catholic doctrine. But, Dr.
Graham has
always been ecumenical, because his crusades have always
encouraged
the advance support work from all Protestant churches in the area
in which
he is going to have his crusade! And, he has sent follow-up cards
to all
Protestant churches after his crusade. Lately, he has been
including the
Roman Catholic Church in this effort. Therefore, Dr. Graham has
always
promoted Ecumenicism. The Ecumenical Movement seeks to unite all
churches of all denominations, even though many of these churches
hold
different doctrines, some them of very important doctrines.
Basically, these
churches unite, "agreeing to disagree" on doctrinal
matters, emphasizing
matters on which they can agree. Therefore, churches who believe
in the
Deity of Jesus Christ and Salvation only through him, are uniting
with
churches who deny these doctrines! This is the Ecumenical
Movement
today! These churches are ignoring Jesus' commandments to
"Come out of
her [the false system], my people, that ye be not partakers of
her sins,
and that ye receive not of her plagues." Or, they have
forgotten Paul's
warning of associating with non-believers, "Be ye not
unequally yoked
together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness
with
unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And
what
concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that
believeth
with an infidel?" Truly, when a church who holds to the
traditional
doctrines of the Christian faith, joins with a church who denies
some or
much of this faith, that church is being "unequally
yoked" with an
infidel organization, an organization of "Belial", who
is equated with
Satan or Antichrist! -- Holman Bible Dictionary Online --
Furthermore, New Age authors make no bones about the fact that
they see
the Ecumenical Movement as being the main tool to bring Christian
churches into the planned global New World Order Religion. Listen
to the
way in which Master D.K. describes the planned Ecumenical
Movement,
speaking through Alice Bailey, in the book, "The
Externalisation of the
Hierarchy". "Eventually, there will appear the Church
Universal, and its
definite outlines will appear towards the end of this century.
This
Church will be nurtured into activity by the Christ and His
disciples
... when the true second coming has been accomplished. No date
for the
advent do I set, but the time will not be long. The Christian
church, in
its many branches, can serve as a St. John the Baptist, as a
voice
crying in the wilderness, and as a nucleus through which world
illumination may be accomplished ... Its work is intended to be
the
holding of a broad platform. The church must show a wide
tolerance, and
teach no revolutionary doctrines or cling to any reactionary
ideas ...
The prime work of the church is to teach, and teach ceaselessly,
preserving the outer appearance in order to reach the many who
are
accustomed to church usages ... the sacraments must be mystically
interpreted ...".
Did you fully understand what the demon, Master D.K., has just
revealed?
Eventually, the global church of the Christ -- Antichrist -- ,
which he
has called the Church Universal, will arise toward the "end
of this
century". But, first, the Christian Church must serve as a
preparatory
force to change the old, "reactionary" church, which
has promoted
"revolutionary doctrines" into a new, combined church
which holds forth
a "broad platform" that shows a "wide
tolerance". However, while this
change is going on, the Christian Churches must "preserve
their outer
appearance" in order to deceive those who need to still
believe they are
serving Jesus Christ!! Does this not fully explain the current
Ecumenical Movement? It holds forth a "broad platform"
and shows a "wide
tolerance" while still pretending to be Christian! And, as
Master D.K.
so eloquently states, the ultimate aim is to produce the Church
Universal of the Christ -- Antichrist.
Several Scriptures speak directly to this terrible situation
facing us today,
embodied in the Ecumenical Movement. 1) Jesus warns, in Matthew
7:13-14,
"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and
broad is the way, that
leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Because
strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto
life ..."
The "broad" way which Jesus stated leads to Hell is the
same "broad
platform" of which Master D.K. speaks, above. This
"broad" road means
that anyone can believe and practice anything, and still will
think it
will lead them to Heaven. This is precisely the belief of the
Freemasons,
of which Billy Graham is a part. They believe that all religions
are equally
valid, and that all roads lead to Heaven. The main enemy is the
Fundamentalist
Christian who insists upon following the "narrow way"
that leads to eternal life!
2) Jesus warned that, in the Last Days, religious deception would
be unparalleled.
a) Matthew 24:4, "Take heed that no man deceive you."
b) Matthew 24:10, "And
then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and
shall hate one
another And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive
many."
Isn't this precisely the effect which the Ecumenical Movement has
had
upon the Christian Church? Beginning in 1910, when the National
Council
of Churches was founded, many "religious leaders"
became offended at the
simple, profound, and miraculous Truth of the Gospel, and they
began to
hatefully attack those leaders who held to these Truths. But,
these
"false prophets" persisted, and have led many away from
the Gospel,
deceiving them tremendously. They have paved the way for the
coming
Antichrist, just as John the Baptist paved the way for Jesus
Christ.
Master D.K. knew whereof he spoke. c) Matthew 24:24, "For
there shall
arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great
signs and
wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive
the very
elect." This deception would become more clever and more
persuasive,
until the only ones who are NOT deceived are those who are the
Elect of
God, those who are truly Born Again! We are at this point right
now!
Finally, did you notice Master D.K.'s assertion that the
"sacraments
must be mystically interpreted"? When he is speaking of the
"sacraments"
he is including the whole of Scripture, as well. Thus it is that
the
entire Bible has been "mystically interpreted". Go into
any New Age
bookstore and you will discover books about Jesus' "Lost
Years", or
about His "Secret Teachings", or about the revelations
of the "Akashic
record". These are all systematic efforts to
"mystically" reinterpret
Scripture, so the New Ager now has a mystical answer for every
valid
doctrine of Scripture. This is unparalleled deception, and its
very
existence is proof we are living in the Last Days.
F. Billy Graham -- Enthusiastic Friend of Rome "Dr. Graham
is an ardent
admirer and supporter of the Pope with whom he has regular and
warm
liaison ... On another occasion, he said that he believed the
Pope to be
'God's instrument for revival in our generation' ... It is now
'normal'
for Roman Catholic nuns and priests to support Billy Graham
Crusades by
training counselors for, and being personally involved in, the
crusades." House of Theosophy, 8/18/91, we reveal that the
New World
Order Plan has chosen the Roman Catholic Pope to be its head
religious
leader of the Church Universal of Antichrist! This leadership
post places the
Roman Catholic Pope as the False Prophet of Revelation 13:11-18.
And
naming the Pope to this position is consistent with the prophecy
of Revelation
13:11 that he will have "two horns like a lamb",
meaning that he will present
himself to a believing world as a Christian leader. Most
non-Fundamentalist
people today believe the Pope is a Christian. Billy Graham
certainly aids and
abets this false perception, doesn't he? Therefore, Billy Graham
is helping
Revelation 13:11 to be literally fulfilled, isn't he? And, if
Graham is aiding the
False Prophet, then his activities are aiding Antichrist, as
well.
G. Billy Graham's "Converts" Sent Back To Their
Unbiblical Churches "
'Converts at Billy Graham Crusades are sent to 'churches of their
choice' without any sort of spiritual distinction. This results
in their
being sent to liberal-modernist churches, as well as Roman
Catholic
churches; newborn babes are being fed with DOCTRINAL
POISON." Another
Fundamentalist author, E.L. Bynum, states in his pamphlet,
"Why We
Cannot Support The Billy Graham Crusade": "But as a
matter of
conscience, we cannot endorse the ministry of Billy Graham, nor
can we
cooperate in a Billy Graham Crusade. Our reasons are based upon
the
Word of God!! We cannot remain silent when this ministry of
compromise
is being used to destroy the very foundations of the Christian
faith.
There is a reason why apostates and carnal religious leaders are
so
enthusiastic about their support of Billy Graham. Billy Graham is
pumping warm blood into the dead ecumenical movement and helping
to
build the coming one world church. When the ecumenical liberals
hit a
snag in bringing about organic union of the denominations, they
saw in
Billy Graham an opportunity to break down the stubborn bars of
separation, through the medium of evangelism. It is working quite
well
for them."
Billy Graham began his popular evangelistic ministry at just the
time when
the liberal churches were beginning to lose so many members that
they
were afraid of going out of existence. Graham's ministry has
truly infused
new lifeblood into these dying liberal churches.
At this point, we must reiterate that we do not find much fault
with
what Billy Graham SAYS during his sermons. He does preach the
True
Gospel message, and we are sure that many, many people have been
truly
saved during his Crusades. However, we do find much to fault him
for the
liberal, modernistic, and apostate people and organizations with
which
he constantly associates and supports. And, when his organization
sends
a brand new baby Christian to one of these apostate churches for
follow-up training, that baby Christian will certainly be quickly
turned
into a good New World Order Christian, quite capable of
supporting
Antichrist when he arises!!
The fact that we now have been told by the Louisiana Masonic
Family that
Billy Graham is a Freemason, we see yet another sign that the End
of the
Age is upon us. Graham is possibly a counterfeit Christian,
probably the
best ever. Does he not know that he is fulfilling the Biblical
prophecies of unparalleled religious deception, deception so good
that
even the Elect would be deceived were it not for the power of the
Holy
Spirit revealing the Truth to the true believers? We need to
really pray
for Billy Graham and everyone in his organization!!
The End of the Age is so close we can hear the hoof beats of the
approaching Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse [Revelation 6].
