William Franklin Graham III is the namesake son of William Franklin (Billy) Graham Jr. This accident of birth is the only reason anyone listens to the idiot. There was a reminder tweet this morning. @JoeMyGod Franklin Graham Endorses Putin: “”America’s response to Putin’s law was sadly predictable. President Obama int…
On February 28, 2014, Mr. Graham published a thinkpiece, Putin’s Olympic Controversy. This was when Russia was invading Ukraine. The article was posted on the web page of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, 1 Billy Graham Parkway, Charlotte, NC 28201.
BGEA has a story now, Exclusive: Interview With Acting President of Ukraine. “In the midst of ongoing turmoil that has enormous global significance, God is mightily at work in Ukraine, the nation’s acting president said Wednesday.” PG does not know what is going on in Ukraine, and suspects that BGEA does not either.
“I see God’s hand in every little detail that took place as unarmed people went out to defend their freedom and the independence of their country against a fully armed professional army, many times bigger in size,” Turchynov said. “Their faith was victorious. God granted them victory.”
Getting back to the rantings of Mr. Graham, the chatter about the Olympic controversy could have been predicted. What is surprising is the comments about Syria.
“I have never heard Putin quote the Bible, but during his 2012 election campaign, he met with church leaders in Moscow and vowed to protect persecuted Christians around the world. That is one justification for his support of the Assad regime in Syria.
Syria, for all its problems, at least has a constitution that guarantees equal protection of citizens. Around the world, we have seen that this is essential where Christians are a minority and are not protected. The radicals in Syria want an Islamic constitution based on sharia law.
Christians have lived in Syria since the time of Christ. The Apostle Paul was on the road to Damascus when he met Christ. Christians in Syria know that if the radicals overthrow Assad, there will be widespread persecution and wholesale slaughter of Christians.”
