Billy Graham vs The Word Of God

http://www.gospelpreceptor.com/EdFile03.htm

Hello, I posted the article above to show the difference between truth and error.

I respect Billy Graham as a good moral man,but his doctrine is full of error. That error must be addressed by someone. This shows even a good man can be in error and oppose the word of God.

Hi,may I talk with you for just a moment.

Are you tired of living around worldly people?

Are you bound by drugs and wicked ways?

Do you feel hallow inside?

Do you wonder about the purpose of man?

Do you ever think of what will happen to your soul when you die?

Friend, I have thought about these things. I once lived in a manner that brought shame to my physical family. I used drugs and cared for no one but myself. I really thought I was having fun.

The fact is,I was hallow inside. The fun I was having only lasted as long as the drugs. Then after awhile the drugs did not even make me feel good anymore.

Let me introduce you to the Lord's Church. We do not ask for money from the public. We just want you to study your bible and teach others about God (2Tim.2:2). Why not give it a try? You most likely have tried everything else. Let's talk.

Anyone care to discuss spiritual matters?

[Tui - wan]

Surely there is someone in New York that is concerned about spiritual matters. Let us come together and reason over the scriptures.


Lets preach the gospel (Rom.1:16). All men are called by the gospel (Thess.2:14). We hear learn and come to the father by faith according to (John 6:44,45).

One needs to do as those in (Acts 2:36-47). They were believers so Peter told them to repent and be baptized for the forgiveness of sins (38). those the received the word were gladly baptized (41). After the obeyed the gospel the lord added them to the church (47).

No one is saved outside of Christ or the church (2Tim.2:10). Salvation is in Christ. All spiritual blessings are found in Christ.

Spiritual blessings -

1. Redemption (Eph.1:7)
2. No Condemnation (Rom.8:1)
3. New Creation (2Cor.5:17)
4. Salvation is in Christ (2Tim.2:10)
5. Eternal Life (1John 5:11)
6. Prayer (James 5:16)

All these blessing are for those who are already in Christ. They are benefits that only Christians have.

To tell the alien sinner to say a prayer to be saved is incorrect. The sinners prayer is not found after the death of Jesus. Check it out and see for yourself. Oh,I know people teach the sinners prayer all the time on the tv,but it is not what the bible teaches.

Paul was told to go see a preacher by the Lord(Acts 9:6). The Lord is a heavenly vessel. The word of God commands that the earthen vessel teach to other earthen vessels. Ananias was an earthen vessel (2Cor.4:7). So he taught Paul the gospel (Acts 22:16). Notice Paul's sins were washed away after being baptized not before.

Paul did not run to his family or friends to get advice when he was confronted with truth (Gal.1:15,16).

15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

I pray that people will submit to the pure unadulterated word of God. No additions and no subtractions (Deut.4:2)(1Cor.4:6)(Rev.22:18 ,19).

Why would I want to go to heaven? And what awaits those who go there?

There are many reasons why one would want to go to heaven. Being a Christian helps one to navigate this life on earth in the very best possible way (John 10:10).

I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.(John 10:10)

Living the Christian life means we will be learning the gospel and teaching others that they may also go to heaven (2Tim.2:2).

2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

There is great satisfaction knowing you have taught the gospel to another person and they have accepted the gospel call (2Thess.2:14). Knowing we have snatched a person from Satans grasp is also good to know (1Peter 5:8)(Jude 22,23).

There will be no tears,pain or worries in heaven. On the other hand Hell is a place no one will want to go if they really knew what awaits them (Luke 16:19-31).

23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

Here are a couple of lessons that may put it in words much better than I ever could. Do not accept their word but check in the bible and make sure what the lessons say can be found in the word of God.

If what you read in the lessons below are true and can be found in the word of God, follow them and share them with others. If on the other hand they cannot be found in the word of God,throw them in the trash (Acts 17:11)(John 5:39).

Fair enough?

[Nair-a-one]

The church of Christ was always in the mind of God (Isa.2:1-5)(Joel 2:28)(Dan.2:44)(Eph.1:9-11 ; 3:9-11).

In (Luke 24:49)& (Acts 1:5,8) The apostles were told they would receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit (power). This happened in (Acts 2:1-4). This was the beginning of the church of Christ.

The prophecies up until this time had always spoke of the church (kingdom) in future tense. From (Acts 2) on the word of God speaks of the church (kingdom) in present tense (Acts 2:47).

Most churches were made by man and began from the 1500s on. That means each of those man-made churches would not fit in the prophecies above. This would exclude them from being the church the bibles speaks about.

This is so very important. Let us talk about the issues without getting ugly. I am truly concerned about your soul.

Consider the following:

1.When did the church you attend have its beginning?

2.Who actually built the church you attend?

3.Where did the church you attend have its beginning?

If you cannot answer the questions above and have those answers harmonize with the prophecy scriptures above you are not in the church of Christ. Jesus said he would only save one church in (Eph.5:23).

...and he is the saviour of the body.

Body = church --->(Eph.1:22,23)

Here are the answers to the questions above according to scripture.

1.(Acts 2)About 33 AD.
2. Jesus Christ (Mt.16:18,19)
3. Jerusalem (Isa.2:3)(Luke 24:49)

If the answers you come up with do not match the above answers,please let us talk kindly about it. At least consider the questions and scriptures.

in love
