RIP Billy Graham

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Graham

You didn't bump into Cliff Richards by any chance?

Nah, it was in the summer and he was away somewhere.

ok

well done good and faithful servant

Absolutely, Lfc.  Lol, we all know you're not referring to the ignorant feckwit above you

Decent obituary from the Beeb ...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-13374487

lfc sums up the Great Man. Thankfully his son is continuing in the same vein.

Sold out Upton Park in the 80s. He spoke from God's heart to ours.

For Dave... Mr Graham's best Friend was Jewish. HTH....

well trilby he was a great American and a Christian so people like dave feel safe to ridicule him,... and the Christian religion also?

well that's the beautiful thing about America and Christianity, they allow us to do that

Just in case it gets deleted, the poster to whom I am referring made his sick comment at 4:49 PM GMT.  Disgraceful, but not surprising.

Well said Injera & lfc again.

no one could possibly make the comments in the Nixon tapes and not be anti-Semitic.

Based his oratory style on Hitler.

has his will been published?

played at roker park in the 80s , scored a diving header apparently.

99 years and now he'll realise (well actually he won't) it was all for nothing ! When your dead your dead.............simples

Another loaded bible basher,complete waste of air...

Some of  the above comments shows the wickedness in the heart of men................

Someone say a little prayer for the giggilo, hes too dumb to do so
oh and dave as well

Talking of waste of air..

tut tut, it ok I forgive you

there you are, it doesn't take much to show love and to praise God

Thanks billy...

Not at all, we humans are always searching, striving, for the meaning of the world, the goal and purpose of life
and so on
God even goes`with thoughtless people like the giggilo and dave

'bible basher'!! Ha! Come on - insult him properly you big girls blouse.

Henry Phillips would be ashamed of you!

Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

matthew 19:24

yes but its not impossible, the camel was able to enter the city of Jerusalem
it was an historical thing, they took the goods that the camel was carrying off so it could pass through the gates of Jerusalem
its a nice image based on something jesus witnessed

it has the ring of truth because of that, makes it seem very real
wouldn't you say?

8 richest pastor's in America - net worth

Billy Graham $25 million

Rick Warren:$25 Million

Joyce Meyer: $8 Million

Kenneth Copeland:$760 Million

Pat Robertson: $100 Million

Benny Hinn: $42 Million

Joel Osteen: $40 Million

Creflo Dollar: $27 Million

Matthew 19:24

24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

Just Saying !

jerusalem is bigger than the eye of a needle last i looked

no, the gates into jersualem were a certain size, when the merchants and traders came to the city with camels laden with goods they had to stop outside the city gates, take the goods off,let the camels enter, and then place the goods back on, or perhaps just carried them onwards
Jesus stood watching this 2000 years ago, I find it intriguing that we can see him standing there, thinking

not what matthew says, you can bend it whicheverway suits you

that it makes you happy in doing so is good

So, today Billy Graham will leave his $25 million with security outside the pearly gates. Check in and then pick up his $25 million in the foyer. Simples.

that is what it says, of course what was an event that was historical is also what jesus says in matthew, its a parable jersualem is heaven, the traders with their camels and goods are the worldly possessions

they had to get rid of these worldly possessions to enter heaven
so there is no contradiction, between the two, its subtle and clever and more real

but they havnt got rid of them, so its just something made up
to keep rich folk happy

sorry you cant enter, go downstairs

they measured the gates at Jerusalem by the way 2000 years later
they were big enough to let a camel through, but not if it carried too much
the gate was the eye of the needle

its a lovely thing to think of jesus standing watching this

It's all about logistics

but simply removing packages from a camel is not getting rid of your wealth

so he still aint getting in

you can almost see his brain ticking over :)

I don't know, theres just something I like about it being a real story, something that happened there

I can picture it, and jesus standing there watching

and thinking

Well done, Billy. You fooled some of the people all of the time.

i can picture it, and billy standing there watching

and thinking if only i had donated that 25 million to charity i could enter, perhaps

Lfc - you're thinking of Lawrence of Arabia

It's amazing how much people are paying to "Praise the Lord".

I don't quite understand why they need to.

If he's all powerful and omnipotent, why the grovelling?
And what makes preachers like Billy Graham so popular.

Seems like another case of the gullible doing what they're told again.

Funny how all the abuse is coming from the lefties.
Strange breed who cannot help themselves.
Born to moan.

RIP Mr Graham. Was a fantastic speaker.

There's more money to be made telling religious people to be religious than I thought.

It might be a good career choice!

FFS, akabula, is there ANY thread you can't draw a "leftie" conclusion from?
Talk about one track mind!!!

It wont be just his wealth that will be an issue at the pearly gates - He's also a 33rd degree Mason. The Luciferian cult.

SF check out those with nothing good to say about the man.

I'm sure ''cheddar man(jesus) will give him a nice welcome being a bruvver...

what happen was,the man was mention in the blue mink monster hit of 1969 "Melting Pot"
Cant be all bad surely" "WHAT WE NEED IS A ------"

I'm sure Mr Graham would smile at his detractors & mockers here and wish them all well.  Such is the way of good men.

As I said in my OP, "Good, honest man (as far as I'm aware) and not one of these dodgy coonts."

RIP Sir.

I'm sure thar smile would be a sincere as the ones he gave his Jewish "friends"

“A lot of Jews are great friends of mine,” Graham told Nixon in 1972. “They swarm around me and are friendly to me. Because they know that I am friendly to Israel and so forth. But they don’t know how I really feel about what they’re doing to this country, and I have no power and no way to handle them.”

https://www.jta.org/2018/02/21/news-opinion/politics/billy-graham-who-championed-israel-in-public-and-derided-jews-in-private-dies-at-99

yes he was right, many of them are leftists

just because the are jews does not mean that they are beyond criticism
so try and understand that

Dodgy has to trawl back 46 years for a "negatory" quote?  Wowsers!

Let the man rest in peace, for Goodness sake man.

Blimey Gmad, you're right!  I don't remember that.  June 21st, 1989.  How did you know?
