BILLY GRAHAM has died. It is said that he preached to more people the good news of the redemptive death burial and resurrection of Christ than any other person in history. Be that as it may, he is gone from this life. ===================================== I was listening to all the emotional outpourings from all over the world from people that he influenced and his works do follow him. I think he probably did all he knew to do; giving that most basic of messages that God sent his Son to die in our place. When people talk about their dead how their love one is up in heaven looking down, praying for them or somehow protecting them, I generally say nothing because they are in pain and not in the mood to hear anyone say, no that is not what the Bible teaches. So, unless people would ask me directly I would not generally seek to go into a Bible discussion. However, I have occasionally been ask questions directly and responded directly. I saw Mike Huckabee on TV today affectionately stating that Billy Graham has entered eternal life after death up in heaven. I saw others claiming that all the CHRISTIAN DEAD that he had personally affected during their lives were having a great get together in heaven. It makes the person who believe in that sort of thing feel happy. It does not occur to any of these people that the tradition that they are teaching did not come from God. Some folk may dislike me for saying these things; but sometimes if you are quiet, you can become part of the deception or possibly fearful of what others think. I do not think the Graham Family would likely care what I say and Mr. Graham will certainly not be insulted. Many in the rest of or most of the whole world, who were influenced by Billy Graham, may not care either. The Apostle Paul was very Happy, whenever Christ was preached, for whatever reason; good or bad. It would point people in the right direction and God could teach them the full truth. So this is not an attack on Billy Graham. But Billy...
