He has Parkinson's.....and we should pray for him.
I'm Catholic and don't agree with all his theology. BUT, he is a good man, a man of faith, and Jesus is in him!
Christianity is very real.
Peace be with you!

I am a spiritual person who follows no organized religion. I hope you are a teenager who believes you have all the answers and not an adult that should know better. The one evangelist I do respect is Billy Graham. He has never been part of any scandals like many others in his profession. He has led a good life and followed his beliefs. This is not a discussion of religion but one of humanity. I am also a nurse that runs a dementia ward. Until you have experienced what happens to a person suffering from dementia, no matter what disease is the cause, you are speaking from a platform of ignorance. You dont have to believe what everyone else believes, but please, educate yourself before making gratuitous unkind remarks.

I hope someone, with the help of the Holy Spirit, will reach out to you with love and compassion and reveal the Truth of God's love to you, so you can come to know the joy, peace, and love that many Christians know.
Put your trust in Jesus who was perfect, not in any one man because we are all weak and fall short of the glory of God.

Billy Graham is not Christianity, so your question is moot. The Lord has anointed him as a messenger.

I'm not a Christian myself. But frankly, your argument is mean spirited. I think that evangelists preach a lot of bull, but turning a man's illness into a perversion is cruel and doesn't prove anything.
Wish I could be more encouraging.

Billy Graham has led more people to God in my life time than most denominations have in their history. That ain't wrong.

You err because you do not know the Scriptures. One day you will stand alone before an Almighty God and give account for all the things you have said and done. I wonder how blasphemous you will be on that Day?

parkinson's, dementia.... he is an old man who brought the word of Christ to many people. God gives people Crosses to bear while the are on this earth, it's how we handle them that shows are charachter and strength. while I'm an Rcc, this man is a great man who brought many people to God. he needs our prayers, not our condemnation now that his health is failing.
