5.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Expose, October 23, 2006

By

This review is from: Billy Graham and His Friends: A Hidden Agenda? (Paperback)

Documentation, documentation, documentation! Whenever I read a book that purports to bring to light secrets need to be known, I always check to see if that book meets my documentation test. This book far surpasses that test.

I was concerned with the anti-biblical and heretical aspects of Billy Graham, but this book exposes much more than that - it shows his connections to the evil world shakers as well. I am not interested in those connections, but I am only interested in the documentation that shows that Graham is not a shepherd, but a wolf in sheep's clothing. Yes, the book is long and tedious in some places, but just limit yourself to what you want to read.

The Bible says to prove ALL things.

"Test ALL things, and hold firmly that which is good." 1 Th 5:21

"Beware of false prophets!" Matthew 7:15

"Ye shall know them by their fruits," Matthew 7:16.

"Don't judge according to appearance, but judge according to righteous judgment." John 7:24

Much of the "fruit" emanates directly from Graham's own mouth.

For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned." Matt12:37

This book proves lucidly, conclusively, forcefully and beyond any shadow of a doubt what most believers fail to see or purposely ignore - Graham is a false teacher who is not drawing people to Christ, but is driving them away from Him. He is the single greatest detriment to the church of the 20th century, replaced now in the 21st century by Rick Warren. If I could give this book a "10", I would. Well worth every penny I spent on it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Billy Graham: The false prophet, April 17, 2003

By

This review is from: Billy Graham and His Friends: A Hidden Agenda? (Paperback)

Laodecians will cry and howl, because this book will cause great pain in removing the waxy plug from their ears and the thick scales from their eyes.
Truly Billy Graham is the Rick Warren of the previous generation.
Sadly, like Rick Warren, most people in the Laodicean church, wont even consider the possibility that Graham could be a false leader, and therefore won't go beyond the first chapter. (..."and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see"...).
What Billy Graham has gotten away with for the last fifty years is amazing.
Keep in mind if it were not true, it would be easier to claim all this took place during a brief moment in his ministry (i.e. a six month period). But for the last fifty years?! If Mrs. Burns were a liar, she's hardly making things easy for herself.
How could he get the backing of Rockefeller, William Randolph Hurst and other CHRIST HATERS?
How could he go into the former Soviet Union and speak while others have had to go under ground? Remember Bro. Andrew, who risked his life to smuggle bibles into those countries? But Graham just comes marching in like a king with a heroes welcome (hmmm, I wonder?). And when he left the Soviet Union he lied to the world by stating no Christians were being persecuted there, this left those Christians crushed that were hoping he would tell the world about their treatment!
I know that a person is not necessarily guilty by association but, Graham has, through his actions if not his words has endorsed so many unworthy characters. How?
Read about:
How his ecumenical leanings have swayed the protestant church ever more towards Roman Catholicism.
How Graham has allowed Catholic priests to work the altars.
How that after a person fills out the inquiry card towards the end of the service, many of those cards are sent to the Roman Catholic Church as well as other liberal churches. (Lambs to the slaughter?)
How he has shared his platform with the likes of Robert Schuller and Norman Vincent Peale. Schuller is a new ager and Peale was a 33 deg. mason and didn't even believe in the virgin birth among other Christian fundamentals! No wonder no Pastor in America, standing behind a pulpit would criticize these characters, because after all "Brother Graham" thinks they are just fine. What a tragedy!
I loaned this book to a couple of Christian friends of mine just to see what they would say, one was a Baptist preacher, Sure enough, they wouldn't believe it. They wouldn't consider the possibility that maybe one of their own could be a false prophet. Open your eyes Church and wake up!!
Luk 6:26 "Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets".

5.0 out of 5 stars FINALLY, THE TRUTH ABOUT BILLY GRAHAM, July 10, 2002

By

This review is from: Billy Graham and His Friends: A Hidden Agenda? (Paperback)

Actually, I've known a good bit about Graham for years, but this book really puts it in perspective, and Graham's own quotes tell what he really believes. Why is it that Graham gets invited to the White House no matter who the president is or what he believes, and what does Graham say about it? Why is it that Graham gets along so well with new ager Schuller of the Crystal Cathedral? Read Graham's quotes regarding same. And what did Graham say about how nature leads one to God? Amazing quotes and this is just a miniscule bit of what this book contains. Get it, read it, pass it on to friends. Billy Graham is not the great Christian preacher so many think he is. Excellent research, I'd recommend it to everyone.
