Franklin Graham: Real “Christians” Should Be Willing To Take A Bullet For Their Anti-LGBT Beliefs
http://www.back2stonewall.com/2016/05/franklin-graham-real-christians-bullet-anti-lgbt-beliefs.htmlCrazy as a bedbug Franklin Graham posting on his Facebook page:
“What would you take a bullet for? What are the principles and beliefs that you would not compromise under any circumstances? Even if it meant putting your life on the line? King Nebuchadnezzar who reigned over Babylon issued a decree that everyone worship the golden image he had made. Three men who knew the one true and living God, refused to worship the king’s idol—their names were Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. The king told them, ‘But if you do not worship, you shall be cast immediately into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.’ Here is their bold reply:
“’O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up’ (Daniel 3:16-18).
“Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego stood firm in obedience and faithfulness. They stood up for God’s truth. They stood up for their faith, and they didn’t waiver, even when it meant putting their very lives at risk. I want to call on every Christian and every pastor to stand firm like these patriarchs of old and not bow to the secular, increasingly godless culture in which we live—even when (not if) we’re criticized, mocked, and labeled intolerant.

Ezekiel 25:17
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the
selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of
charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness,
for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I
will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who
would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name
is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

Next week Graham is going to have a stoning the adulterers party.
G'sus Christ!
Sister Cindy was a "former Disco Queen" from the Univ. of FL.
They showed up every semester...I really thought the university hired them as entertainment.
