lauriellen:
All the locals are gushing over Billy Graham today. All I can think of is that he probably did more to spread the lie of hell than almost anyone who has ever lived.

Seems he changed his way of thinking somewhat later in life. I read this on another forum.


“Billy Graham, as he aged, seems to have done what the Apostle Peter admonished Christians to do, “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (II Peter 3:18). He apparently grew so much that he became what has been called an “inclusivist.” This term means that all people, who lived up to the spiritual light they had, even if they never heard of salvation in Christ before dying, will be saved, because God will impute Christ’s righteousness to them. Consequently, many Fundamentalists have called him a heretic, due to believing in Universalism, the belief that all people will be saved. No, Graham, was not a Universalist, just, as an inclusivist, almost one.”

Hi Stacey,

Isn't it still the case that one needs to "believe" in order for God to impute righteousness?
So then a person who had never heard could not be a believer in something that they had not heard. Romans 10:14

Mr. Graham was still in error whether or not he knew it.

Philippians 4:8
“Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely,
whatever is admirable,,,,, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy,,, think about such things”


IS HELL ANY OF THESE THINGS?

4. Matthew 15:14

so ignore them.They are blind guides leading the blind, and if one blind person guides another, they will both fall into a ditch


9. 2 Corinthians 11:14

But I am not surprised! Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.

16. 1 Corinthians 1:21

or since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe.

2 Corinthians 4:3

3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing.

2 Corinthians 3:16-18

16 But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory,are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
