mikeymike-i respect your opinion, however I'm sick of the continuous optimism regarding everything Billy of Franklin Graham does. Franklin isn't God, he isn't the Holy Spirit incarnate, and quite frankly he needs to start showing that he isn't helping the antichrist. "I tell you verily that the antichrist is coming and even now many antichrists have come" Kim Jong Il and any who persecute the church are antichrists. Franklin isn't the Moses of our time. The term "Man of God" is quite laudatory. I think its time for grass roots Christians to realize that televangelists don't always act according to the will of God. Theres a cult surrounding the Grahams that makes them immune from criticism from many within the church. They are not Men of God, rather men who rely on the mercy of God, just like the rest of us.

You who admire Graham's courting of Kim Jong Il have a great ignorance of your own faith. Christ demands that we call a spade a spade. Christ would have had harsh words for Nero and harsher ones still for Kim Jong Il. Don't forget that John the Baptist was beheaded for preaching against their ruler's elicit love affair. I don't see Graham making much personal sacrifice for Christ's message of truth when hes flying around on his own Gulfstream jet. Your contributions are going towards fueling up his multimillion dollar subsonic jet with millions of dollars of Saudi fuel so he can cavort with the world's foremost persecutor of Christians in a nice armani suit. Jesus said that his followers would be persecuted for their beliefs, that a sinful world would reject their message. If you preach the truth to a ruler like Kim Jong Il you end up dead or worse, not flying home with nice photo momentos. He is a charlatan. The Grahams have alarmed me for years with their ability to pander to any audience, and to water down their message so they are now revered even by Atheists. Something is very very wrong here. Quite poignant that an innocent woman was shot for stepping over the wrong line on a beach the same day Graham was visiting his buddy in Pyongyang. "IT is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven". I am worried that the riches and accolades of this world are corrupting his judgement.

And one last point. Graham claims his behavior is christ-like. Do you think Jesus would have had afternoon tea with Caesar Nero? Graham has lost all respect in my mind by dining with Satan himself and betraying his country by spreading communist propaganda that Christians are allowed to go to church in Pyongyang

you know i think its great that Graham can spread heartwarming disinformation about Kim il Sung being a nice guy. I'm glad that Sung and his father got to be such good friends while 200,000 people a year were killed or tortured in the North Korean goulag. There are horrific accounts of entire families being put into gas chambers together and the parents perfoming mouth to mouth resuscitation to keep their children alive as they choke on their own vomit. Kim Jong Il is responsible for running over Christians with steamrollers as punishment for their beliefs. And nomatter what Graham says, these attrocities are continuing today.As Shakespeare wrote "Tis time to fear when tyrants seem to kiss". As soon as his plane leaves, they will haul off the occupants of these so called "churches" and execute them. Graham will be regarded as a well intentioned traitor by history. The United States and North Korea are still technically at war and he has no business cavorting with the enemy.
