What Do You Think About Billy Graham? Is He Genuine?

I think he was a talented preacher, and probably does have a geniune faith in God (although only God and Billy know for sure).

I like to listen to his messages a lot. I know he isn’t perfect, and his life has not been without some controversy and scandals (the whole Nixen/Jew comments for example).

But overall I like him. I have read a couple of his books as well.

I like a lot of other preachers as well. I don’t always agree with their theology or views about every issue, but I think it is great to listen to their points and ideas.

It was sad when his wife recently passed away. Billy is not in the best of health anymore. He has been battling cancer, and had several health issues over the past few years. So I do think he has much more time with us. But he has had a great life, preached to millions, lived in old age, and more.

The thing to remember is that we can’t look too closely at anyone in this life, because we have all done wrong and committed sins. Christ should be the ultimate example that we look to see how to live our lives in a way that pleases God. That is how I try to view it. There is no such thing as a perfect preacher or perfect person, even if they try really hard.

Are Mega Churches and Prosperity Gospel Teachings Bad?

It is really sad that churches get massive buildings with state-of-the-art equipment. Have big fancy suits, clothes, jewelry, cars, mansions, etc.

Yet there are homeless people everywhere, starving children, people that will die tomorrow if they don’t get a pill that costs $2, etc.

Not that I have anything against any particular church or pastor. But in general I feel like they aren’t being good stewards with the money they are being given. Many are just taking very large salaries, and living a life of extreme luxury.

I don’t think there is anything wrong with having money, or even being somewhat wealthy. But I think it is totally wrong convincing people that “everything will be okay…just keep tithing.” That isn’t the way it works at all.

God never promises wealth if you tithe to your preacher. He never promises an easy or stress free life if you believe in Him either. You must work hard to manage your finances properly, and you will have struggles and hardships whether you follow God’s word or not.
