Well, I have already suspended by blog holiday (briefly). Brooks Alexander alerted me to this www.youtube.com.
clip of George Bush speaking of who goes to heaven. Apparently, just about everyone does. True, this exchange is less than two minutes of "conversation" and it is television; but, nevertheless, one would expect better from a self-described Christian.
So where in the interview with Billy Graham did he say that there are many roads to heaven?
ReplyDeleteAnd whatever Billy did say, I might think that the appropriate response would not involve such ridicule. Hasn't his long, faithful journey earned him that much?
Bush was doing well...till that one question.
ReplyDeleteAs for Billy Graham, I agree with Tom. It seems that his long, faithful service, and his constant pointing to the cross should far outweigh a comment in Newsweek. He is right. We do not know who goes to Heaven, and we should leave that to God. DOes that mean I do not believe Jesus is THE way, THE truth, THE life? No. I do believe that, and I believe B.G. does too.
But there are questions we may not understand, or be able to answer, till we know as we are known.
