I agree [regarding the recorded lectures entitled Billy Graham: Serving the Papal Antichrist]… I was a counsellor and follow-up worker at his 1986 crusade in Paris, and we had strict instructions that if someone had written “Catholic” on the card they filled in after coming forward, we had to give their card to a Catholic church in their neighbourhood… If, as you write, it was a deliberate ploy by the Roman Catholic cult, it worked.  Very sad and disappointing.  In fact, when I think about it, it reminds me of what Switzerland did during the Second World War, when it sent Jews fleeing the Nazi persecutions back to Germany!

 France

Yes I agree with you! [regarding the recorded lectures, Billy Graham: Serving the Papal Antichrist].

England

We listened to your Billy Graham messages on Sunday afternoon.  And yet the world and the “church” fawns after him!  We noticed that you preached this in 1991!  Since then, Billy just went down even more from there.  Sad!  Thank you and God bless you all.

With great approval of what you wrote about Billy Graham [the article Billy Graham: Servant of Rome, not Servant of Christ], the false teacher, I heartily shout AMEN! AMEN! and AMEN!

Billy Graham is all that you wrote and exposed about him, and even more.  Billy, like all the other false teachers of a humanist works doctrine, would collapse, including his money-making conglomerate, if the $$$$ were taken away.  He, without doubt, was speaking for the money.  Being a hypocrite, he set forth the message of helping the poor and needy, and at the same time used his deceptively and ill-gotten $$$$ to lushly and plushly assure his comfort for him and his family, while ignoring the use of his money to truly help the needy.  He hid behind the lie that he did not “own” any of the wealth surrounding him, because all that money belonged to the corporation (a front disguised as a “church” under the U.S. IRS regulations).  It does not matter who “owns” any corporation, organization, or personal entity: what matters is WHO HAS CONTROL OF THE CHECK BOOK!  In Billy’s case, he fully controlled the check book.  His actions spoke louder than his words.

The apostle wrote to born-again, elect children of God: (Col 2:8) “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.”  Such did Billy, through great deception.  Deception and human-made philosophy is ALL Billy taught (if you can give him a smidgen of light as being a teacher of any sorts).  Billy’s blundering, at best, was like a blind man, in a dark room, searching for a black cat – that did not exist.  That is, his supposed “religious” teachings can NOT be supported by the Bible (KJV).

Without question his money hungry children, especially his son, will pick up the check book and flaunt around in pursuit of $$$$ on the back of Billy’s false teachings and practices.

May it be the will of the Sovereign Lord God that you will be blessed to carry on for many years to come.  Stay safe.  God bless.

United States

Thank you for your very timely article [Billy Graham: Servant of Rome, Not Servant of Christ].  This world of apostasy and blasphemy will do, say, and worship anything, but will not exalt the God of the Bible.   I class Graham and all time-serving pulpiteers as Satanists according to 2 Cor. 11: 3,4 12-15, for I can draw no other conclusion when I read and hear what they proclaim, for what they declare is most certainly not the Gospel concerning our Lord Jesus Christ.  They neither know nor understand anything of the Atonement, and therefore they are willingly ignorant of what it took for our Lord Jesus to make propitiation for the sins of His people.  If they had any idea of the sufferings of Christ, they would, as the Scripture says, “weep in sackcloth and ashes, in godly repentance” for their great sin of unbelief; yet because of the false Arminian gospel they are led astray by these false shepherds, both men women.  Ezek. 13.

The Lord continue to bless you and keep you.

 England

I read your great documentary on the life of Billy Graham [Billy Graham: Servant of Rome, Not Servant of Christ].  It was wonderful.

 United States

We liked your article on Billy Graham.  You, and just a few others out there, are lone voices crying in the wilderness of ecumenical blindness.  I’m sure it was hard for you to edit down all the information you had available!  Graham is absolutely worshipped over here.

Here are some excerpts from Jim Bakker’s new show where his co-host suggested that Billy Graham is now one of the 24 elders around the throne.  “What if the 24 elders are the greatest spiritual leaders of all time.  Because if you look at the 12 and 12, you’re including Thomas the doubter as one of the 24 elders.  You’re including Matthias – who replaced Judas and who you never hear from again – who was chosen by drawing lots.  And some of the leaders of Israel were not that outstanding.”  Shorey continues, “If it is the 24 greatest spiritual leaders of all time, could Billy Graham be the last 24th elder?  Now, if you think about recent prophetic words that there would be like an acceleration of the Lord’s coming at his death and in Revelation 5, the Father is passing the scroll to Jesus in the presence of the 24 elders, then that means that the passing of the scroll couldn’t happen until all 24 elders were seated…take a look at Billy Graham, a man of the highest integrity…he had a higher level of integrity than some of the disciples.”  He continued, “Billy Graham, it’s safe to say, led more people to Christ than any man in history.”  This is Charismaticism & Futurism hard at work.

United States

Blessings Shaun, just to let you know we are still praying for you and your wonderful ministry.  Your latest on Billy Graham is so clear and concise, as you would know a lot of people who call themselves Christians think that he was a wonderful Godly man and they will not listen to anything or anyone who speaks against him, so Lord willing your article will help to clear the muddy waters and make them see that he was indeed doing the work for the Antichrist system of the [Roman] Catholic church and the Papacy.

Keep up the great work and remember that even though we will never meet here on this sin cursed planet we will meet in glory and see our precious Lord Jesus.  It is also a blessing and privilege to pray for you and your work and may the Lord be pleased to bless it now and always.

Your article regarding the ministry of the late Billy Graham entitled: Billy Graham: Servant of Rome, Not Servant of Christ, affords an accurate assessment of his ministry in the light of Scripture.  Instead of withstanding Rome, Billy Graham has stood with the Whore of Rev. 17 and drawn countless souls into the religion of Antichrist.  Tragically, many “professing Christians” have blindly followed this blind leader into certain destruction.  Billy Graham has taken up the cause of Rome and aligned himself with the most ferocious and fiercest enemy of the Lord Jesus Christ.

I speak as a former Roman Catholic, delivered by the grace of God from the powers of darkness and the bondage of Rome, her priestcraft, her sacramental system, her pernicious doctrines, her idolatries, her damnable heresies; who was saved by free and sovereign grace, and brought into the liberty of Christ Jesus to a saving knowledge of Him, in whose finished work at Calvary I wholly rest upon by faith.

I was truly converted to Christ some 20+ years ago when a woman I knew casually gave me a Bible. The Word of God brought me under conviction of my sins, led me to repentance and to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ unto salvation.

The fact that the worldly/secular press have throughout his life and in his death heaped accolades upon him speaks volumes.  Christ warned us of such: “Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets” (Luke 6:26).

Thank you for exposing this wolf in sheep’s clothing of whom Christ warned us: “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves” (Matt. 7:15).  You are a faithful servant of the Lord and have spoken the “truth in love” ( Eph. 4:15).

As you have rightly said in your article, The Antichrist: “Just as Christ is the Head of the true Church, so Antichrist is the head of the false ‘church’.  That false ‘church’ is the Roman Catholic institution, perfectly described for us in Rev.17; and the only head of that false ‘church’ is the pope of Rome.”

“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them” (Eph. 5:11).  “Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues” (Rev. 18:4).

United States

Your article (Billy Graham: Servant of Rome, Not Servant of Christ) is excellent.  Indeed, the story of Billy Graham is a horrifically tragic one.  If ever there was a person who SO embodied that Scripture (from Mark 8:36-38) that says: “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?  Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?  Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels” – it was Graham.  It’s absolutely unbelievable that many professing Christians are convinced that Graham was a genuine Christian.

You mentioned in your article about an email you received from a lady in France who was a “counselor” at a Graham Crusade.  Well, that got me recalling my own experience – way back in 2000 – when I, too, was a helper at a Franklin Graham crusade in Amarillo, Texas.  At the time, I was a fairly new believer.  In fact, I was converted to Christ just two years prior to participating in this huge Franklin Graham event; and sadly, I was completely ignorant about the specifics concerning the Sovereignty of God in salvation.  Understanding that vital doctrine would come a few years later in my walk with the Lord.  Also, at that time, we were attending an Arminian “church” – whereby the pastor allowed his flock (without warning) to participate in this Franklin Graham crusade.

I remember being so excited to be a part of what I thought was a good work in the Lord.  It was a thrilling three days of “witnessing” to people and believing that we were actually seeing true conversions take place… it was an Arminian operation to the core – because it  pushed that soul-damning doctrine of “decisional regeneration.”  At this event, I “counseled” four individuals.  “Counseling” essentially boiled down to helping the counselees recite the “Sinner’s Prayer.”  Sadly, I didn’t even realize that what I was doing was seriously wrong.  It wasn’t until 2004 that the Lord through His Word and by His mercy and grace gave me a sincere and abiding understanding of the doctrines of grace.  Truly, salvation is of the Lord (Psalm 62:1; Jonah 2:9).

Well, it would be another three years (from 2004) that I began to feel an overwhelming conviction for participating in that crusade.  It bothered me so badly and I worried about the souls of those individuals that I met back in 2000.  I decided, at that point, that I was going to write them all detailed letters explaining the error of “decisional regeneration”…. I still had my Franklin Graham counselor’s folder, which contained the names and the addresses of the people I had talked to back then….

In my letters, I carefully discussed why “decisional regeneration” was dangerously unscriptural; and I impressed upon them that verse from 2 Peter 1:10 that says: “Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall”…

Thank you, dear friend, for writing the truth with solid authority and providing AMPLE documentation.  I still cannot believe all of the infighting that went on (online) after Graham’s death.  There were those who should have known better – but yet they expressed hostility toward the rest of us for exposing the truth about who Graham really was.  There is NO WAY to defend a man who was SUCH a deceitful worker, false teacher, agent of Rome, blasphemer, etc., etc. – the list goes on and on.  What sad and spiritually dark times we live in.

United States

I totally disagree with your evaluation of Billy Graham.  On your argument about the “altar call”, it is not dependent on any person for salvation, but rather the “decision to receive salvation”’ is dependent on the choice a person makes.  I was so offended by your reasoning that I could not read any more of your confusion.

I am one of those who firmly believe that God used Billy Graham to be the instrument through whom many lives were transformed for the better.  For you to dishonor this great man of God is totally uncalled for.  Please remove my name from your database.  I do not want to receive any more of these defamatory publications.

(Reply to the above)

You may disagree and get offended at what I wrote about Billy Graham, but this does not concern me in the least, for the truth will always cause offence. To disagree, you have to ignore many, many pages of documented evidence.  And in fact this is precisely what you have done, since by your own admission you did not read any further after being offended by what was written about the “altar call”.  You therefore are simply not in any position to say, “I totally disagree with your evaluation of Billy Graham”, since you refused to read that evaluation, based on the reams of evidence!

The Pharisees were offended with what Jesus said (Matt. 15:12), and His response was, “Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind” (Matt. 15:14). Tragically, this is your own position at present: spiritual blindness.  For if you believe that Billy Graham was (as you said) a “great man of God”, then you do not even understand the Gospel of Christ as yet. – Shaun Willcock

The spirit and attitude in which this article [Billy Graham: Servant of Rome, Not Servant of Christ] is NOT from our Lord Jesus Christ, but from the devil.  Although some or even much of this rubbish of Willcock may be true – from his particular view – many, many, many people were saved and many of those are still alive today…

Does Willcock have any information why Graham co-operated with all those so-called false people and organisations?  I do believe his motive was purely to preach the gospel to as many people as possible.  Did Jesus fight with “the tax collectors and sinners”?  No!  He preached the gospel to them (see Lk. 15:1,2).  Wurmbrandt also criticised Graham for not condemning Communism.  What was Graham’s answer?  “My duty is to preach the gospel to them.”

South Africa

(In response)

This man is a Dutch Reformed minister.  It is amazing how so many people will justify the actions or teachings of a false minister such as Graham, simply because he supposedly “preached the Gospel to the lost” – as if this is the only work that matters, and can excuse anything a man teaches or does.  Note how this man even admits that much in the article about Graham and his evil works may be true – yet even then he defends him!  To such a low ebb has what passes for “Christianity” fallen in our times.  Sad, sad indeed. – Shaun Willcock

This is just a brief email to assure you of our prayers, particularly at this dark time for your country.  I brought the situation before our assembly prayer meeting this evening… and we spent some time praying for South Africa.  May righteousness and truth prevail.

Northern Ireland

Continuing to know much blessing from your clear writing and profound messages.  So few in our day have not only failed to master this skill but have not even acknowledged the need to apply our Christianity to world events – it is not something to be hid in a corner.  O for more spiritual exercising of the saints.  O that more Christian men would call upon the Lord to teach their hands to war in these days of great evil.  So few have mastered the pen – never mind the sword.

Wishing you and your family His loving arms about you and the everlasting arms beneath you.  “…the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits” (Daniel 11:32).  Every spiritual blessing in Christ Jesus.

Scotland

We started listening to your CD prophecy series on Daniel and are finding it most instructive.  To see that which was prophesied so long ago in God’s Word documented in the historical record of secular historians is truly remarkable, and as you say, a testimony to the accuracy and veracity of the Holy Scriptures.  Our God is all-knowing, all-wise, and all-powerful, and what a comfort to know He is our God and that He is on our side.

Isaiah 46:10: “Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure”; Psalm 118:6-7: “The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.”

We thank the Lord for raising up a faithful watchman in our day as yourself, who is himself well-taught of God to open up these deep passages of Scripture to our understanding.

United States

We look forward to reading [the book The Prophecy of Matthew 24].  It’s been years since we listened to the sermons.  We like the cover!  We’ve started your series [of recorded sermons] on The Song of Solomon and are loving it.  There is so much there!  It’s a shame that most professing Christians look at that book as nothing more than a romance novel.

We have enjoyed reading your latest “letters” [Postbox and Inbox].  The “identificational repentance” someone wrote about is growing like a wildfire here.   Everywhere, so-called Evangelical leaders are pushing this idea that all “white Christians” need to repent and ask forgiveness of “black Christians” for the crimes committed by our forefathers.  And of course it’s only whites who have ever had slaves, not Arabs or other people… They go so far as to say that the Gospel of Jesus Christ includes racial reconciliation!  They love their skin color, not Christ; they are as racist as any white supremacist….  One “in” famous black Evangelical, Thabiti Anyabwile, said that every white is guilty of Martin L. King’s death because their parents and grandparents helped foster the racial prejudice which led to his death. These people are mad.  I got out your sermons on Racial Conflict and Christianity that we listened to years ago.  Everything you speak of is happening here now.

United States

I am half way through your Matthew 24 book [The Prophecy of Matthew 24].  You did a very fine job with it.  Anyone without an understanding on these things should be able to see clearly, after reading your book, what these verses are speaking of.  Reading the many details you included about 70AD really makes you realize once again, that without our God’s grace on all men, we would be the cruelest beasts!

United States

We received the latest batch of CDs you sent us in yesterday’s mail.  We are making our way through the Book of Daniel and presently are listening to Chapter 8.  We are both struck by Shaun’s command of the material he is presenting.  He presents the facts in a very understandable format.  He is articulate, precise and well-prepared.  We are impressed with the ease in which he quotes Scripture and his knowledge of the historical record as well and are finding these studies to be most instructive and edifying.  It is truly a blessing to see how the historical record tallies with the prophecies given to Daniel.  And as Shaun has said, it so wonderfully testifies to the veracity of God’s Word!
