Rev. Franklin Graham Apologizes For Refusing to Say Obama Is a Christian

It’s been a week since the Rev. Franklin Graham set off media mayhem over his refusal to admit that President Barack Obama is a Christian. As you may recall, he declined to say that Obama is, in his view, a believer during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
But now, only one week later, the prominent faith leader has issued an apology over the incident saying that he regrets “any comments I have ever made which may have cast any doubt on the personal faith of our president, Mr. Obama.”
Graham went on to clarify his reasons for not supporting the nation’s top leader as a presidential candidate, while also offering him a direct “I’m sorry.” Additionally, he made it clear that his main opposition to Obama centers upon his support for abortion and same-sex marriage.
“I apologize to him and to any I have offended for not better articulating my reason for not supporting him in this election — for his faith has nothing to do with my consideration of him as a candidate,” Graham said in the statement.
See Graham’s original MSNBC comments, below:
In addition to making these comments, Graham also recognized Obama’s self-declaration that he is, indeed, a Christian (read the apology in its entirety).
“The president has said he is a Christian and I accept that (and have said so publicly on many occasions),” he continued.
The statement was issued following a letter that was composed by various faith leaders associated with the NAACP.
(Related: See the Results of The Blaze Faith Poll)
“We were disturbed and disappointed by statements…that questioned whether President Obama is a Christian,” the leaders wrote. “Rev. Graham also seemed to imply that the president may be a Muslim, despite the fact that the president has repeatedly expressed his faith and belief in Jesus Christ.”

Posted on February 29, 2012 at 2:11pmRev. Franklin Grahams can’t say obama is a Christian how in the he(( can he admit that he is one, only obama can ADMIT to what he is. And he is a muslim and according to his koran he can lie about it, he was born a muslim– Has anyone heard him denounce his muslim faith and state he is now a Christian?

Posted on February 29, 2012 at 2:38pmI agree with those who say no apology was needed. Except if such was called for to avoid putting a stumbling block in some ignorant or weak Christians path. I weary of Christians who believe the need apologize for every act-just because someone whines I am first among those who finds that all too often it is I and not some one else that has put the stumbling blocks in my path. The fruit of the tree called the Obama doctrine /or administration IF Christian cannot be reconciled to the doctrines of Jesus Christ.And I cannot vote for him-nor support him no matter what My Brother in Christ Franklin Graham might say.

Four years ago I was put out, after his father made the announcement about how wonderful it would be if Hillary Clinton becoming the President. I wrote and told them that was the same thing as an endorsement and I didn’t appreciate it.

Posted on March 1, 2012 at 9:18amI have not heard or read our president express his faith in Jesus as savior. I have heard him identify himself as a Christian, but that is different. Many when Christ will return will say “Lord, Lord” and He will say He never knew them. Saying you are a Christian is a very different thing from being saved by your belief in Jesus.

Posted on March 1, 2012 at 1:44pmVery disappointed in Franklin’s apology! There is never a reason for backing up or down when you are standing on truth. As has been stated here “many claim the name of Christian” without even ascribing the Biblical definition to the claim. Just because I buy a bat, glove and put on a Dodgers jersey doesn’t make me a professional ball player. Notice that Jesus says to those calling themselves Christian attributing it to their acts of supposed faith “I never Knew you’. Huge because Jesus criteria seems to be whether or not He knows us. Knowing the True and Living God will bring a change in us of course. Look; stop, look and listen to what this man says and stands for and the debate is over. I challenge anyone to bring to the table one thing that points to this President being known by our Lord and Savior!!

Now, we know you cannot serve two masters because you will certainly come to love the one more than the other. It’s obvious what this President is by illegally running for, getting on a ballot, let alone all of the things he does AGAINST the Christian faith! I never thought I’d see all of this evil in “fast motion” in my life! If you compare our country just twenty (20) years ago….it was different even then! We need to pray for all Christians everywhere!

Posted on February 29, 2012 at 2:34pmI have one thing to say to Rev Graham – You are not the Judge – God is and God will Judge all believers and non believers. I would have told those Reporters, it is not up to me to Judge – we all will be Judge on Judgement Day.
Oh Yes – we all will all die once – and then the Judgement. Even Hitler, Obama and Mohammed will be Judge by God and God is not going to ask Rev Graham for his opinion.
I love the Grahams, but I am so disappointment in them – they spent their whole life helping people find Jesus and did not one moment helping them keep Jesus in their heart or teaching us what it takes to be a Christian.
A Christian would not turn his back on the Jews or Israel.
A Christian would not vote for a candidate that wants to enslave people.
A Christian would not purposely lie, cheat, steal or Kill to get an agenda across – Good example “Fast and Furious”
A Christian would not add to or take anything away form the Bible for his own self gain
A Christian would not spread lies to eliminate the Catholic Church.
A Christian would not vote for Obama – not for Food Stamp, Welfare, Obama Cell Phones or Birth Control Pills.
The False Profit is coming – are you arm with the Word of God in order to make a Christian decision – or are you one of those that Jesus said would be the decisive. There are many and Rev Graham is one of them.

Posted on February 29, 2012 at 4:12pmDB321 I think you need to clear your mind of all the crap your fed related to what the Bible says and does not say. On a side note a prophet is called of God, not by men. Obama can not become a prophet by doing things that lift of up God; it’s much more than that. He can certainly be a follower of Christ though if he actually does that.
Here is how I know I am a Christian…
Verse 12: And now, my sons, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that you must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.
The question really is what is your foundation and I know as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints it is built on the most strong foundation, which is upon the rock of the true living Christ.
Seems to me a lot of so called Christians have built on the wrong foundation. Many Christians accepting homosexuality, liberalism, socialism, man made doctrines, sexual immorality, and the list goes on and on.

Posted on February 29, 2012 at 2:00pmEvery man, woman and child has the agency to believe in who or what they may. If you believe God is a butterfly, that is your right. However, when you associate yourself with a religion you open yourself up to being critiqued against that religion.
Christianity has a wide range of views. Some select certain doctrines and ignore other doctrines. Others choose differing doctrines and choose to ignore their own selective doctrines. Christianity (as it was called shortly after the life of Christ) believed in all of Christ’s doctrines. They were led by Apostles receiving divine revelation who continued to preach and reveal Christ’s doctrines. Therefore one who claims to be a Christian should be compared to the doctrines of Christ found throughout the New Testament.
Unfortunate for Obama, he doesn’t score well in such a critique. In fact, his actions tend to show him as more of an enemy to Christianity than as a friend.

The President says he is and only God and he knows for sure. In fact, Jesus states that many who claimed to be Christians, he will say to them “depart, I never knew you!”…
One thing about Franklin Graham I love, he will always figure out how to deliver the gospel message during any interview aired on one of the networks, every time. This is why he brought up the question, “what is a Christian?” and not because he was questioning the President’s faith. It gave Franklin a chance to explain what a Christian is by delivering the gospel…neat, huh.

Posted on February 29, 2012 at 1:58pmWell….this is disappointing. I know he means well but as a “fellow” Christian, I really wish that Christians would handle these things better. Do homework before interviews (see below). Then use his own words and give the definition for “Christian” (thru Jesus ONLY) & leave it, don’t apologize. Do they not know what John the Baptist did? He rebuked the king in public for his sinful “marriage” – no apology & led to his beheading.
“The most detailed and fascinating explanation of .Obama’s faith came in a 2004 interview he gave Chicago Sun-Times columnist Cathleen Falsani when he was running for U.S. Senate in Illinois
OBAMA:
….This is something that I‘m sure I’d have serious debates with my fellow Christians about. I think that the difficult thing about any religion, including Christianity, is that at some level there is a call to evangelize and prostelytize. There’s the belief, certainly in some quarters, that people haven‘t embraced Jesus Christ as their personal savior that they’re going to hell.
FALSANI:
You don’t believe that?
OBAMA:
I find it hard to believe that my God would consign four-fifths of the world to hell.
I can’t imagine that my God would allow some little Hindu kid in India who never interacts with the Christian faith to somehow burn for all eternity.
That’s just not part of my religious makeup.”

Posted on February 29, 2012 at 1:39pmGutless wonders. Evangelical at it again.
Wrong-Wing Santorum is wrong for the GOP, wrong for America.
Again, the Evangelicals haved handed the Gov’t to the Democrats, except this time is at the absolute worse possibly time in our country’s history. Obama wins re-election in a landslide and our country is destroyed by the Socialists.

Posted on April 2, 2012 at 1:11pmWhat a ridiculous comment. The President of the United States is a Christian and he stands by his Christian Value. How could a true Christian blame the poor in this country for all of our countrys woes?
Report Post »Why would a true Christian stand up for the 1% while turning their backs on the poor and middle class? The Bible teaches us that we must never turn our backs on the poor. Do we need to change our welfare system. Yes. We cant allow people to stay on welfare all of their lives and continue to have more children when they have no means of supporting them. I think that Democrats and Republicans can agree on this.
We are in a total mess in this country and the truth is, our government, Republicans and Democrats alike have failed us. Large Corporations have failed us even while they were getting their tax breaks, incentives and loopholes galore. If tax breaks created jobs, where are the jobs”? China and India? The idea that trickle down economics works is ridiculous. The idea that somehow being a Christian makes a difference is ridiculous. The Republicans who claim to run on Christian and Family Values are not putting Christians or Families first. They are supporting the 1% that created this mess by paying off our politicians. Can we really blame Large Corporations though? Or should we be blaming the politicians who have allowed themselves to be bought? I think there is enough blame for both to be found guilty. Until we get the money out of politics, nothing will get better.
