‘You’re Trying to Put Words in My Mouth:‘ Franklin Graham Spars With O’Donnell Over Obama’s Faith

This weekend, Rev. Franklin Graham (son of Billy) shocked the media when he seemed to question the president’s place of birth, or at least wondered why the president won’t produce his birth certificate. Lawrence O’Donnell took notice, and on Monday night, he invited Graham on the program for one of his trademarked, contentious interviews.
In it, O’Donnell tried to blast Graham for seeming to support Donald Trump. But the real fireworks came when O‘Donnell played part of Graham’s weekend ABC interview in which he said this about Obama’s faith:
“For him, going to church means he’s a Christian. For me, the definition of a Christian is whether we have given our life to Christ and are following him in faith, and we have trusted him as our Lord and Savior. That’s the definition of a Christian, it’s not as to what church you’re a member of. A membership doesn’t make you a Christian.”
“So, Rev. Graham, the president telling you he‘s a Christian isn’t good enough for you,” O’Donnell asked smugly. “I suppose anyone telling you they‘re a Christian isn’t good enough for you because of the definition you just laid out there. Because you don‘t look into the person’s heart. ”
Graham responded: “You’re trying to put words in my mouth.”
How did it end? Well, O‘Donnell is convinced Graham’s a Christian. See below:

Posted on April 26, 2011 at 11:30amI bet at least 50% of people who say they believe in a deity really don’t. They simply say they do to remain part of their social group or to avoid creating rifts among their families. A lot of people have doubts and it’s just too hard for them to come out. But I do know people who have de-converted. It‘s OK to say you don’t believe, that you don’t know.

Posted on April 26, 2011 at 6:30pmLiberal_Atheist_Critical_Thinker, you say “I bet at least 50% of people who say they believe in a deity really don’t. They simply say they do to remain part of their social group or to avoid creating rifts among their families.”
There are probably some that would do that, but from my experience, it is a much, much smaller percentage. Most people don’t wish to lie, not even about this. I did know one man who took his family to church simply because it looked good. I don’t know anyone who tells such a lie to stay in the good graces of their families.
I do know many people who have questions, some great questions, and we have a great time going to the scriptures to find the answers. One thing for sure, you can’t make yourself believe. Don’t check your brains at the door (that would be directly against scripture that tells you to use your mind). Most families that I know, have been taught, and teach, that honesty is the best policy (and it is scriptural).
You say “A lot of people have doubts and it’s just too hard for them to come out.” I disagree. I know no one who cannot express doubts where they exist. We Christians do this all the time. It strengthens us. It would be foolish to have questions and not seek the answer. How would you ever hear the truth? How could you use the intelligence God gave you if you refused to ask questions?
And, you say “But I do know people who have de-converted. It‘s OK to say you don’t believe, that you don’t know.”
While you may know people who have “de-converted,” scripture would not support that. You can walk away from Christ, but you will always feel his presence – if you had once been saved.. Sure it is okay to say you don’t believe, or that you don’t know. Skepticism is fantastic. God gave us skepticism because he didn’t want blind faith. But, he does expect you to use what he gave you, to ultimately see what is true, and that your journey towards truth is valid.
G.K. Chesterton is quoted as saying “If there was no God, there would be no Atheists.” Supposedly, he was brilliant. Seems a lot of brilliant people have used their minds to question God. In that there is no shame, and consquently, way far less than 50% of people in the church fear sharing their doubts. My experience leads me to reject your argument.

Posted on April 26, 2011 at 11:24amFranklin Graham only wants theTRUTH from Obama — as we all do. If Obama is a Christian, he has to tell the truth when asked a question. Why does Obama believe that he can ignore questions on his birth certificate? That is JUST as bad as people saying that they “believe” he was born in Hawaii. IT’S NOT WHAT YOU “BELIEVE” — IT’S WHAT YOU CAN PROVE!!!!
Report Post »There is MORE than enough proof that Obama was NOT born in Hawaii -and, that, instead, he was born in Kenya. His own grandmother said she was present at his birth, and when coerced to change her statement that he was born in Hawaii, she did not state that. Instead, a translator took it upon himself to say Obama was born in Hawaii. The CRUX of this translated interview by Ron McRae, is that in the end, the grandmother NEVER changed her statement that SHE WAS PRESENT WHEN OBAMA WAS BORN because she NEVER went to Hawaii at that point – never. Making her initial statement the TRUTH — that he WAS born in Kenya. This is only ONE of manyFACTS that make Obama INELIGIBLE to be President. Rev. Graham — we are waiting with you forObama’s proof………………………………….

I think it is wonderful how Franklin uses every opportunity to insert Jesus into the conversation.
Report Post »The Bible tells us that we will know a person by the fruit that they produce in their lives. Are they a tree that bears good fruit, or are they a tree that bears bad fruit. When we look at Obama, he tries to tell us that he is a Christian, but the fruit that he bears shows us something quite to the contrary. He believes in social justice…not found in Scripture. He believes in collective salvation…not found in Scripture. He surrounds himself with communists, socialists, seems to have a special love for marxists, and he is a progressive pushing a progressive agenda. None of that shows the workings of a true Christian; in fact, quite the contrary. He seeks control of people, but a Christian does not seek to have control over anyone; satan desires to control human beings and destroy them. Obama‘s past history with Jeremiah Wright’s church shows us what type of a man he is as well. This is the church that he chose to attend for 20 years…that speaks volumes to us; or at least it should.
A True Christian is Christ-“like”. He would resemble Christ. The old sinful nature is set aside, and we become a new spiritual man, led by God/Jesus/Holy Spirit. We are given a measure of wisdom and faith when we receive Jesus Christ as Savior, and then the Holy Spirit lives in us and becomes our guide, our teachers, and our Comforter. We develop a conscience, and we pass from darkness (ignorance) to light (knowledge). We begin to change our ways, living right and good lives, and moral lives. Our conscience BEARS WITNESS that we are the Sons/Daughters of God. If Obama was truly a Christian, he would change course, and stop trying to destroy this nation, for I think Glenn Beck, over the last two years, laid out a plan that Obama and his minions have that seeks a one world order, and the complete destruction of America. If Obama is a Christian, then everything about him and his ways just doesn’t add up. We have every right to question a man’s character, including Obama’s. There is absolutely nothing wrong with questioning that.

Posted on April 26, 2011 at 3:02pmI love this! Old Larry was trying to embarrass Franklin Graham and instead he gave him an opportunity to preach the message of salvation on live TV! Yes! Go Franklin! I’m proud of him.

Posted on April 26, 2011 at 3:09pmBarrack Obama has not convinced me that he is a Christian. He has said he believes in “collective salvation”. There is no such thing mentioned in the Bible. Salvation comes from personal and individual submission to Christ.

I can answer your stupid question of “I wonder why he hasn‘t expressed any concern over Donald Trump’s faith. Seems like we have a double standard here.”
Donald Trump hasn’t changed his name since birth to a Muslim name like Mohamed Trump or something like Barry has to Barrack Hussein.

Posted on April 26, 2011 at 3:23pmJust goes to show how insane and ridiculous O‘Donnell is when he reads his own ’chosen’ definition of what a Christian is, (from the Bible), and then without any evidence whatsoever, he announces that Obama fits that discription and is a Christian. So why does he think Obama has given up all that he has to follow Jesus? What evidence is there that Obama is a Christian? I think we all can give valid reasons why he might not be a Christian from all the ungodly things he says and does.

Of course you have a double standard, jzs, it’s been apparent in most of your posts.
On the other hand, in answer to your wonder, the interviewers did not ask him about Trumps faith, did they?. If they had, I bet he’d have said the same thing about Donald that he said about Barry (unlike you).

13When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
14And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
15He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
16And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
18And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
19And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Posted on April 26, 2011 at 5:50pmIn this clip, O’Donnell (like many, many people) shows his total lack of understanding of how one gets to Heaven. If anyone reading this comment does not know if they are going to Heaven or not, please, please, please, replay the video again and again, and listen to Franklin explain what John 3:16 clearly says, then consider if you can put your entire trust in Jesus. If not, ask Him for some help in those areas that you are defending.

Posted on April 26, 2011 at 6:41pmOf course he is not his father, why in the world would you expect him to be??? Good grief! I think that with times so bad he feels like he is a lone soul shouting out the truth in a enviroment filled with noise. I note that his father and the perious Pat Robertson say they regret ever getting involved in politics. Graham Sr. with Nixon and Robertson with Carter. I think I would chose someone other than Donald Trump to support though. I think if people see that Trump has a snow ball in hell;s chance of beating Obama they will follow him like sheep right off the cliff.

Posted on April 26, 2011 at 6:54pm@sonnetswan: A muslim? Really? Don’t you think that that would cause an uproar in the Islamic world? A Muslim attending a Christian church for over 20 years….. He may have sympathetic leanings to the Muslims but he isn’t one… in fact I don’t think Obama has a religion.
If you’re going to find fault with this President at least stick to the things that REALLY matter… border security….. eroding of our rights….. the budget… etc… Leave the religion where it belongs, in the houses of worship.

Posted on April 26, 2011 at 11:02pmHey Sparky, I’m just posing questions. Trump has been married three times, is notorious for his infidelity, has filed for bankruptcy four times (which means that four times his investors and vendors lost money that he could have from his personal wealth, but didn’t pay them.
Has he ever gone to church? Is associated with any good cause – you know what I mean, besides making money and Mrs. America and his game show. Can you name a selfless Christian act of his?
Sparky, I don’t want to get into a battle, although I love a good fight, but really, what is it about Donald Trump you support. It can‘t be his religious views because he hasn’t expressed any that I’m aware of. It can’t be his good, Christian works, unless you can point some of those out to me.
The only appeal I see is that he is against Obama. Is there any other reason you support him, my good, Christian friend?

Posted on April 26, 2011 at 11:32pmLarry sure worked Ol’ Franklin. Allowing himself to be putt on the defensive like that did not do him well, Franklin should have just used scripture as he knows it, then he could have used the time to win a few more souls for Christ. But instead he allowed a bully to set the tone and tenor of the intervirew and made him argue from place of weakess. 2 Timothy 1:7 (New International Version, ©2011)

YOU ARE WRONG!! The actions of being a Christian are not to be hidden behind walls or subjected to location. They are intended to be exhibited in your daily existance, In your interactions with others, and apparent in the words your speak, AT ALL TIMES, IN ALL PLACES, without regard for, and maybe even in spite of, the possibility of ridicule or judgement of others. It would be a sin for a christian to behave any other way. We here in the heartland call that kind of phony religeous anchoring exactly what it is… HYPOCRACY!! For the educated and TWO FACED LIAR for the laymen among us.
AND as far as Mr. Obama being relected… My dog Lucky stands a better chance of being elected than The TWO FACED LIAR and OPPORTUNIST currently holding the position.
I wanna hear him preach the gospel and mean it! or maybe even the lords prayer! how about taking communion and getting blessed with holy water. How about Tithing instead of Zakat. Wonder if he even know what these rituals are and what they are for… This jerk even took the Christ out of Christmas at the white house (remember the “holiday tree” & “holiday” season)

Posted on April 27, 2011 at 8:12amJZS, if you were simply posing questions, you would have said “I wonder why he hasn‘t expressed any concern over Donald Trump’s faith?”
But that’s not what you did, because you also said “Seems like we have a double standard here.”
So, why do you attempt to fib about what you did?
I reponded in truth, that at least in the video clip, no one asked him that question, so you can’t “assume” what he’d have said in response, and therefore, there is no “double standard” that you ACCUSED Mr. Graham of. That’s not right for you to do, to try to expunge the character of a man of integrity by posing falsehoods.
