This world will never be the same without Billy Graham. It feels darker since he went to be with our Father and Christ. I still listen to the good news preached by you Dr. Graham. I hope they never take down the Billy Graham sermons of the good news of Jesus Christ. They uplift my spirit and enrich my soul.
This is very nice! Reminds me of the parables of sowing & reaping! God bless the Billy Graham family and everyone!
A great evangelical that is now with our Lord Jesus Christ. He was a great man with lots of wisdom that he shared with us to help us understand the word of God. He saved many through the word of God. I am so grateful for him. I know the Lord God sent him here with purpose. And now he is in Heaven with our Father. God bless the Graham's.
Billy Graham changed my whole with his preaching I thank God for him
Thats so awesome
Hugs 🤗 to the Graham family
Yeah well either way.... Our God will have His way!!!☝️🙌🙏💕
Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:
Deuteronomy 5:8 KJV
Amen!
Yeah.... I’m thinking not. Wrong message. Jesus said trust no man. I’m thinking this organization is settling. Christ is coming sooner than we think?!?☝️🙌🙏🤗💕

Every sculpture image, however well intentioned it may be, has always ended in idolatry and stumbling, that's why I worry! There is no middle ground in the Bible, which cannot NOT can!
JESUS Blessed!
Jose my brother... I absolutely agree!!!As for me and my house we will serve The Lord!!! There are things that must take place before His second coming . Only Our God knows the time!!Blessings to you and yours !☝️🙌🙏💕🤗

Idolatry!
He would not be in favor!😔
It's not idolatry. Nobody is worshipping them!

The first thing I thought was that it was inappropriate. Unfortunately, there should be no image at all that distracts from the glory of God. I love Billy Graham but why a statue??
“ What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe - as the Lord has assigned to each his task. 1 Corinthians 3:5
The apostle Paul would not approve. Boastful, shows a lack of humility.
A statue of Billy Graham that represents the Gospel message??? Think about that for a moment.
@@jamesmac357 Beloved, I did not quite understand what you said, but it seems that you said that I'm judging ... but I do not yell at anyone ... but even if I were ... The Bible gives me the right (Jo7: 24) if the Bible says not to make sculpture of anything neither in the sky nor under the ground .... nothing is nothing God do not doubt his Glory with anyone! It's the Holy Bible and not me! 👍 I do not understand English very well! Excuse me!
@@jamesmac357 Read ai Romans 2 from verses 1 to 12
Yes he done a great things within jesus who died and resurrected for us. We should price our god but not who worked for him .
I don’t think Billy would approve of this statue
Every man woman and child of this world, must all learn how to live by the true will of God - but through only Immanuel alone, the anointed one and of whom we all know as Jesus: For he is the only Son of man that was chosen by God to teach us, and no other man on earth. Where through him alone, we shall be saved from the evil one, and in a place of prayer where cash donations are never needed…
“Beware of false prophets, men who come to you dressed up as sheep while underneath they are savage wolves. You will recognize them by the fruits they bear.” - (Matthew 7: 15-16) -
“I am the way; I am the truth and I am life; no one comes to the Father except by me. If you knew me you would know my Father too.” - (John 14: 6-7) -
“When you pray, go into a room by yourself, and shut the door. Pray to your Father who is there in the secret place; and your Father who sees what is secret will reward you.
In your prayers do not go babbling on like the heathen, who imagine that the more they say the more likely they are to be heard.
Do not imitate them. Your Father knows what your needs are before you ask him.
This is how you should pray:
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
Your kingdom come; your will be done, on earth as in heaven,
Give us today our daily bread,
And forgive us the wrong we have done, as we have forgiven those who have wronged us.
And do not bring us to the test, but save us from the evil one.
For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, for ever.
Amen.
For if you forgive others the wrongs they have done, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; but if you do not forgive others, then the wrongs you have done will not be forgiven by your Father.” - (Matthew 6: 6-15) -

“Always treat others as you would like them to treat you: that is the Law and the Prophets.
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life and only a few find it.” - (Matthew 7: 12-14) -
“I am the gate, anyone who comes into the fold through me shall be safe” - (John 10: 9) -
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” - (Matthew 7: 21) -

“The disciples came to Jesus and asked, ‘Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven?’
He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. And he said: ‘Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of Heaven.
Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven. And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me. If anyone causes one of these little ones-those who believe in me-to stumble, It would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!’” - (Matthew 18: 1-7) -
“An expert in the law, [a leading religious Pharisee] tested him with this question: ‘Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?’ He answered, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind. That is the greatest commandment. It comes first. The second is like it: Love your neighbour as yourself. Everything in the Law and the Prophets hangs on these two commandments.’” - (Matthew 22: 35-40) -
“There is no greater love than this, that a man should lay down his life for his friends.” - (John 15: 13) -

You are under the same sentence as he. For us it is plain justice; we are paying the price for our misdeeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.’ And he said, ‘Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.’ He answered, “I tell you this: today you shall be with me in Paradise.’” - (Luke 23: 39-43) -

Oh stop it, it's only a sin if individuals WORSHIP THE IDOL,, it's not a sin that a statue of him was built, it only becomes a sin for people to WORSHIP the idol. Study the Bible, many scriptures get taken out of context because people don't STUDY
I don't agree with the idea of making statue for Mr Billy Graham, he was a good preacher.
Idolatry 101!! What is wrong with Christians today???????? What part of God's word don't some GET!!
Is this what your God told you to make? Great deception!
Evangelist Billy Graham would never have wanted to have been made a graven image. SAD
Amen
