Franklin Graham tells Jimmy Carter that Jesus would kill gay people, not marry them

[DonViejo]

By Bil Browning · Thursday, July 12, 2018

Responding to former President Jimmy Carter’s statement that Jesus would support same-sex marriage, Trump supporter and supposed Christian, Franklin Graham launched a blistering attack on Facebook.

Jesus wouldn’t bless gay couples, the far right minister says. Instead, God would kill them all.

“Jesus didn’t come to promote sin, He came to save us from sin,” Graham wrote. “The Bible is very clear. God destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah because of homosexuality. God defines sin in His Word—it’s not up to our opinion, the latest poll, or a popular vote.”

“God loves us and gives us the truth in His Word. He warns us of the serious consequences of sin,” Graham finished before launching into one of the Bible verses that evangelicals use to condemn LGBT people.

[DinahMoeHum]

5. Hey, Franklin. . .

FUCK YOUR "BUY-BULL"

[hlthe2b]

6. If that were true, "God" would have already taken out Franklin Graham.

He just keeps getting more and more disgusting.

[mn9driver]

7. Frankie seems to be confused about what religion he thinks he belongs to.

Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.

It’s about as simple as can be. Carter gets it and has lived his life according to it. Frankie, not so much.

[Solly Mack]

8. Shut up, Frankie

You manky, desiccated bell end.

[SamKnause]

9. Fuck you Graham.

You are diseased.

You are showing your stupidity.

Sodom and Gomorrah had nothing to do with homosexuality.

Fuck off !!!

[Aristus]

10. I can just imagine Jimmy Carter smiling pleasantly,

and politely refuting Graham in that lovely Georgia accent of his.

Jimmy Carter is a national treasure.

[gabeana]

25. so true

[Rhiannon12866]

45. Here's the interview:

In an interview with HuffPost Live, Carter, a born-again Christian, was asked about his personal views on homosexual marriage. "That's no problem with me," the Democratic former president replied. "I think that everybody should have a right to get married, regardless of their sex."

Later on in the interview, Carter said he believes Jesus would "approve" of gay marriage, though he doesn't "have any verse in Scripture" to back that up. "I think Jesus would encourage any...love affair if it was honest and sincere and was not damaging to anyone else and I don't see that gay marriage damages anyone else," he said.

11. What a contortion of an inconsistant ancient philosophy.

It's all hate speech on Graham's part using arbitrary snippets from archaic collections haphazardly compiled over millennia. It's easier to form or defend an ideology when the materials, let alone the audience, are so easily manipulated.

[world wide wally]

12. Then God will surely destroy America for all the lying and corruption which are

actually "IN" the 10 Commandments.

[Initech]

13. Genocide is not exactly what one would call "Jesus-like".

What a fucking asshole. I hope Franklin burns in the fiery pits of hell.

[RKP5637]

14. Franklin Graham, hell's demented asshole! n/t

[WePurrsevere]

15. Graham really needs to learn what the Bible originally said and Jesus taught.

President Carter actually gets it... Graham doesn't and doesn't truly want to.

Graham's no follower of what Jesus taught but rather another "false prophet", a spreader of hate, fear and lies, selling ignorance, have and fear based redemption to those unable to think critically and research for themselves. His greed, hate and hypocrisy is as bottomless as the black pit he and the other 'goats' will someday fall into.

[roamer65]

16. You had better pray we never have anarchy, Frankie.

666.

[chowder66]

17. Franklin would kill Jesus once he laid eyes on him. nt

[Blue_true]

23. He and his ilk would have to kill Jesus.

They can't have some radical feeding the hungry, protecting the defenseless and caring for the sick.

Why, taht would jist be purl anarchee, darling.

[chowder66]

32. There's That... and they might just flip out that he doesn't look like a white long haired model. nt

[Blue_true]

39. Yeah, that too. nt

[GoCubsGo]

18. LOL!!! Elmer Gantry is lecturing Jimmy Carter?

GMAFB!

[NickB79]

19. Sodom and Gomorrah had nothing to do with homosexuality

[Bradical79]

43. Good article.

The author does an excellent job backing up the argument with the overall theme of radical inhospitality vs. radical hospitality that surrounds the story.

[Nonhlanhla]

20. Idiot

Evangelical 'Christianity ' is heretical. They also have no clue about the Bible, as evidenced by his BS interpretation of the Sodom and Gemorra story, which had to do with hospitality, not homosexuality.

[QC]

21. "Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom,

pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy."

Ezekiel 16:49 King James Version (KJV)

Sounds to me like they were Republicans.

[Blue_true]

28. Sure does, to a T. nt

[Blue_true]

22. You know.

If God hates gay people so much, why were they created to begin with? Can any of you that call yourself religious answer that fundamental question? Would you give birth to a child only to destroy that child?

[Mariana]

24. This god created all the things he hates

if the stories are true. Creating gay people so he can hate them while they're alive and torture them forever after they die isn't out of character at all for this god.

The real question is why any decent person would worship such a god.

[Blue_true]

31. Most ancient religions pre single God religions had several gods.

Each was worshiped for a specific reason, and often the gods had rivalries where they would basically trash people that worshiped their rival God. When the single God religions came about many centuries before Christianity, believers transferred the rivalry between the gods to rivalries between each other, hence droughts and floods being visited upon rivals and doors of the good being marked so that death angels can strike dead a specific person in unmarked homes (which sort of ignores the possibility that an all seeing angel would know which houses to strike without any being marked). The history of religion is facinating, how certain ritual came about has roots that go back centuries before modern religions even came about.

[SummerSnow]

26. Is he suggesting that LGBT people should be executed?

[Ferrets are Cool]

37. Is there any doubt? nt

[SummerSnow]

38. No. it's just that evil is so natural to people it shocks me sometimes

[NightWatcher]

27. Let's continue the age old argument over what an imaginary being would think.

[Buckeyeblue]

29. I respect President Carter but invoking god doesn't help

It merely sets the premise that there is a god and allows all of these New Christians to come in with a twisted interpretation of a bible that they have never read. The New Christians have set up a religion that rewards them for their ignorance and holds them blameless for their abject poverty. It supports their notions of white supremacy, while giving them many enemies to wage their wars against. That is why we are in the position we are in.

[Demovictory9]

30. ugh.

[Matthew28]

33. sick

Evil bastard.

Being gay is real, while your religion is based on nothing but myths. You want to kill people for being who they're and justify such based on lies.

Sick

[milestogo]

34. Franklin Graham is spectacularly unfamiliar with the teachings and person of Jesus.

[CozyMystery]

35. Geez, Frnaklin Graham refers to a cold, heartless, criminal God. Glad I'm an atheist now. NT

[Ferrets are Cool]

36. You stupid, lying, m'fucking bastard.

You make me want to puke. I would do it in your fucking face and laugh.

[sarcasmo]

40. Republican Jesus makes me ill.

[Oneironaut]

41. Sooo - Jesus is really Hitler, then?

Or, he was just like Hitler?

Help me understand just how many innocent women and children Jaysus demands his followers mow down with machine gun fire.

[Raine]

42. I find it hard to believe that his father Billy

shared that opinion, if he did he kept it to himself.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

44. Hateful motherfucker

Isn't he?
