Billy Graham Endorses New Age Occultist

....Sir John Marks Templeton

As you have seen so far, we have provided many of Graham's links to Freemasonry and awards that Freemasons have presented to him.
Many of you out there are still skeptical about the character of Billy Graham.
Presented in this article is irrefutable evidence that Graham has truly departed from the faith and now endorses a New Age Billionaire.

 

 

Here is the book authored by John Marks Templeton entitled
"Discovering the Laws of Life." As you can see 33rd Degree Freemason Norman Vincent Peale wrote the foreword to the book. Christianity Today (4/24/94) placed an advertisment for this book including quotes from 33rd Degree Freemason Robert Schuller and also 33rd Degree Freemason Billy Graham endorsing this evil New Age book.

One extract from this book states the following.....
Calling the belief that Christ is the only way to heaven, dogmatism and pride, Templeton declares: "[T]he basic principles for leading a 'sublime life'... may be derived from any religious tradition, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist and others, as well as Christian" (pages 6-7).

Another New Age teaching we can attribute to John is the false doctrine that God is within all people and that there is no sinful nature in mankind.
"Our inate goodness is an essential fact of our existance. When we percieve this truth we will experience Heaven on Earth - peace and the presence of God within us...be honest and true. Love all parts of yourself, the GODHEAD within you."

Templeton and his neopagan views were first introduced to the church and promoted to evangelicals in 1986 by Robert Schuller, who continues to endorse him. Schuller's Possibilities magazine put Templeton's picture on its front cover, and its major article in that issue was an interview with Templeton. In it he expressed his Unity/Religious Science/New Age beliefs: "Your spiritual principles attract prosperity to you... material success... comes... from being in tune with the infinite.... The Christ spirit dwells in every human being whether the person knows it or not... nothing exists except God." (Possibilities, Summer 1986, pp 8-12).

This is rank New Age heresy! Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." There is NO OTHER WAY to God but thru JESUS CHRIST !!!!
The Word of God teaches that only those who have placed their faith in the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ to cleanse their sins and are truly born again have God dwell inside them.
Why would Billy Graham endorse such a book that contains such anti-biblical teachings?
The answer is simple! In 1982, Graham was awarded the Templeton Prize for progress in religion.
This award is currently the highest paid in the world, at an estimated 1 Million US dollars.

Billy Graham receives the 'payoff' from Freemason Prince Philip.

This is what I define a Masonic award.
These awards have Masonic connections.
In this case Graham's award is presented to him by a Freemason. Also seen at my Masonic Award and Praises for Billy Graham page is Graham receiving his medal by two 33rd Degree Freemasons.

Why are Freemasons involved in awarding Billy Graham?

 

 

Another Masonic connection : John Marks Templeton is a Rhodes Scholar
Rhodes scholarships were founded by Cecil Rhodes who was a Freemason according to the Masonic reference book called "Denslow's 10,000 Famous Freemasons". (Vol IV page 29-30)
Cecil Rhodes was a member of the Illuminati and a friend of the Masonic Rothchild family.
Many Masons that have been in a powerful position in society are also Rhodes scholars such as Bob Hawke the ex-PM Australia and Bill Clinton to name a few.

Denslow's 10,000 Famous Freemasons also lists Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh as a Mason.
"Philip was initiated in Navy Lodge No.2612 of London on Dec 5, 1952. Present at the initiation were the Earl of Scarbrough, grand master, q.v., and Geoffrey Fisher, archbishop of Canterbury." (Vol 2 p6)

Other recipents of the Templeton award include Charles Colson and Bill Bright.

Billy Graham has received 2 other Masonic awards that I am currently aware of.
This information will be posted as soon as possible.
