Rev. Franklin Graham did not appreciate Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's scathing comments against the faith community during her big-ticket fundraiser event in New York City last Friday.
"Hillary Clinton was speaking to a gay and lesbian group in Manhattan when she said that half the people supporting Donald J. Trump are a basketful of deplorables — racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, and Islamophobic," Graham writes on his Facebook page. "But I wonder if she, or even you, have thought about our position before Almighty God."
The evangelist says all sins are deplorable to God. And sadly, everybody has sinned and has to face the wages of sin — death. "Sin has infected the entire human race. It's a disease of the human soul," he says.
Thankfully, Graham says God loved the world so much that He sacrificed His own son Jesus Christ. Jesus, being the only one without sin, died for people's sins to give them the opportunity to gain eternal life. All people have to do now is believe in God, confess and repent for their sins, and dedicate their lives to God.
"God is holy and cannot tolerate sin. So much so that when Jesus carried our sins to the cross, God had to turn His back and could not even look on Him," says Graham. "Jesus died for our sins, took our sins to the grave, and rose again triumphantly to life on the third day."
Graham says he feels confident about his position with God. Even though he might be "deplorable" to Clinton, he certainly isn't with God — and that is the only opinion that matters to him.
At the same time, Graham is encouraging Christians to go out and cast their votes during the upcoming elections. "The moral and political walls of our nation are crumbling but we've got an opportunity to make a difference," he says. "We can change the course of America if we pray, vote, and engage in the political process."
