The Father of Big Eva

06 February 2024

I hope I've made it clear that Radix Fidem is not a part of the evangelical movement. I'm not saying evies can't enjoy some of what we have to say, but that we don't promote the doctrines associated with evangelicals. Surely, the things we've taught here would have turned them off. We do not support "altar-call" evangelism or Decision Theology.

Historically, I suppose few public figures have done more to build the American evangelical movement than Billy Graham. Sometime in the past few decades, I got the impression he had been hiding a lot of stuff he didn't want the public to know. It was nothing about his personal life; he was clean as a whistle, so far as I can find. Rather, he was a major promoter of Christian Zionism and other things I knew were not from God.

How little I knew. Now I understand why he specifically forbade his organization from evangelizing Jews. Indeed, I understand a whole lot more.

The article ends with some evidence that can be taken one of two ways. In a private conversation with then President Nixon, Graham confided that he despised Jews. Either he was baiting Nixon and spying on behalf of his Jewish handlers, or Graham never had the balls to preach his own convictions. I'll let you decide. I recommend reading this long piece.

Either way, this kind of historical review helps to understand just how we got into this mess we are in today.

That explains a lot. He quite possible never did meet Hearst, his sense of discernment in accord with ambition was all he needed.

"This explains a lot" was exactly the words I used when sending that piece to a number of my associates as well. The drooling devotion of so many Christians to the Zionists always puzzled me. Now I see we're not still just shaking off a bad hangover but have decided that vodka is a good way to start the day, every day.
