He is sure and certain of his faith in Jesus as the way to salvation. When asked whether he believes heaven will be closed to good Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus or secular people, though, Graham says: "Those are decisions only the Lord will make. It would be foolish for me to speculate on who will be there and who won't ... I don't want to speculate about all that. I believe the love of God is absolute. He said he gave his son for the whole world, and I think he loves everybody regardless of what label they have." Such an ecumenical spirit may upset some Christian hard-liners, but in Graham's view, only God knows who is going to be saved: "As an evangelist for more than six decades, Mr. Graham has faithfully proclaimed the Bible's Gospel message that Jesus is the only way to Heaven," says Graham spokesman A. Larry Ross. "However, salvation is the work of Almighty God, and only he knows what is in each human heart." <BR/><BR/>maybe Yap Kim Hao, Eckhart Tolle, Oprah Winfrey, and Depak Chopra should get an acrobat and a monkey and start a commune.Rob Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10893938431904825170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27989891.post-50111399706187831492008-09-10T07:00:00.000-07:002008-09-10T07:00:00.000-07:00Hi Beng,Sorry for the trouble of posting your comm...Hi Beng,<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the trouble of posting your comment twice; I have removed your second/similar comment.<BR/><BR/>My comment section was originally moderated (there were a lot of abuses from lurkers).<BR/><BR/>I have re-set the comment section so that only posts older than 8 weeks need to be moderated. :)vincit omnia veritashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07129530005436270157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27989891.post-44447055624726754132008-09-10T05:17:00.000-07:002008-09-10T05:17:00.000-07:00I once sat under his preaching as a young Christia...I once sat under his preaching as a young Christian in Christ Methodist Church.
