Letter to Franklin Graham

An open letter to Mr. Franklin Graham, son of Rev. Billy Graham

Too bad our sons seldom speak with their fathers and even more concern is the not hearing their fathers.  Children are attempting grownup behaviors using their own innate efforts to survive, no longer dependent on adult supervision.  Adults have opted to teach ‘what’ instead of ‘how’ to be an adult, survival.  What to be in the future of our youth is transitional; how to be is always apparent.

Franklin the remarks you uttered over CNN today, May 6, 2010 are the regretful remarks obviously missing all your father’s efforts to teach how.  How can you be a Christian and make the remarks volatile of Christianity so publicly?  Your statement said that “Obama is soft on Moslem/Islam.”  Follow up you said that “Christians do not worship the same God as Moslems.”

The Constitution of the United States is soft on all religions by the interpretation of “separation of church and state” and President Obama seems to be the first President to clearly utter such neutrality.  Further, has not the United States in its entirety exercised softness relative to Christianity?  And, have not Christians and Atheists taken Christian antics to court demanding separation of church and state without any Moslem complaints, even in so-called “class actions law suits?

The continuous touted statements of Christians, “my God” and “my Jesus” confront today’s decision relative to interactive behavior as it implies ownership as opposed to worship.  God, even in Christian vocabulary mandated that no God shall come before Him and that no one has the right to create a God or demigod.    This mandate of God was to all creation and Moslems too must adhere and recognize the Word of God.

For your information Mr. Franklin Graham your father got it.  He used the Word of God to recruit unity in the worship of God; he, your father, did not interpret God’s Word to the detriment of others.  Moslems expressing Jihad are the same Mr. Franklin Graham heard in your words, they too express ownership of God.

Young friend Mr. Franklin Graham you are still learning from both your fathers, God and Reverend Billy Graham.  Hopefully you will gain the antennae to hear clearly their words and Word of father and God.  I too wish my sons could tune in to what I say using the God Head as guidance.  I feel the pain of your father.  Please try very hard to exhibit the behavior of your father as you are not to judge God or your father but judge instead what kind of son you can be to both.

Jew, Christianity and Islam are not religions but commitments to the unified worship of God and His Word of God: unity in the use of the path of righteousness.  Your word at times will be to recruit persons in unity of church communion but that union is in prayer and worship not in negative remarks about others who also share that path towards righteous behaviors.

Twelve tribes of Judah unified in an effort to discover the righteous path.  Abraham tested by God when his hearing heard a Word relative to killing or sacrificing a son.  The twelve tribes of Judah roamed the country in search of the righteous path.  Those tribes crossed the Euphrates, becoming Israelites and finding a place to dwell and consciously seek the path of righteousness.  Islam, long before the Prophet, is a word combining many, El, Amun, Isis and Ra originating in Africa with an infusion of the Prophet (PBUH).  The Prophet’s (PBUH) brought unity a renewal concept infusion Arabs into the unified effort to seek the path of righteousness mandated by God.

The Africans of Africa forced into slavery by their brethren and others crossed the Atlantic, against their will, made slaves by others and forced into tribes of many differences into a tribe call negro losing their individual ancestral identity.  Some in 1776 met the standard of American by being born in the New World America.  They should not have enslaved natural born citizens, natural born cannot be slaves.

So, Mr. Franklin Graham you may one day earn the mantle of reverend if you tune into your fathers, both God and Rev. Billy, earning the title of reverend in the service of God.  You must resist the service of man and man’s interpretations concentrating on the Word of God as the word of man is often corrupt.  God does not belong to you or any religious group; we belong to God.  Christianity, Jew and Islam can all live together in unity in their worship of God if only they stop worshipping their man-invented religions.

Last, religions have leaders as religions seem to believe and profess a direct connection to their God.  Religions exist because of the argument of who replaced the messengers of God: Abraham for the Hebrews, Jesus for Christians and Abu Bakr or Ali for the Prophet with none charged by God.  Ergo, Jews lost Jesus, Christianity lost Luther and the Prophet (PBUT) lost to Shiites, Sunnis and Fahammes.

Read these words carefully as the words are not to be negative or destructive but instead are meant to unify our efforts in seeking the mandate of the One God of many names Who we seek His praise and interactive World Peace.
