I think it’s unlikely that Jesus didn’t politely partake of herbal teas or whatever was customary at the time. Not that he needed them.
This “story” is from last February, well before the problems with the vaccine were confirmed. NTEB is being disingenuous by misquoting Dr. Graham and by publishing it now.
Here’s a more accurate quote:
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/franklin-graham-believes-jesus-would-take-covid-vaccine-he-s-still-catching-grief/ar-BB1fLDLe
My husband and I got the vaccine last winter too, well before the problems with the Phizer vaccine came to light. We got the Moderna vaccine and I will get a booster if my *doctor* recommends it.
And all those who would support those who espouse poisoning themselves with a possible death serum....dear mercy, where is your BRAIN???
Either he repents of his sin (yep, that’s what I said),or.....you figure it out.
Adios Franklin. Same with Robert Jeffries.
Off the deep end. And our ladies group just put together almost 3,000 boxes for Samaritan’s Purse. I hope this whackadoo fetish he has with these shots doesn’t leak into his other projects.
He uses man-made healing today, including vaccines.
SEE POST 62
It is a brisk and hasty leap to call this man Laodicean. A Laodicean posture is one of being neither hot nor cold, but lukewarm. Graham is neither lukewarm nor cold. He is a firebrand.
Now, on the issue at hand, he is taking a stand that many disagree with. But this doesn’t place him in Revelation 3 territory. Instead, he is more in Romans 14 territory.
Because many readers might think it’s not worth looking up, I will excerpt a few phrases from Romans 14:
As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions.
2 One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables.
3 Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him.
4 Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
5 One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind.
13 Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother. 14 I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself, but it is unclean for anyone who thinks it unclean. 15 For if your brother is grieved by what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. By what you eat, do not destroy the one for whom Christ died.
There are strong opinions regarding covid itself, and about treatments for it. As in society at large, so in the church at large. When Paul wrote to the Roman church, he knew about strong opinions on matters that weren’t about salvation at all. So the most cogent phrase he wrote on the subject was to let each person be fully persuaded in his own mind and let it go at that.
I think where Graham is violating Romans 14 is that he is tacitly shaming Christians who disagree with using the vaccine. And that is causing people to doubt him, his ministry and maybe even his faith. It is causing some, in other words, to stumble. When we believers know our words might be divisive and counterproductive, it behooves us to keep it to ourselves. We should look to Romans 14 when asked one of these kinds of questions and say, “opinions vary; let each be fully persuaded in his own mind.”
“Disappointing.”
And perhaps revealing.
Billy’s boy is exposing his lack of spiritual discernment. Now I wonder how his sister would answer this challenge. She appears to have spiritual discernment. Shall we see?
I’m sure Jonathan Edwards would take it as well.

What an idiot!!
Is Franklin familiar with the commandment “Thou shalt not kill”? That applies to one’s own body. So why submit voluntarily to a “vaccination” that could kill you?
I’m amazed at the number of people on this forum who have swallowed this article whole without question, allowing it to affect their opinion of Graham.
Why have so few of you bothered to question the accuracy of this article? You should.
This article is a lie.

He never said what the article says he did.
I wonder what Franklin thinks of Fauci?
Maybe I don’t want to know.
Thank you....I too am surprised and greatly disappointed in their knee jerk responses........ Scary how fast they turned
When I need medical advice I always go to a sky pilot.
