I take that as Graham being honest about the Old Testament of the Bible in particular.
We should focus on the New Testament and what Jesus had to say. And maybe a little bit less on the Paulinian concerns.
I think FG is being dishonest here. The Old Testament is included in the Bible to give context and power to redeeming salvation of Christ, God incarnate and the ultimate expression of love.
Franklin Graham is a professional fundraiser, not a trained theologian in any sense of the word. HIs father continued to study even as an older gentleman, knowing that he needed to grow....Franklin thinks he knows it all. I had a lot of respect for Bily Graham, but not one iota for Franklin.I think FG is being dishonest here. The Old Testament is included in the Bible to give context and power to redeeming salvation of Christ, God incarnate and the ultimate expression of love.
Be careful focusing on what Jesus said. He said a lot of things that people don't know He said and don't want to focus on. He was pretty rough on many people and the Book of Revelation isn't exactly a love letter to mankind.I take that as Graham being honest about the Old Testament of the Bible in particular.

The University of Oklahoma student who received a zero on a psychology essay after citing the Bible is speaking out after claiming religious discrimination. | READ MORE: News Story
The problem is that the university says the grade was “arbitrary” without ever explaining how. They haven’t said the rubric was violated, they haven’t shown that similar papers were graded differently, and they haven’t pointed to any standard the instructor ignored. They’ve just asserted the conclusion. In academic terms, a grade is arbitrary when it’s untethered from criteria. Here, the criterion was engaging the course material using the discipline’s methods. Substituting Bible verses for psychological analysis doesn’t meet that standard. If Oklahoma believes a zero was inappropriate, they owe a clearer explanation than a vague label, because right now “arbitrary” sounds less like an academic finding and more like an administrative retreat under pressure.![]()
