Jesus Comes From Heaven

Billy Graham Mengatakan Keselamatan Ada Di Semua Agama


BILLY GRAHAM SAYS PEOPLE IN OTHER RELIGIONS CAN BE SAVED.

In an interview with McCall’s magazine, January 1978, entitled “I Can’t Play God Any More,” Graham said: “I used to believe that pagans in far-off countries were lost—were going to hell—if they did not have the Gospel of Jesus Christ preached to them. I no longer believe that. … I believe that there are other ways of recognizing the existence of God—through nature, for instance—and plenty of other opportunities, therefore, of saying ‘yes’ to God.”

Though Graham later tried to stem the controversy brought about by his comments, he continued to allow for the possibility that the unsaved in other religions might not go to hell if they respond to natural light.

In 1985, Graham affirmed his belief that those outside of Christ might be saved. Los Angeles reporter David Colker asked Graham: “What about people of other faiths who live good lives but don’t profess a belief in Christ?” Graham replied, “I’m going to leave that to the Lord. He’ll decide that” (Los Angeles Herald Examiner, July 22, 1985). While this answer might appear reasonable to those who do not know the Bible, in reality it is a great compromise of the truth. God has already decided what will happen to those who die outside of faith in Jesus Christ. The book of Ephesians describes the condition of such as “children of wrath” (Eph. 2:3) and “having no hope, and without God in the world” (Eph. 2:12). That is why Christ must be preached. Men without a saving knowledge of Christ are condemned already (John 3:18). There is no mystery or question about this matter, because the Bible has plainly spoken.

In 1993, Graham repeated this philosophy in an interview with David Frost. “And I think there is that hunger for God and people are living as best they know how according to the light that they have. Well, I think they’re in a separate category than people like Hitler and people who have just defied God, and shaken their fists at God. … I would say that God, being a God of mercy, we have to rest it right there, and say that God is a God of mercy and love, and how it happens, we don’t know” (The Charlotte Observer, Feb. 16, 1993).

In his interview with Robert Schuller in May 1997, Graham again said that he believes people in other religions can be saved without consciously believing in Jesus Christ.

SCHULLER: Tell me, what do you think is the future of Christianity?

GRAHAM: Well, Christianity and being a true believer--you know, I think there's the Body of Christ. This comes from all the Christian groups around the world, outside the Christian groups. I think everybody that loves Christ, or knows Christ, whether they're conscious of it or not, they're members of the Body of Christ. And I don't think that we're going to see a great sweeping revival, that will turn the whole world to Christ at any time. I think James answered that, the Apostle James in the first council in Jerusalem, when he said that God's purpose for this age is to call out a people for His name. And that's what God is doing today, He's calling people out of the world for His name, WHETHER THEY COME FROM THE MUSLIM WORLD, OR THE BUDDHIST WORLD, OR THE CHRISTIAN WORLD OR THE NON-BELIEVING WORLD, THEY ARE MEMBERS OF THE BODY OF CHRIST BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN CALLED BY GOD. THEY MAY NOT EVEN KNOW THE NAME OF JESUS but they know in their hearts that they need something that they don't have, and they turn to the only light that they have, and I think that they are saved, and that they're going to be with us in heaven.

SCHULLER: What, what I hear you saying that it's possible for Jesus Christ to come into human hearts and soul and life, even if they've been born in darkness and have never had exposure to the Bible. Is that a correct interpretation of what you're saying?

GRAHAM: Yes, it is, because I believe that. I've met people in various parts of the world in tribal situations, that THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN A BIBLE OR HEARD ABOUT A BIBLE, AND NEVER HEARD OF JESUS, BUT THEY'VE BELIEVED IN THEIR HEARTS THAT THERE WAS A GOD, and they've tried to live a life that was quite apart from the surrounding community in which they lived.

SCHULLER: [trips over his tongue for a moment, his face beaming, then says] I I'm so thrilled to hear you say this. There's a wideness in God's mercy.

GRAHAM: There is. There definitely is (Television interview of Billy Graham by Robert Schuller, broadcast in southern California on Saturday, May 31, 1997).

I'm using webcamera software. I can webcast Internet video to view my site from everywhere.

Web camera software senses activity, triggers alarm, captures images, records video, and sends captured images by e-mail With my new web camera software, I can run a streaming webcast of my home viewable from the Internet. This opens up a league of opportunities, the surface of which has not even been scratched in today's world. I can use this broadcast for surveillance purposes, allowing me to watch what's going on in my home at any moment from a remote watching pc.
As long as I have the camera running and a remote workstation with Online access, I can watch the apartment. With the software and the webcam, I can change the settings to capture picture, identify motion (if I don't want to keep the camera running at all times), or use a mixture of a live feed and recorded video to implement a security system that takes full benefit of recent technology.
With a capture card, I can easily transmit related video and screenshots to use on any workstation.
With sensitive data on my pc and precious stuff in my site, it only makes sense to have a protection setup that I can monitor whenever I feel that my privacy is being compromised. If I owned a small firm or lived with roommates, I couldn't imagine living without it.

Webcam software senses movement, sounds siren, captures images, records video, and sends captured images by email

Webcam software detects motion, triggers siren, captures images, records video, and sends captured images by emailWebcams are good for more than just making internet communications more sensible. They can also be an extremely practical device for use in residence or corporation security. Application is now available that can sense activity and use it as a trigger for various procedures.
The way that it works is to analyze the image sent by a webcam that is either connected through USB or through a video capture device for motion. While it picks up that motion, it can afterward take any number of events, including triggering an alarm.
An other popular software, though, is to either send live images of what is happening in the scene that is covered by the camera or to even broadcast via live broadcasting accurately what is happening with both audio and image. If installed covertly, this application could even be used for covert surveillance.
Given the large number of systems that either have a webcam attached or can support one, this is an perfect way to inexpensively and easily defend the area across that computer from intrusion or robbery.

Modern professional surveillance application works with any webcam, Internet cameras, and major capture cards.

Webcam software identifies movement, triggers alarm, captures snapshots, records video, and sends captured images by e-mail Security application has become so difficult that the regular consumer who has been busy minding his store instead of pouring over electronics and online technology articles can be easily overwhelmed when it comes time to setup or update his surveillance system.
Fortunately, there is new professional security software that simplifies much of the decision making. You don't necessarily have to get rid of a working analog closed circuit TV system in order to modernize to a streaming video that can be watched from any ip connected station or 3G phone. Video capture cards can digitally convert the images for webcast. Until yesterday, there had been no real attempts to standardize the new Internet cameras; every make and manufacturer functioned a tiny differently. And when you put webcams into the mix, finding one software to rule them all was heavy.
Professional surveillance application is now accessible that will work for any camera or Internet camera and for most capture cards as well. You can supervise whatever your movement detectors are picking up at your house or company while you can be half a world away. The application itself may not be simple, but it can get life simpler for you.
