Evangelist Billy Graham hospitalizedBy the CNN Wire Staff Updated Monday 5:30 a.m. (CNN) - Evangelist Billy Graham was admitted to a hospital overnight for treatment of a pulmonary infection believed to be bronchitis, a North Carolina hospital and his evangelistic association said. "Upon admission, he was alert and in good spirits," said the statement, which was released both by Mission Hospital in Asheville and the The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. The 93-year-old also was hospitalized for pneumonia last November, six months after similarly being admitted to a hospital for the same condition. Since then, he has remained "in good overall health ... though he continues to remain at home due to age-related conditions," according to the hospital and the association. FULL STORY

Many prayers for Rev.Graham & his family. Some day all will face God's judgement & every knee will bow. Praying for all who claim unbelief, they are in for a big surprise.
Sue B,
"Praying for all who claim unbelief, they are in for a big surprise."
So might you be - like if Ra is the real god, and your heart has to be weighed against Ma'at's feather...
or if it's Allah, and you have not done your pillars....
or if it's one of the 10s of thousands of other gods conjured up by folks over the eons.
Prayer really changes things ,
Prayer does not; you are such a LIAR. You have NO proof it changes anything! A great example of prayer proven not to work is the Christians in jail because prayer didn't work and their children died. For example: Susan Grady, who relied on prayer to heal her son. Nine-year-old Aaron Grady died and Susan Grady was arrested.
An article in the Journal of Pediatrics examined the deaths of 172 children from families who relied upon faith healing from 1975 to 1995. They concluded that four out of five ill children, who died under the care of faith healers or being left to prayer only, would most likely have survived if they had received medical care.
The statistical studies from the nineteenth century and the three CCU studies on prayer are quite consistent with the fact that humanity is wasting a huge amount of time on a procedure that simply doesn’t work. Nonetheless, faith in prayer is so pervasive and deeply rooted, you can be sure believers will continue to devise future studies in a desperate effort to confirm their beliefs! ~
May d almighty God intervene 4 our Papa in Jesus name.
John 8:47-"He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God."
John 3:18-"He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
John 8:44-"You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies."
Matthew 13:38-"The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,
John 3:16-"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
2 Corinthians 4:3-4-"And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God."
It is very simple unbelievers do not belong to GOD. I know it sucks really really bad but this is the reality of truth. Now atheist you understand why it is impossible for you to believe, it is because you are already condemned. You are blinded by your father. You are not of GOD but of the devil, and the devil along with his seed shall perish forever according to the word of GOD Almighty.
P.S. “I would rather live my life as if there is a god and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.” Albert Camus
Sigh... Simpleton.

Oh my, what are you talking about, dear? You need to get a good cup of tea and a newspaper, and leave all that praying and make-believe people behind and start being a productive atheist with a clear, strong mind, hon.
If you had a clear strong mind you would realize you couldn't be an atheist. God bless
you people have to admit that an evangelist can change a man by the word of God who had killed many people or how bad a man he is..

well men can talk other men into all kinds of things, like making a man feel forgiven for his grave deeds, such as killing, as long as he can get some money out of it for this convenient "forgiveness" of sin; my oh my.

Do Christians believe that Sikh's don't get to go to heaven ?
All people go to heaven for judgement, only the Christians stay. God bless

becomes atheism proof provided by tina !
"stupid followed to its logical conclusion" wrote some nonsense – it doesn't matter
But really, dear, proofs are not effective when done in a "I know you are, but what am I" manner...lol
Your "proofs" are so full of holes, you must have "holy" water flying out of your usb ports. my oh my.
with adherents like tina and kindless the futility of atheism is too obvious.
the christians stay and line up on their knees to be sprayed by savior e-jack-you-lit
Awesome news. God is punishing that vile bigot. Hope he's getting ready to go back to hell where he belongs.
@rob
Yea, a 93 being hospitalized due to a health condition. Sounds like a punishment to me. When you hit 93 and have no reason to be hospitalized let me know.
@Chris, maybe he should try "praying" and he won't need to be hospitalized anymore. I bet he'll reach his fantasy world much quicker that way I guess.
""Self-centered indulgence, pride and a lack of shame over sin are now emblems of the American lifestyle," Graham wrote."
.
Interesting when you consider we are a Christian Nation and majority are Christians. Christianity is bad for our country and freedoms.
I saw this old dude. He was in that movie Poltergeist 2.
He lacks faith if he is in the hospital and not church.
Very true, he'll be six feet under much quicker if he goes to church instead of a hospital.
Why did Graham draw deep criticism when he said "Self-centered indulgence, pride and a lack of shame over sin are now emblems of the American lifestyle" ?
Those who criticize him for saying it are living in delusion!
I guess prayer doesn't change things. He will die. Not because of god but because that is the way it goes. I wish he were conscious on the other side when he realizes there is no god and that this is all there is.
We talking about Mr Graham here, people are just messing their comments, God maN thd ideas of healing so what wrong of him to be taking to hospital? Evan. Graham God will hill u in de name Yaweh
Please put down the crack pipe before you post on here.
Why is this old fart in the hospital? Shouldnt he be praying to get better? I guess that he doesn't have enough faith.
however much i may disagree with mr.grahams possible passing, this is a time to put aside the bickering between believers and non-believers and just let the man pass in peace.
Why? Is he special? He took peoples money as a snake oil saleman. The sooner he is gone the better.
Atheism is not healthy for children and other living things. Proof provided by the name thief above
