OFFICIAL BUSINESS (with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association)
Following are my words to an official of a popular, but erring and heretical, religious organization:
"This will be the final time I write to you, knowing that if you reject my admonition that you are subverted, sinning, and self-condemned (Titus 3.10, 11)."You quoted Billy Graham, 'The sins of the past cannot be undone, just as you cannot unscramble eggs.' Let me tell you something. A sinner can change the sins of the past! It requires REPENTANCE. That is what this issue is about.
"You are consenting to Billy Graham's promotion of fornication, legalized adultery, ignoring God's plan of redemption of the sinner through repentance of his or her sins. You are misleading many, including sinful people who otherwise perhaps would be convicted of their adultery, repent, and be saved.
"A thief is a person who steals. A repentant thief no longer steals, and a reconciliatory, repentant thief makes amends to those he has defrauded. Likewise, a repentant adulterer ceases the forbidden sexual activity, and a reconciliatory, repentant adulterer begins living a separate life, assuming responsibilities which resulted from the previous sin.
"A repentant person who has been living in a state of remarriage and desires to correct his or her life must separate from the other person. If a person truly loves and obeys Christ, he or she will do whatever is necessary to live a sanctified life. The separation may seem to cause legal, economic, social, family and other problems, but the remarriage must be annulled. A single sanctified person (whether a parent or not) having separated from the forbidden state of remarriage may join the church.
"Therefore, if you want to remedy your present situation as one of Mr. Graham's officials, recognizing your heresy, repent, put your own life in order, and apologize to those you have misled."
