Rev. Franklin Graham is calling for a boycott of gay-friendly businesses, beginning by pulling his ministry's accounts from Wells Fargo after the bank ran an ad featuring a gay couple. Graham, son of the famed evangelical pastor Billy Graham, runs the church his father started, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, which had net assets of $295 million in 2014, according to the most recent data available on the ministry's website. Hypocrisy Maybe ? Usury, or the lending of money for interest is forbidden in the Bible. Why isn't Evangellical Pastor Franklin Graham outraged with ALL banks ? Why would he do business with a bank at all ? After all, usury is a sin. Bible speaks of Usury, There are many Scriptures on the topic of usury to consider in the Old Testament, such as where God forbade the Israelites to exact usury from each other. There are MANY examples of God forbidding usury in the Bible. Here are a couple: "Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury: " (Deuteronomy 23:19) KJV "You shall not charge interest to your brother-interest on money or food or anything that is lent out at interest." (Deuteronomy 23:19) NKJV More Hypocrisy ? The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, which had net assets of $295 million in 2014: Jesus also more than once discouraged the laying up of earthly treasure "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth..." (Matthew 6:19) In an other Scripture we read of a parable Jesus told of a rich fool, who had been blessed with a prosperous season of farming, and so he built bigger barns to store the great harvest. He expected to live a care-free life for years to come, but instead died suddenly. Jesus provides an explanation to the parable saying" "So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God" (Luke 12:21) He goes on to teach about living a life free from worry, and encourages us to: "Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds?" (Luke 12:24) Jesus goes even further and provides practical instruction on how to fulfill His teachings by saying: "Sell what you have and give alms; provide yourselves money bags which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches nor moth destroys" (Luke 12:33) Here is a short story in the Bible about how Christ dealt with punishment and sin from: (John 8:2-7) 2 " And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them." 3" And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst," 4 " They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act." 5 " Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?" 6 " This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not." 7 " So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her." Franklin Graham has only to look in his own back yard to find sin to be outraged with. Hypocrisy maybe ?
