Franklin Graham Says ‘Vaccines Bring Healing To Bodies Like Jesus Did’

Yesterday Franklin Graham, president of Samaritan’s Purse and President of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, was interviewed by Wolf Blitzer on CNN’s “Situation Room” discussing Christians who are hesitant to receive a Covid-19 vaccine, particularly White Evangelicals.

Blitzer said,

I’m sure you saw that research survey that found that 45% of white evangelical Christians said they definitely or probably will not get vaccinated against COVID-19. So what’s your message to fellow evangelicals who are still hesitant to get this potentially life-saving vaccine?

Graham had this to say in response:

You know when Jesus started his ministry, he went about preaching, and he used his power as the Son of God to bring healing to people’s bodies. And he didn’t do it so they’d have a better life. He did it so they’d put their faith and trust in him as the Son of God. And as a Christian, I think it’s important that we model our ministry after that of Jesus Christ. We want to try to bring healing to people’s bodies, and we can do that through modern medicine. My grandfather was a surgeon in China. He went there in 1916 and brought modern medicine at that time to China and used his skills as a surgeon to save lives, and he did it in Jesus’s name.

I think a lot of people are afraid to have something that’s just new. I thank God for vaccines. I thank God for the polio vaccine. I was 6 years old when they came to our school. They put it on a sugar cube. We all went down to the lunchroom, and they put a drop of vaccine, and we took it to our mouth, and we ate it and thought this was kind of fun. It’s like candy. I remember that vaccine. Now it’s been almost eradicated around the world. So vaccines are important. I would encourage people to pray about it, consider it. I would never tell somebody they had to have it or try to mandate it, but I think we certainly should encourage people to consider the vaccine. If you don’t take it, there are some real risks for some groups.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY

[13] For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. [14] And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. [15] Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

2 Corinthians 11:13-15

On March 19th, The WinePress reported that Graham said that Jesus would take the Covid vaccine, saying,

I think if there were vaccines available in the time of Christ, Jesus would have made reference to them and used them.

Jesus Christ, the Creator and sustainer of all life, would NEVER EVER take a vaccine. Additionally, ANY vaccine of any kind is not even remotely comparable to the healing miracles of Jesus Christ: who instantaneously grew people limbs back, gave the blind their sight, made the lame walk, and on and on: no vaccine ever has or ever will do that, obviously.

[43] And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, [44] Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched. [45] And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? [46] And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. [47] And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately. [48] And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.

Luke 8:43-48

If you want to be biblical accurate, the Bible teaches that what the Lord has created is to be used for healing.

And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.

Ezekiel 47:12

[14] He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; [15] And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man’s heart. [16] The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;

Psalms 104:14-16

Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities.

1 Timothy 5:23

Franklin, just like his papal sellout daddy, Billy-Goat, will be burning in hell: make no mistake about it.
