Then why are you disappointed in Graham’s statement?


Because as I stated above, he seems afraid to die. A sentiment no Christian who truly believes in heaven should feel.

I don’t see it that way. It’s like telling people to wear a seat belt or helmet. Doing those things isn’t a sign you are afraid to die.

I’m not saying those who aren’t vaccinated don’t value your lives, distrust of govt and medical community is fully warranted in this situation. After all, it’s a novel virus and vaccine(s).

Graham is just another man, like you say his opinion no more important than the next. I’m sure his opinion and public statements are highly influenced by his position and other selfish influences.

After reading the full quote, I didn't take it as being afraid to die, but rather his belief that it is the prudent thing to do to stay healthy. If he had said that he believes you should stop smoking or wear seatbelts, I would take that the same way.

Easter people do not fear death, but that doesn't mean that they should long for it. You do not know what your mission here is.
