Ben Carson & Franklin Graham Declare US Constitution is Inspired by God?

5 views

I love the Constitution, but this is going way too far! 2 Timothy 3:16 "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." -Article link: https://disntr.com/2024/07/26/ben-car...

Hello, so I saw this story today. I wanted to cover it. This is on the dissenter I'll put a link in the description and also
00:07
I'll put Franklin Graham's tweet in the thumbnail for this video just so you can see it
00:13
But it's in the link to both Ben Carson, you know, Ben Carson. He's a well -known
00:19
Seventh -day Adventist who gets invited to preach at Christian conferences like Let's see
00:26
Robert Morris that guy that just stepped down with that scandal Ben Carson and Joyce Meyer.
00:32
We're gonna speak at his Former church and of course Ben Carson ran for president.
00:37
He's the African American neurosurgeon, I believe he ran back in 2016 a
00:45
Great guy by all accounts, although we would have some very serious doctoral differences with the
00:52
Seventh -day Adventists and Franklin Graham who You know a lot of people respect Franklin Graham, I think there are probably some issues at the very least who he fellowships with Paula White and whatnot, he's endorsed
01:06
Paula White's book and Not to get into those two men, but just to explain who they are
01:12
I think everyone knows Franklin Graham and Ben Carson as well Not as well -known, but pretty well -known
01:18
Ben Carson is here's you saw it in the in the description for the video Both men are now claiming that the
01:26
US Constitution is Inspired by God. All right. Now listen,
01:33
I am Glad that I live in the United States. I wish
01:39
Probably most people who watch this channel you wish as well that we would actually follow the
01:44
Constitution great respect for the US Constitution don't get me wrong
01:51
Okay, and I think the Constitution to some degree at least was formulated out of a
01:57
Christian worldview people who Their thoughts their ideas their worldview
02:03
Was very much Christian or influenced by Christian thought and they came up with the
02:08
Constitution The Constitution may be one of the greatest if not the greatest man -made documents in the history of the world so by no means am
02:17
I Anti -american or just Denigrating or don't care for the
02:23
Constitution. We know in this country who doesn't like the Constitution, right? but anyways with all that said
02:31
This claim by men who should know better Okay, Franklin Graham Arguably is the most well -known as far as people
02:42
Protestants and Evangelicals, you know Billy Graham often was called the Protestant Pope right now.
02:49
Franklin Graham is not He doesn't have the cachet that Billy Graham had but still of all the
02:56
Protestant evangelical leaders Franklin Graham is probably the most well -known and Well respected across the board.
03:04
Okay, despite what you might think again, there are some people who think he has some real
03:10
Problems with doctrine or at least practice in who he fellowships with all that aside for them to claim that the
03:18
US Constitution is inspired by God. This is this is a very serious matter.
03:24
Okay, this is an outrageous claim That really if you're consistent you would have to put the
03:30
US Constitution on par with Scripture because the whole point of Scripture being you know
03:36
The Bible being our authority is that it's inspired by God, right? 2nd Timothy 3 16 says all scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for doctrine for reproof for correction for instruction and Righteousness and I'm looking here just at the
03:51
Greek the Greek word Translated inspired inspired by God.
03:57
It is the honest us which means the contents of Scripture are
04:04
God breathed in other words, the the the words of the Bible are straight from God They are the
04:12
Word of God. They are inspired by God and yet this is from what
04:18
I understand This is how it happened Ben Carson in a speech or maybe used an interview there's
04:25
There's a video of it here on the dissenter website. You can watch it for yourself It looks like it's an informal kind of speech.
04:32
He's people are talking to him and he he says the the Bible is a God inspired Document and of course, he's catching a lot of heat for that And then it appears that Franklin Graham Tweeted out to Ben Carson on Twitter or X as it's now called and Franklin Graham said no
04:54
Ben Carson, you're right Franklin Graham tweeted out the US Constitution is a
05:00
God -inspired Document according to Ben Carson Franklin Graham comes to his defense saying
05:07
I agree the US Constitution is inspired by God Okay, if again if that's true, what's the issue then?
05:17
It means the US Constitution You could tack it on to the Bible which Didn't Donald Trump.
05:23
I don't know. I don't want to say things that I don't know, but didn't they put out a Donald Trump? It's not a study
05:30
Bible a Donald Trump Bible with the Constitution Tacked on to the end of the
05:36
Bible didn't it didn't something like that happen and listen I did that video where they were praying to wah a grew at the
05:44
National Convention And I realized there are some pastors who do this They'll bring up something that Trump said or the
05:51
Republicans did there Let me just warn you there are pastors who try to get people to not vote
05:58
Republican because secretly they're Democrats and people they're trying to get people to not support the
06:05
Republicans because they're Covertly trying to get that happened in a church in our area. A guy was just kind of kind of railing against Conservatives and he was secretly
06:16
Liberal he didn't let anyone know But he was trying to get people in his church to not vote so so that he could smuggle in his
06:25
You know left -wing views which he did after he kind of drove all the conservatives out
06:31
So I realized there's pastors who do that. I am NOT doing that and let me just be clear I would never vote for the
06:38
Democratic Party platform Anyone who knows me, you know that already because it's the
06:43
Ten Commandments in reverse So I have no agenda like that. I want to be clear Just like I want to be clear.
06:50
I am a Lover of the Constitution. Okay, I wish we would get back as a country to the
06:57
Constitution But guys, come on, it is not inspired. It is not inspired by God It is not a document that is
07:06
God -breathed because if it were then you actually could tack it on to the Bible So the first second third
07:13
John Jude Revelation and then the Constitution So now
07:19
Presumably Franklin Graham and Ben Carson would not advocate for that. But I mean guys at best.
07:26
This is confusing at worst Yeah, I mean heretical if if you take it to its logical conclusion
07:34
I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that if they were to clarify they would say well now that's not what we're that's not
07:40
What we mean it's not inspired in the same way. The Bible is Right they have to they have to know that so I want to give them the benefit of the doubt, but this is a pretty
07:54
Outrageous thing. Yeah, it's outrageous. So anyways, just wanted to do a quick video on that The Bible is the only
08:03
Document it is the only writing that we have that is inspired by God the 66 books of the
08:09
Bible 39 books of the Old Testament 27 books of the New Testament. That is the only
08:14
God inspired Writing that we have the Bible. Okay again 2nd
08:20
Timothy 316 all scripture is given by inspiration of God That means
08:25
God breathed the Greek word the honest us mean literally means inspired breathed out by God It is the
08:32
Word of God The Constitution is not the Word of God and in no one writing the Constitution the people that were involved none of them claimed that anyways, so Ben Carson Franklin Graham, you know
08:49
Listen don't want to be too hard on them But they know better. They should know better than to say things like this.
