Have You Ever Wondered What "William Franklin Graham" Means? Definition Of Billy Graham's Name:
So...just out of sheer curiousity I looked up Billy Graham today. I see that he went into the hospital today for pneumonia but is doing okay so far.

His birth name was William Franklin Graham Jr. I decided to look up what his name meant.

William = "will" and/or "helmet". Another definition is "Strong willed warrior"

Franklin = "free but not noble". Another definition is "Free man"

Graham = "wheat". Another definition is "From The Gray Homestead"

I know this is a long shot but...what if his name was to mean "Will free the wheat"? Or..."Helmet of the free wheat"? Or..."Will crown the free wheat".

Or...maybe..."Strong warrior who frees the wheat"?

I don't know...I know I'm reaching here, but...isn't it curious? Here is a man who has spent his whole adult life ministering to the world. The bible calls the Christians of the world "The Wheat" and God will store them in His barn while the rest of the world is quenched in fire. Has anybody else looked at this stuff? Is there something symbolic to Billy Graham's name?

I have no respect for Billy Graham. The man will preach a wonderful sermon and then send every single person who wants to be saved right into the hands of the demonic catholic church thus negating the entire effort. His holding hands with the catholics is contrary to scripture and contrary to baptist teaching. He lays with the whore of babylon. He is a partaker in her sins. You don't set yourself apart from the evils of this world just to be taken over by a bunch of Mary worshiping pagans.

He is in the same boat as that fraud Jack VanImpe. Both sold out to the papists and rejected the true teachings.

All that being said, a person's name meaning is nothing.

My name literally means "The deep one who walks the narrow path". And that is not something I measure up to very often.

All I know is that the bastard has died at least three times perhaps we should all prey to him he's had more resurrections than Jesus.
