Yes. I am a member of the persecuted Oriental Orthodox communion (which consists of the Syriac Orthodox, Coptic Orthodox, Armenian Apostolic, Ethiopian Orthodox and Eritrean Orthodox) whose member churches have suffered severe persecution from the Byzantine Empire, the Ottoman Empire, the Soviet Union, the Derg regime in Ethiopia, and more recently, ISIS.
I accepted Jesus as an 18 year old in the UK. After a very difficult childhood, He gave me a hope and a purpose for living. Been following for 25 years now, and God has never let me down. I would invite you to explore further.
"Are you religious?" is such a vague question. Most people don't have a clue as to how to answer that honestly, because many really don't know what they believe or why.
All I know is that when I was hurting, and empty, and hated myself and others...I cried out to Jesus to help me and forgive me....and 30 years later I can look back and know that He did and that He changed my heart and He's used me to help many, many people who are also hurting....if that makes me "religious" than I'm ok being called that 😊
Queen Elizabeth and Reverend Billy Graham were good friends in real life. The Queen often had him over to talk about the Christian life, Jesus and other things that pertained to Christianity and all the questions that come. The Queen was a devout Christian. Her televised messages always had Jesus at the forefront.
The Crown is not a Hollywood production. Despite being big. I think the UK can produce more delicate and respectful series and films in some more delicate aspects.
For a small moment Elizabeth was no longer Queen and could be just a regular person. It must have been a rare experience for Elizabeth to surrender all her responsibilities and live simply as a believer in her faith. This was brought across beautifully by the actress who played her role perfectly.
I can assure you there was never a moment in HM Queen Elizabeth's tenure as Soverign where she was not guided and aware of her commitment to her role as Supreme Governor of the Church of England as sworn in her Coronation Oath as follows: A"rchbishop (of Canterbury). Will you to the utmost of your power maintain the Laws of God and the true profession of the Gospel? Will you to the utmost of your power maintain in the United Kingdom the Protestant Reformed Religion established by law? Will you maintain and preserve inviolably the settlement of the Church of England, and the doctrine, worship, discipline, and government thereof, as by law established in England? And will you preserve unto the Bishops and Clergy of England, and to the Churches there committed to their charge, all such rights and privileges, as by law do or shall appertain to them or any of them?

@@millennialodyssey5956 So you judge where or not the Queen of England was saved, on something that was written in script of a made up drama??

Also go check out a book called “The servant Queen and the King she serves.” Now you have a nice day, safe in the knowledge that even the Queen of England, like so many before her, bowed the knee to Jesus the King of Kings.
As a traditional Irish Catholic patriot myself, what really endeared me to Her Late Majesty was her deeply rooted and sincerely held Christian faith regardless of our respective denominations - there was always a sense of deep sincerity in her Christmas messages which always came across and which I always felt was direct from the heart - although I was raised in Vatican II myself, I’d came back to my faith 18 years ago, having friends and family who were Catholic Priests & Nuns and when I came back to my faith, I was drawn to the Traditional Latin Mass - during Covid, I taught myself to pray the Rosary in Latin and this was inspired by Her Late Majesty’s example of faith 🇮🇪☘️🇬🇧❤️🙏
One thing I would add to this scene that I believe is missing is that Billy Graham was always accompanied by another man within his ministry and was never left alone with another woman that wasn't his wife, even the Queen. The reasoning, which you can also find in his books, was to avoid any kind of scandals that may arise due to his popularity. I'm not sure exactly when he started doing that, but I would assume it was before his popularity gained him a meeting with the Queen. Religious or not, Billy Graham is 100% someone who lived by what he preached and he should be admired for that, and he never denied the Gospel to anybody. At that time, being a minority or a communist made you an outcast among some of the American circles, but Billy never cared. He would always say that Jesus died for them too. ✝️
Too bad her children and grandchildren haven’t followed her faith. Must have been difficult for her. As believers we so want our children and grandchildren to know the Lord.
Too bad? DID she instill faith in them? Hard to be disappointed in your children lacking something that you didn't cultivate. When multiple of someone's children goes astray in ways that contradict supposed family values, you have to question the parents. What happened? In one generation, we went form a king (the Queen's uncle) having to step down because he wanted to marry a divorced woman, to a prince (Charles) carrying on an affair with a married woman while he's married, and then later marrying his former mistress - after long-standing Church of England rules forbidding marriage after divorce were conveniently changed a few years after Diana's death. He was allowed to shirk his duties and have it all ways. So, what, exactly, was instilled in him? The result is that there are now two very average, unremarkable, and undeserving people sitting on the throne.
@@anyaw340 faith is not going to church. It’s a personal decision. Once outside the home, they are bombarded by the world. God only has children , not grandchildren.
@@anyaw340 it's true. Your first mission field as a parent is in your home. The Lord was clear if you teach them in the way they should they will NEVER depart from it. Unfortunately people teach their kids religion not truth and guess what? They grow up exactly how you raised them. When kids are taught that Christianity is just a set of values then obviously they will grow up thinking why not create my own set of values with a little bit of biblical ones? Everyone thinks they are Christian because they believe in a God that's "like" the one in the Bible. But they do not believe in the one true God at all or know Him or His son.
This was really interesting this episode. Made The Queen human and we see Elizabeth again. Won't forget her speech during the covid lockdowns "We will meet again". And not knowing at the time, she had bone cancer, standing on the balcony for the last time. She must have been in agony. Yet she stood there for the last time. That's courage.
Is that what she succumbed to, bone cancer? I heard something along the lines of cancer but never specifics. Poor thing. Losing Phillip broke her completely but I believe she held on to celebrate one last monumental historic achievement and then went willingly to her rest. My heart is with Charles and Kate now as they both battle cancer, and with their loved ones.
@@DarlingNikki2 yes it was only after her passing that released. Google it, it should come up. Poor thing. I know I wouldn't want to be trotted out in agony like that. Admire her legacy. Shortly the Commonwealth will help England in ways it didn't know it needed. Especially if Russia keeps threatening it
Death and announcement. The Queen died at 15:10 BST on 8 September 2022 at the age of 96. According to her death certificate, which was made public on 29 September, she died of old age. Official records say the longest-reigning monarch in British history died from old age at 96, but Gyles Brandreth, writing in Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait, said she had a form of bone marrow cancer called multiple myeloma in the last period of her life. Not proven just claimed
I wish all my Christian brothers/sisters would be as kind and gentle and understanding to others...as Billy Graham is in this scene here.....I so love this scene....
Billy Graham was just another charlatan. Theres a sucker born every minute. I read Billy once convinced Lyndon Johnson to invade Vietnam in order to spread christianity. Millions of Vietnamese lost their lives thanks Billy Graham. Amen. Pass the ammo.
@@ForceMaximus84 I have to disagree with you friend...some Christians are but way too many arent showing the kindness, the gentleness, and the putting others before yourself qualities that Jesus says to. But I have met Christians who are and oh they have such wonderful hearts for others!
Elizabeth was, as far as I know, a very committed Christian. She prayed every night before going to bed. As depicted in The Crown where she is discussing with Philip about how forgiveness was important to her and her desire to “rehabilitate “ the Duke of Windsor, her Uncle David. Of course Philip heard her out and then replied “ are you mad”? Whilst the Duke was not rehabilitated, Philip himself eventually “found faith”.
I'll admit, I have not watched this series (The Crown), but this video came into my TH-cam feed anyway. I find it a very timely reminder, especially considering Prince William's recent admission that he feels no affinity to the Anglican church. Unfortunately, Christianity has become too polarized politically in recent decades, and it has not had a positive effect on society or the faith. I have to wonder, has anyone ever bothered to sincerely and honestly share the Gospel with Prince William? Besides his late grandmother, is there anyone in his life that modeled a Christian life, or ministered to William and his family in a way that they would want to know Jesus themselves? Sadly, I doubt it. I hope and pray that Prince William and the people of England rediscover the anchor of Hope that is the Gospel.
I feel that a piece was missing in the way the Queen's children were raised, which would of course impact the way her grandchildren were raised, as well. Why have they (particularly her children - not so much her grandchildren) lived lives that so contradict her own personal conduct and religious values?
I knew the Queen was with Jesus in heaven when I saw pictures of the rainbow that appeared over the palace that day. Alongside her Christian faith, I think that was God’s way of saying both, I’m real! and “she’s with Me!”
The details here. Queen Elizabeth usually has her head up high with other officials and hands on lap. Here with Graham, it's more bowed down and shifted to the side with her hands clasped. She's also showing more emotions here than she does with even her own family members. It's like she's crushing on him but at the same time, respects the fact that he is a man of God.
@@SR-iy4gg Seriously?! 😒 You imagine both 👍🏼👍🏼 are as naive as you are pretending to be. If so? Remove the s and ‘insert’ y, voila there you have an extremely common experience shared by so many followers. Charisma promotes the mundane into a cult following. Also, enough banter it’s quite obvious you are as snowed as millions.
Yes, I got the impression she was smitten with him. Strong faithful religious family men are very attractive to women, especially in this era of total debauchery. Billy Graham’s son is very like his father. Matt Walsh is a strong man. We need so many real men as the Western man has been emasculated.
@@theonecounttheonecount8477 does that mean that we are not allowed to analyze the show? Yes I know that it is fiction, but it is based on fact, I’m just talking about how they depicted her here. We’re gonna do the “it’s a movie” argument, we really can’t talk about anything.
Paul Sparks does a really effective job portraying Graham and the scenes between him and Claire Foy are filled with deeply nuanced acting from both... but I still can't unsee him as Mickey Doyle from Boardwalk Empire. I won't lie, part of me really wanted him to do that stupid Mickey laugh during the sermon.
Great episode, great scene and great dialogue, as it magnificently portrays one of the many personal debacles the young queen (played by Claire Foy) is faced with. I am still inspired by the following, softly delivered words of reverend Billy Graham (played by Paul Sparks): "...one asks for forgiveness oneself, humbly and sincerely, and one prays for those that one cannot forgive." Such a biblical-based quote helps in taking away a part of the resentfulness one feels when facing a situation where one is not able to forgive.
Two leaders delighting in their joy in serving Christ and people cannot tolerate that in their comments. How bitter must be their final hours in a lifetime of worshipping only self.
"Each day is a new beginning, I know that the only way to live my life is to try to do what is right, to take the long view, to give of my best in all that the day brings, and to put my trust in God.” -Queen Elizabeth
This sounds blasphemous to me. It's why I've never understood the concept of God "picking" a leader to lead His people, and how this is considered acceptable in any Christian denomination. He is the ONLY sovereign - not a mere human being. Many of these people have had horrible morals.
Dr graham was the only male ( besides prince Philip) allowed to be alone with the Queen when he had his visits with her. Their friendship seems to be built on their mutual love and service to Christ. So there was nothing questionable about their private meetings. If only more women and men could have such friendships. Respect, admiration, and fidelity to the higher Authority is what many haveca hard time grasping and holding to when in their younger years.
This is false. Prime Ministers and world leaders were alone with her. British prime ministers in particular had confidential meetings with her on a very regular basis.
@@leoperidot482 HA! Can someone tell him that? The man doesn't even go to church, nor does he know how to so much as cite a scripture correctly. "You can do anything...grab her by the pu**y". Ah, yes, a TRUE man of God! 🙄If this is what a "godly" person looks like, then no wonder younger generations are running from the Church. All lip service and no TRUE morals or values. Using God and religion to justify hate and bad acts.
It warms my heart knowing an American helped lift the weight of the world off her shoulders. She said it here, “Above me there is only God.” I can’t imagine the pressure she felt she had to uphold and it was nice for that pressure to disappear for a little, if only for a day.
Billy Graham: What is a christian? The Bible tells us Colossians 1:27 says that a christian is a person in whom Christ dwells. It's Christ in you, the hope of glory. It means that you have a personal relationship with Lord Jesus Christ. That encounter has taken place, you have received Christ as Savior and that is what a Christian is.
I'm honestly very surpised this scene made it into the Crown. A lot of modern maintream movies and TV either censor Christianity from the role it has played in the lives of historical figures or try to frame it in a negative light. Thank God for whoever had the idea to film this scene!
🙏🙏🙏🕊🕊🕊 LORD have mercy What a gross pity and failure that charles, camilla and others don't take notes❗️ ......they would do well to do so and thus IMPROVE the example that are called to live in their PRIVELEGED POSITIONS of POWER and INFLUENCE 😪 LORD have mercy
I found the portrayal of her Christianity to be quite profound, esp when viewed from the perspective that we are "a Royal Priesthood" - Also later when Prince Philip had his encounter with the church leaders and formed the support group
I think like any other Christian mother her prayers was that her children and grandchildren would have their own personal relationship with Jesus Christ, as Reverend Billy Graham so often spoke about.
The world was a better place when the Queen was here. She loved the LORD and took her vows before him seriously. Charles on the other hand does not believe and look what's happening to the UK.
I like the Queen Mother's expression at :30 - She seems to be thinking "I should have had a double G and T before chapel today with the look on this one's face".
What you display when helping others is not religion, it is the virtue of charity. When you render unto God the praise, worship and service that He is due, by assisting at Holy Mass and through prayer, that is the virtue of religion.
@@SuperiFox When my father was a teenager in North Carolina, he met Billy Graham. Later, at 87, he was still impressed with the genuine faith of the man.

Who else feels like their Christian life is actually a product of people's opinions and fear of church People judging you rather than God and his Word as your sincere guide.
Too bad not all Christian preachers are as openminded as to what is a Christian. Come to think of it respectful of all faiths regardless of who they are, Christian and non Christian alike. And that goes for all people regardless of sexual orientation too. It's the contents of one's heart that matters most.
It's about following the Bible, not being "openminded." God and Jesus tell us very clearly what is right and wrong and what is involved with being a Christian. It's not up to us. And the Bible is also very clear about sexual sins too, which you seem to think are okay.
No it's good that few Christian preachers are whatever kind of fake, non-Christian, nebulous frauds you're imagining they should be. It's good that they pay no attention to what people like you think they should be.
@timheavrin2253 I attend many different churches from quite a few faiths. I can assure you from my experience most pastors are very good Christian men. There is immense pressure from secular atheists to change core biblical principles to accept homosexuality and child murder. I think it will always be difficult to convince most churches otherwise when the Bible is so clear on these issues. That being said all sinners are welcome in most churches.
The Bible says that the heart is deceitful and yes, that matters. That is why we need the Lord to create in us a new heart, one that is in alignment with His ways.
What a tragically superficial response from the queen, and Graham didn't push the truth with her; as it was, he created havoc in England with his superficially false conversions.
Me also. Although brought up catholic, I realised in my teens that I didn’t believe a word of it, and never had! It’s weird how you grow up just going along with things so as not to upset the family, but you get to the point where you’ve had enough. 🤷
The lack of self awareness is astonishing but hardly surprising, thinking of one’s self as a “simple Christian” and yet living in an actual Palace is quite the set of competing realities. Christ’s “Kingdom” was spiritual, not material.
Didn't king David live in a palace? Are you saying a person can't be Christian or godly because they live in a palace? That's not in my Bible honey. You just sound jealous.
Poor Elizabeth, fooled by this charlatan. He gets into a Mercedes and is driven away, never worrying about the less fortunate. Back to his mansion and an entire university named after him, which increased his wealth dramatically. But the poor never did benefit. He kept all that money for his own glorification.
Billy Graham never took a dime from his ministry or ministry activities. He supported his own self with the proceeds of his dairy farm and writings. He never boasted about it so the avaricious and foolish fill in the blanks with their own projections of what they would do with the power and influence he attained. Every penny raised by Billy Graham went to his causes, which went way beyond evangelistic campaigns.
Billy Graham’s salary was set by a board of directors, none of whom were relatives of his. The Board of Directors set Billy Graham’s salary at a strictly middle-class level.
Dude I'm not even an evangelical, but I've attended one of his revivals and he was eminently sincere, specifically talked about the importance of ending racism and each night ended with a collection of food that went to all the local food banks regardless of which denomination operated them. I'm not an altar call type Christian, I'm actually suspicious of histrionic faith, and a lot of evangelical Christianity turns me off -- but I have to say he did seem to be sincere in his faith and I found many of the people who attended the revival to be very welcoming and kind -- and not one of them asked me for money.

@@anyaw340 it's true. Your first mission field as a parent is in your home. The Lord was clear if you teach them in the way they should they will NEVER depart from it. Unfortunately people teach their kids religion not truth and guess what? They grow up exactly how you raised them. When kids are taught that Christianity is just a set of values then obviously they will grow up thinking why not create my own set of values with a little bit of biblical ones? Everyone thinks they are Christian because they believe in a God that's "like" the one in the Bible. But they do not believe in the one true God at all or know Him or His son.
@@millennialodyssey5956I guess you either have no children or you are lucky that they all have faith and attribute that to their godly upbringing.
Children have free will and are not machines. It is not: If you press the right buttons you get the right result.
She was a wonderful soul! I'm American, and I miss her too. One in a million.
Wow, his voice completely sounds like Rev. Billy Graham. Amazing.
Paul Sparks has such a great voice to start with. He did very well in this role
What a lovely accent he had.
The actor portraying Billy Graham did a good job.
This was really interesting this episode. Made The Queen human and we see Elizabeth again. Won't forget her speech during the covid lockdowns "We will meet again". And not knowing at the time, she had bone cancer, standing on the balcony for the last time. She must have been in agony. Yet she stood there for the last time. That's courage.
Is that what she succumbed to, bone cancer? I heard something along the lines of cancer but never specifics. Poor thing. Losing Phillip broke her completely but I believe she held on to celebrate one last monumental historic achievement and then went willingly to her rest. My heart is with Charles and Kate now as they both battle cancer, and with their loved ones.
@@DarlingNikki2 yes it was only after her passing that released. Google it, it should come up. Poor thing. I know I wouldn't want to be trotted out in agony like that. Admire her legacy. Shortly the Commonwealth will help England in ways it didn't know it needed. Especially if Russia keeps threatening it
Death and announcement. The Queen died at 15:10 BST on 8 September 2022 at the age of 96. According to her death certificate, which was made public on 29 September, she died of old age.
Official records say the longest-reigning monarch in British history died from old age at 96, but Gyles Brandreth, writing in Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait, said she had a form of bone marrow cancer called multiple myeloma in the last period of her life.
Not proven just claimed
She probably should have spoken out against the fascist lockdowns
What??? I never heard the Queen had bone cancer😱
I wish all my Christian brothers/sisters would be as kind and gentle and understanding to others...as Billy Graham is in this scene here.....I so love this scene....
Billy Graham was just another charlatan. Theres a sucker born every minute. I read Billy once convinced Lyndon Johnson to invade Vietnam in order to spread christianity. Millions of Vietnamese lost their lives thanks Billy Graham. Amen. Pass the ammo.
Most are, but a lot of people don’t want to hear that they need to change their ways and get out of their sin.
@@ForceMaximus84 I have to disagree with you friend...some Christians are but way too many arent showing the kindness, the gentleness, and the putting others before yourself qualities that Jesus says to. But I have met Christians who are and oh they have such wonderful hearts for others!

@@ForceMaximus84 Umm...i disagree...some are...most definitely are not...
I'm glad he was able to counsel her and it looked like they were able to relate as friends.
Elizabeth was, as far as I know, a very committed Christian. She prayed every night before going to bed. As depicted in The Crown where she is discussing with Philip about how forgiveness was important to her and her desire to “rehabilitate “ the Duke of Windsor, her Uncle David. Of course Philip heard her out and then replied “ are you mad”? Whilst the Duke was not rehabilitated, Philip himself eventually “found faith”.
@@michaelhayden725 Philip did not find faith. You people are willfully blind.
@@theonecounttheonecount8477He did in this show after his mother visited the family. Watch the next season.
What people don't know is she was muslim. Best kept secret ever.
@@leoperidot482 please explain?
@@leoperidot482 She was a freemason. She couldn't be "the head of the church" because Jesus is. There is only one head and one body.
I'll admit, I have not watched this series (The Crown), but this video came into my TH-cam feed anyway. I find it a very timely reminder, especially considering Prince William's recent admission that he feels no affinity to the Anglican church. Unfortunately, Christianity has become too polarized politically in recent decades, and it has not had a positive effect on society or the faith. I have to wonder, has anyone ever bothered to sincerely and honestly share the Gospel with Prince William? Besides his late grandmother, is there anyone in his life that modeled a Christian life, or ministered to William and his family in a way that they would want to know Jesus themselves? Sadly, I doubt it. I hope and pray that Prince William and the people of England rediscover the anchor of Hope that is the Gospel.
I feel that a piece was missing in the way the Queen's children were raised, which would of course impact the way her grandchildren were raised, as well. Why have they (particularly her children - not so much her grandchildren) lived lives that so contradict her own personal conduct and religious values?
Amen.
I knew the Queen was with Jesus in heaven when I saw pictures of the rainbow that appeared over the palace that day. Alongside her Christian faith, I think that was God’s way of saying both, I’m real! and “she’s with Me!”
The values of Christian living ruled me, guide me and define me
A simple Christian in whom Christ dwells.❤
Hmmm
A simple Christian ❤
The details here. Queen Elizabeth usually has her head up high with other officials and hands on lap. Here with Graham, it's more bowed down and shifted to the side with her hands clasped. She's also showing more emotions here than she does with even her own family members. It's like she's crushing on him but at the same time, respects the fact that he is a man of God.

You imagine both 👍🏼👍🏼 are as naive as you are pretending to be.

Remove the s and ‘insert’ y, voila there you have an extremely common experience shared by so many followers.
Charisma promotes the mundane into a cult following.
Also, enough banter it’s quite obvious you are as snowed as millions.
Yes, I got the impression she was smitten with him. Strong faithful religious family men are very attractive to women, especially in this era of total debauchery. Billy Graham’s son is very like his father. Matt Walsh is a strong man. We need so many real men as the Western man has been emasculated.
@@lordalessan It's a movie, people!
@@theonecounttheonecount8477 does that mean that we are not allowed to analyze the show? Yes I know that it is fiction, but it is based on fact, I’m just talking about how they depicted her here. We’re gonna do the “it’s a movie” argument, we really can’t talk about anything.
Paul Sparks does a really effective job portraying Graham and the scenes between him and Claire Foy are filled with deeply nuanced acting from both... but I still can't unsee him as Mickey Doyle from Boardwalk Empire. I won't lie, part of me really wanted him to do that stupid Mickey laugh during the sermon.
I guess it's a good thing that I haven't seen his other work as an actor!
oh was that him?? ohhhh
This was on mainstream television??? Pleasantly surprised. Really enjoyed that. I've never watched The Crown. Maybe I should.
I love her yellow outfit, and I was laughing at Philip asking about his salesman's brushes. I really love how at peace she is.
Never watched a single episode, and now I want to watch the whole series!
Great episode, great scene and great dialogue, as it magnificently portrays one of the many personal debacles the young queen (played by Claire Foy) is faced with.
I am still inspired by the following, softly delivered words of reverend Billy Graham (played by Paul Sparks): "...one asks for forgiveness oneself, humbly and sincerely, and one prays for those that one cannot forgive." Such a biblical-based quote helps in taking away a part of the resentfulness one feels when facing a situation where one is not able to forgive.
What debacle?
Learn to use the word debacle correctly please
Billy! “Americas pastor” wonderful
Two leaders delighting in their joy in serving Christ and people cannot tolerate that in their comments. How bitter must be their final hours in a lifetime of worshipping only self.
Man I love this actor.
From a poor boy in North Carolina to meeting with Queens and Presidents.
And it's no wonder when she passed a great DOUBLE rainbow appeared! Wow. #lovethis
"Each day is a new beginning, I know that the only way to live my life is to try to do what is right, to take the long view, to give of my best in all that the day brings, and to put my trust in God.” -Queen Elizabeth
She was sovereign to so many, but God was hers.
This sounds blasphemous to me. It's why I've never understood the concept of God "picking" a leader to lead His people, and how this is considered acceptable in any Christian denomination. He is the ONLY sovereign - not a mere human being. Many of these people have had horrible morals.
I've never seen this show but this was very encouraging to me as a Christian
Very sweet clip
Her Majesty was a wonderful woman - we will never see another like her 🇮🇪☘️🇬🇧❤️🙏
@@michaeljohndennis2231 until we do; People always say that about someone, and then life goes on and there are other wonderful people.
Dr graham was the only male ( besides prince Philip) allowed to be alone with the Queen when he had his visits with her. Their friendship seems to be built on their mutual love and service to Christ. So there was nothing questionable about their private meetings. If only more women and men could have such friendships. Respect, admiration, and fidelity to the higher Authority is what many haveca hard time grasping and holding to when in their younger years.
This is false. Prime Ministers and world leaders were alone with her. British prime ministers in particular had confidential meetings with her on a very regular basis.
God makes it very hard to be a king and a queen. That’s why he sends his prophets and preachers to guide them and lead them spiritually.
Man this dude sounds just like Billy Graham.
This show is so good. I've watched it twice. Just loads of talent.
She was a godly person, what we have lost when she left us.
You know who is a godly person? Donald Trump Sr!
Definitely not @@leoperidot482
@@leoperidot482 HA! Can someone tell him that? The man doesn't even go to church, nor does he know how to so much as cite a scripture correctly. "You can do anything...grab her by the pu**y". Ah, yes, a TRUE man of God! 🙄If this is what a "godly" person looks like, then no wonder younger generations are running from the Church. All lip service and no TRUE morals or values. Using God and religion to justify hate and bad acts.
It warms my heart knowing an American helped lift the weight of the world off her shoulders. She said it here, “Above me there is only God.” I can’t imagine the pressure she felt she had to uphold and it was nice for that pressure to disappear for a little, if only for a day.
I'm glad this actor didn't attempt to mimic Dr. Graham's voice.
Billy Graham: What is a christian? The Bible tells us Colossians 1:27 says that a christian is a person in whom Christ dwells. It's Christ in you, the hope of glory. It means that you have a personal relationship with Lord Jesus Christ. That encounter has taken place, you have received Christ as Savior and that is what a Christian is.
Billy Graham breaking the Billy Graham Rule.
They were in a huge corridor
This is fascinating
This is one of my favorite episodes❤
I'm honestly very surpised this scene made it into the Crown. A lot of modern maintream movies and TV either censor Christianity from the role it has played in the lives of historical figures or try to frame it in a negative light. Thank God for whoever had the idea to film this scene!
🙏🙏🙏🕊🕊🕊
LORD have mercy
What a gross pity
and failure
that charles, camilla and others don't take notes❗️
......they would do well to do so and thus IMPROVE the example that are called to live in their PRIVELEGED
POSITIONS of POWER and INFLUENCE
😪 LORD have mercy
God bless Billy Graham!
What much needed love, comfort, surrender and strength the great late Queen Elizabeth II must have found in our Lord and Savior ❤❤
Paul Sparks does a great job here...
Billy Graham was quite the legend here in the US and around the world! He did God's work for a lifetime, and was rewarded with a long life to do so!
Simple Christian here … and the child of a mighty God and Father.
This is historically inaccurate, Billy Graham had a rule that he would never be alone in a room with a woman who was not his wife or relative
I found the portrayal of her Christianity to be quite profound, esp when viewed from the perspective that we are "a Royal Priesthood" - Also later when Prince Philip had his encounter with the church leaders and formed the support group
Powerful use of silence
I think like any other Christian mother her prayers was that her children and grandchildren would have their own personal relationship with Jesus Christ, as Reverend Billy Graham so often spoke about.
A moving portrayal by all involved.
Aaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwww - great upload! But - the part about forgiving...! 🥲 Anyway, thank you.
When we lost both Billy Graham and Mother Angelica, it really was the end of an era. Both had Christ.
Good! Graham was just another swindler.
The world was a better place when the Queen was here. She loved the LORD and took her vows before him seriously. Charles on the other hand does not believe and look what's happening to the UK.
God save the Queen!!!
In the thumbnail she looks like that "I so pale" newscaster.
I like the Queen Mother's expression at :30 - She seems to be thinking "I should have had a double G and T before chapel today with the look on this one's face".
I hope he was clear about repentance.
❤#ClaireFoy @#QueenElizabethll❣️
That actor is in Boardwalk Empire I think
I wish Christian films or faith based films would do far better on prosthetics and make up. Like actually make the character look like Billy Graham.
I am a bit religious when it comes to making donations and helping people in need, but I am spiritual, Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior
What you display when helping others is not religion, it is the virtue of charity. When you render unto God the praise, worship and service that He is due, by assisting at Holy Mass and through prayer, that is the virtue of religion.

He was uncorrupted as an evangelist. He was a conduit of the scripture and Christian tradition.
No he was politically insidious
Really? Because the God he preached about advocated Slavery in Exodus. Read your Bible, then talk.
@@SuperiFox When my father was a teenager in North Carolina, he met Billy Graham. Later, at 87, he was still impressed with the genuine faith of the man.
I'm sorry but his universalism says otherwise.
He was an unapologetic anti-Semitic Jew hater, just like his son.
Which episode is this?

however the "values of Christian living" do not a Christian make.
having a lifestyle is not the same as having LIFE itself
and neither is committing oneself to sound doctrine the same thing as believing said sound doctrine.
As this is a movie i have no idea if the queen ever said such things as this for movies are the LAST place to go to learn about history
Indeed, I have a hard time believing in the portrayal of either characters in this scene.
25 years old Christian
Woah a film like this really was ?
I very well doubt he actually met one on one with a woman. Even the queen!
Elizabeth, the last Christian monarch and Billy Graham, the last great evangelist. Alas.
that dude doesnt sound or look like billy graham at all
Whats wrong with prince phillip in this scene? He looks a but uncomfortable
In the episode, his atheism and her Christianity clash
She had unusual taste.
That's what he said.

paul sparks is all wrong for billy graham, too sedate, not charismatic enough
inaccurate. BIlly would never enter a room alone with a woman.
I can do a much better Billy Graham…..
And NOW, England has BANNED his son, Rev. Franklin Graham from preaching there!!! Horrible!
Not true, venues chose to cancel due to the homophobia in his preachings but this was rescheduled for mid 2022 and he completed his tour. No one was banned and private companies have the right to refuse access to anyone who preaches values incompatible with UK culture.
Maybe that's because he's a pro-Trump fascist
And you are misrepresenting the actual truth which, as a Christian, should stand out to you, not only as a lie but also as bearing false witness.😐

Who else feels like their Christian life is actually a product of people's opinions and fear of church People judging you rather than God and his Word as your sincere guide.
Too bad not all Christian preachers are as openminded as to what is a Christian. Come to think of it respectful of all faiths regardless of who they are, Christian and non Christian alike. And that goes for all people regardless of sexual orientation too. It's the contents of one's heart that matters most.
It's about following the Bible, not being "openminded." God and Jesus tell us very clearly what is right and wrong and what is involved with being a Christian. It's not up to us. And the Bible is also very clear about sexual sins too, which you seem to think are okay.
No it's good that few Christian preachers are whatever kind of fake, non-Christian, nebulous frauds you're imagining they should be. It's good that they pay no attention to what people like you think they should be.
@timheavrin2253 I attend many different churches from quite a few faiths. I can assure you from my experience most pastors are very good Christian men. There is immense pressure from secular atheists to change core biblical principles to accept homosexuality and child murder. I think it will always be difficult to convince most churches otherwise when the Bible is so clear on these issues. That being said all sinners are welcome in most churches.
The Bible says that the heart is deceitful and yes, that matters. That is why we need the Lord to create in us a new heart, one that is in alignment with His ways.
What a tragically superficial response from the queen, and Graham didn't push the truth with her; as it was, he created havoc in England with his superficially false conversions.
what a garbage scen
I love Prince Phillip’s “bullshit” expression. That’s me around any and all religious nonsense.
Me also. Although brought up catholic, I realised in my teens that I didn’t believe a word of it, and never had! It’s weird how you grow up just going along with things so as not to upset the family, but you get to the point where you’ve had enough. 🤷

The lack of self awareness is astonishing but hardly surprising, thinking of one’s self as a “simple Christian” and yet living in an actual Palace is quite the set of competing realities. Christ’s “Kingdom” was spiritual, not material.
Are you ignorant?
Shall we delete heaven then? From what I hear it's quite... Palatial
Didn't king David live in a palace? Are you saying a person can't be Christian or godly because they live in a palace? That's not in my Bible honey. You just sound jealous.
the queen and the conman.. two peas in a pod
Thank you! See I'm not the only one who thinks Billy Graham and his family are charlatans and swindlers.
Poor Elizabeth, fooled by this charlatan. He gets into a Mercedes and is driven away, never worrying about the less fortunate. Back to his mansion and an entire university named after him, which increased his wealth dramatically. But the poor never did benefit. He kept all that money for his own glorification.
Billy Graham did not have a university named after him. He actually lived rather simply. Now his son Franklin is a bit different from his Father.
Billy Graham never took a dime from his ministry or ministry activities. He supported his own self with the proceeds of his dairy farm and writings. He never boasted about it so the avaricious and foolish fill in the blanks with their own projections of what they would do with the power and influence he attained. Every penny raised by Billy Graham went to his causes, which went way beyond evangelistic campaigns.
Billy Graham’s salary was set by a board of directors, none of whom were relatives of his. The Board of Directors set Billy Graham’s salary at a strictly middle-class level.
Dude I'm not even an evangelical, but I've attended one of his revivals and he was eminently sincere, specifically talked about the importance of ending racism and each night ended with a collection of food that went to all the local food banks regardless of which denomination operated them. I'm not an altar call type Christian, I'm actually suspicious of histrionic faith, and a lot of evangelical Christianity turns me off -- but I have to say he did seem to be sincere in his faith and I found many of the people who attended the revival to be very welcoming and kind -- and not one of them asked me for money.
Those cars were not Mercedes, and they belonged to Buckingham place. Graham was being transport as a curtesy to a guest of the Queen.
