The woke mind virus is sweeping through all of society.

No institution is being left untouched by this poisonous ideology.

And Franklin Graham gave a Christian publication a reality check about this woke betrayal.A Christian magazine set off a firestorm on social media when it used the Christmas season to push woke nonsense about the origin of Jesus.

Christian Today published an article by Victoria Emily Jones that claimed that Jesus was Asian.

The article examined how Jesus was portrayed in the art of various Asian countries.

“Jesus was born in Asia. He was Asian. The artists in this photo essay bring him back to Asia—but not to ancient Israel,” Christianity Today wrote on social media.

The photo essay touched on Muslim, Hindu, and Buddhist contributions to “Asian Nativity imagery.” “By representing Jesus as Japanese, Indonesian, or Indian, they convey a sense of God’s immanence, his ‘with-us–ness,’ for their own communities–and for everyone else, the universality of Christ’s birth,” Jones wrote.

Christianity Today was founded in the 1950s by the late evangelist Billy Graham but has lost its way after embracing a left-wing political agenda.

Evangelist Franklin Graham ripped the magazine that his dad founded for its highly inaccurate depiction of Jesus on social media.

“[Christianity Today] is being criticized for their article about artists depicting Jesus as Asian—and I also have to ask why they would publish something so far off base. We don’t have to wonder or speculate about this—the Bible gives us very specific details about Jesus’ earthly lineage and where He was born and grew up. We know that Jesus was Jewish. However, if you don’t believe the Bible or accept it as the Word of God, then everything is in question,” Graham wrote.

“Guess what—we don’t get to make God in our own image. He is Who He is! We must be on guard against anything or anyone who attempts to undermine the authority of the Word of God,” Graham added, linking to a Fox News article on the backlash.

This isn’t the first time that Franklin Graham has criticized Christianity Today.

The magazine called for former President Donald Trump to be impeached and removed from office in 2019 during the Ukraine impeachment hoax pushed by Democrats.

“That [Trump] should be removed, we believe, is not a matter of partisan loyalties but loyalty to the Creator of the Ten Commandments,” Christianity Today wrote.

Graham noted that his father voted for Trump in 2016 before his passing and said that the magazine had been co-opted by the Left to push its political agenda.

“It’s obvious that Christianity Today has moved to the left and is representing the elitist liberal wing of evangelicalism,” Graham said.

Sadly, even Jesus isn’t safe from being targeted by the woke mind virus.
