The other day, @WalterandDebbie posted a video from youtube of Billy Graham claiming that Sunday worship is pagan- sun god etc... it appeared authentic..
@marks suggested that it was AI generated. I contacted the Billy Graham association and asked them. Please read the email below that they sent me confirming it is a fake AI generated video. They are asking for help.
Good job marks. This is REALLY DISTURBING. How can we ever trust any video again? on TV- or online?
If they can get away with it with someone like Billy Graham what about any one of us? They can make anyone say anything. Please bump this thread so all read this.

Thank you for reaching out to us regarding AI-generated Billy Graham sermons and channels on YouTube.

Dear --x-x-x

We are aware of the issue and working to mitigate the situation. Unfortunately, in this quickly evolving AI / social media environment, there are several complicating factors, and it can take weeks to successfully remove a video from YouTube (let alone an entire channel). As we continue to work through this challenge, we encourage you to visit Billy Graham Evangelistic Association for authentic content from Billy Graham and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.

If you come across fake Billy Graham YouTube channels or videos, we invite you to:

1. Send any additional relevant YouTube links to [email protected].
2. Share the official @billygraham link in the comments section of AI-generated videos if you are able.

Please join us in praying that this situation can be fully resolved, and that people won’t be thrown into confusion or led astray by these false videos.

May God bless you.
Sincerely,

I just watched the video (actually there are a few) it's obviously AI generated, you can tell. As to your questions:

Good job marks. This is REALLY DISTURBING. How can we ever trust any video again? on TV- or online?
If they can get away with it with someone like Billy Graham what about any one of us? They can make anyone say anything. Please bump this thread so all read this.
Apparently, they can get away with it. The adversary is busy and will leave no stone unturned to deceive the masses. Next thing you'll see is Jesus coming on the clouds.

Blood washed Saints who are filled with the Holy Spirit only need the words of God from the Holy Scriptures and Fellowship with the Saints in the Light.

Look FORWARD by seeking to be Baptized in the Holy Spirit and have Him be your Guide thru the Holy Scriptures of Truth.

Refresh yourself daily with the Living Word, prayer, fellowship, faith and sharing the Gospel.

the false pre-trib rapture is the current deception and it will grow even deeper in the hearts and minds of many.

Matthew 24:23-25
At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.
For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive even the elect, if that were possible. See, I have told you in advance.

There are AI mental health therapists now. An algorithm is going to assess someone's state of mind.

AI is being exploited by the criminal element. That was inevitable .

Praying.

Amen, to all of that my brother.
My concern is the same one I have about this forum. At any given time there are 3-400 lurkers reading here, and although it's entitled Christianity Boards- those lurkers are reading utter heresy thinking it's Christian due to allowing cults to post along with us. They tag themselves as Christian as well.
It's a shame that there isn't a set place for them to post (if they must at all) and are restricted to stay only there. Cults don't come here to interact with us- it's to confuse and covert and as I have been informed by one - they lure people to PM here thanks to with a moderator suggestion.
The very reason I joined here was one day I read a thread or two and noticed the JWs here teaching others with long winded posts. Having been raised in that deception of heresies, I can tell you that is it extremely difficult being unraveled from all of the lies. I dont wish that on Anyone, hence my concern for lurkers who very well could be seekers.

Many of the mature Christians here just put them on ignore- while that seems reasonable ie: casting pearls, shaking the dust etc.. in real life that is best, but what it does on a public forum is leave the posts unchecked by less informed Christians who don't know what they teach so they aren't certain about how to counter them. Also, and this is very important is, they don't know not to take the cult bait. JWs are required to go to weekly classes where they learn exactly what to say , how to say it, what not to say, how to steer the conversation and divert. You will see how the try to steer and divert every topic to the trinity or soul sleep vs hellfire. It is bait! it is to divert when they don't like the subject at hand. Never take the bait- it's a distraction into an endless debate. Keep their feet to fire at hand.
I truly am concerned for innocent people who may join here and aren't born again yet and for those 3-400 lurking.

Sorry but that video of Billy Graham made me see the parallels. It's just not caring for others to allow this.

Are the moderators going to delete the thread with the fake sermon? As long as it's up it can be found here. Even if people Google search a Billy Graham sermon their thread could show in the results.
I will delete it- thank you for letting us know. Just checked and it has already been dealt with xxx
