NORTH CAROLINA -- Facebook is apologizing to Franklin Graham for banning him from posting on the social media site.

The company says a decision last week was a mistake. A member of its content review team decided that a post from Graham in 2016 about house bill two violated Facebook's policy on "dehumanizing language."

Yesterday, Graham tweeted: I thank @Facebook for their apology and I accept it. All truth is in the Lord Jesus Christ, who is “the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” I would encourage all Christians—as well as Facebook—to stand on God’s Word and His truth."
