How about this, and I mean it respectfully: as an ambassador for Christ – and one who should be following The Great Commission – Robertson should support the rule of law.
Whether we like it or not, Chavez was – as far as I can tell, more or less – elected legally. Assassinating an elected leader is not the same as assassinating a self-imposed tyrant (although both may be tyrants). Assassination has many negative implications.
If Robertson wants to be a foreign policy advisor that is one thing, and he should act accordingly. If he wants to save souls for Christ that is another thing; and advocating killing a duly elected – although highly objectionably – head of state will, in my opinion, turn off a large number of people.
I realize that true conversion requires the intervention of the Holy Spirit, but there must be desire or intent. If by his statement Robertson is loosing souls to salvation, do you think that is not Christian?
Best argument I've heard so far.
I can't disagree with you on this point.
