WOW! I wonder at the vitriolic slander pouring forth against a moral, conservative Christian gentleman from fellow freepers. It appears there are those among us who instantly respond to blood sport spawned by the secular press against one of our own.
I happen to concur with Pat that giving up land to people who hate Jews will likely be the Israel's undoing, may God forbid.
If Pat Robertson chooses to use descriptive words to get his point across, it's no skin off our noses. His faith will see him through all the garbage thrown at him I am certain. It's just sad to see mob mentality at work against a good man.
I haven't slandered him at all. I know his words at times have been wrong and I am merely holding him accountable.
I've stated I believe him to be a Christian and in general, well-intentioned.
All leaders, if unchecked, succumb to the vice of self importance. Moses did. Thinking you are indispensible to God. That is where Jim Jones and David Koresh succumbed to evil.
Robertson thinks he speaks for God. He most assuredly does not. And this "God is more Zionist than the Israelis themselves choose to be" gospel is a gross distortion of scripture. It is not "Bible" at all, whatever Pat Robertson says so he has no right whatsoever to tell Israelis what to fight and die for.
Pat Robertson claimed President Bush told him the United States would go to war against Iraq, before anyone else knew of it. The President denied it, and in fact, it was later proven the Robertson was not even in town when he claimed the President made such statements.
I do not consider him moral in the least, and the fact that he is "Christian" is irrelevant. He has a long history of saying and doing things that lead me to believe he is not "one of us", whatever that even means.
Beware false profits.
