Whenever an issue comes up where someone points to something from the OT, such as stoning prostitutes and such, the response is that things like that were left behind because of Jesus, and his death on the cross... OK, yet, whenever some oddball like Robertson comes along with some idea like this, out comes the OT as justification. So, which is it? Either Robertson is a Hypocrite, OR you've been slacking as I haven't seen you out stoning Hookers...

What a distorted concept of the Bible and what Christ taught.

I suppose you think that because of Jesus we should let terrorists massacre our people and do NOTHING to retaliate because of we must "forgive"???

We should have allowed the BTK murderer go free because of Jesus and the NT?

Do I really have to explain these things to you?

Nice try!

Time for that "word" again ~ ANTINOMIANISM.

Be aware there are variations in the spelling here, but the idea is that since grace is given by God on His own terms, ALL is forgiven!

The Antinomianists used to gather in the plaza in front of the Cathedral or other church and take off their clothes to show that "God Forgives". (They did this in an age when people thought God would strike you with a lightning bolt for doing something like that. Today the antinomianists claim people like Chavez are democratically elected civil saints. They dare you to take their clothes off.)

Boy, you sure do love to deal in extremes! As if there's no other option between letting murderers go free and whacking them.

What I can tell you is that Christ didn't have very much to say at all about politics. And despite how you'd like to use religion to pimp your foreign policy ideas, their is no religious objectives to be accomplished by assassinating Chavez.
