PAT ROBERTSON

[ezekiel]

ok, i said it. i think this guy is doing very bad things for the kingdom of God. he is turning a lot of folks away from christianity. we REALLY need to pray for this guy. anyone have any words about this situation? he said aroel sharon is reaping Gods veangeance for giving palestinians the gaza strip....he is using the bible to back this. we should all pray for sharon and israel...oh and if you are anti-semetic??? read the bible again!!!

Ya, I heard about this on the news. I was greatly troubled by it.

[createsalvation]

I didn't hear about that. Nevertheless, my prayers go out to him to open his eyes or something like that.

Politically, I am far from liberal (very conservative, in fact), but Pat Robertson is scary! I used to like him somewhat in the eighties, but in the past few years, he has gone off of the deep end! He advocated assassinating the Columbian President earlier this year, now this! Personally, I believe that the only way to peace in that region is for Isreal to pull out of the Gaza strip and recognize the Palestinian state. Seriously, you aren't talking about dividing the country in half or something, they are only talking about a relatively small area, so he's not dividing Isreal up big-time. I really do not believe that God likes all of the fighting and suicide bombings that are occurring over this either.

As for being anti-semitic, anybody who is Christian should still feel kinship with the Jewish people, not hatred. The Christian Church started with Jesus, but the Jewish people were Jesus' people in His time, and God's chosen people. I disagree with their beliefs about Jesus, of course, but I consider them as being worthy of respect, because as long as we are all playing on God's team we should accept them as brothers.

amen,bro!i hate war. its so indiscriminate as to who gets killed or stomped in its path.but you cant blame our jewish brothers and sisters for defending themselves. i say give them gaza and when they start it up again-flush the toilet on them!!!the jews totally have been victimized over the last century---russia--then germany---now they have to deal with the evils of islamist zealots bent on the destruction of israel.

[crazywaffle]

Yeah, i hate war too, and my dad said pat robertson is insane

[ezekiel]

your dad is probably pretty smart if hes from illinois!(i grew up in rockford then went to jr. and sr. high in harvard near the wisconsin border) i hope ill make cornerstone! its a long way from cali to illinois!! i cant call the man insane-hes my brother in Christ. i just hope and pray that hes truly led bty the spirit before he opens that mouth of his!!!

[crazywaffle]

Yeah, he says a lot of things about politics (he's got a really strong opinion on politics). And he doesn't always watch his mouth. But i don't really get into politics like he does

There will NEVER be peace over there I'm afraid. Mainly because the Palestinians absolutely HATE Israel, they are taught to hate the Jews from birth. They will never be satisfied until they drive the Jews completely out of Israel. I understand that to broker some sort of peace the Israelis need to compromise some what but I don't think giving up land is smart either. But then again I think it's only gonna get worse and worse until the Lord returns. In an ideal world there would be some why to achieve peace between the two nations but that's not the world we're living in and when it comes down to it I will side with Israel EVERY time.

On the subject of Pat Robertson, I don't care for him much either because alot of his views have become rather odd and not very doctrinally sound. And there is something about him I can't put my finger on that I don't trust he seems very fake to me.
