Pat Robertson: Sharon Punished for Dividing Israel
JTA ^ | 1/5/06

Posted on 01/05/2006 10:59:44 AM PST by areafiftyone

The Rev. Pat Robertson said Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is being punished by God for dividing the Land of Israel. Robertson, speaking on the “700 Club” on Thursday, suggested Sharon, who is currently in an induced coma, and former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, assassinated by an Israeli extremist in 1995, were being treated with enmity by God for dividing Israel. “He was dividing God’s land,” Robertson said. “And I would say, Woe unto any prime minister of Israel who takes a similar course to appease the E.U., the United Nations or the United States of America. God says, This land belongs to me. You better leave it alone.”

Does the Bible support his argument? I haven't seen a refutation of what he's saying. Just a bunch of whining from "offended" freepers.

That's what I was thinking. Last time I read it, it said that. I'm not sure what it says would be the situation after the return from the diaspora which I believe has happened in our times.

I am cognizant of modern statesmen having to walk a fine line with reality and other religions.

And it is not PC to say in public anything controversial in the bible, just love your neighbor PC things now, a little reivisionism here, and little revisionism there, itching ears and all.

Luke 13:2 - And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? (3) I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. (4) Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? (5) I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

I was thinking the same thing.

There is no direct quote. Last time a Freeper posted a so-called ridiculous statement by Robertson the SAME THING happened. No direct quote.

I don't believe in Robertson's political views on a lot of things, including Israel, but he in unfairly maligned most of the time.

Oh, boy! Old Pat sure must be fond of sucking on his foot.

I suppose he heard this straight from Jesus.

"God: Yeah, Pat... That's kind of what I'm calling about. Pat: What's up, Boss? God: You need to stop speaking for me before I shove a bolt of lightning up your ass. Pat: Huh? God: You heard me! Knock it off... I'm tired of making excuses for you. Pat: Excuses to whom? God: Oh, you know... just.. people. Pat: Is someone reporting to you behind my back? God: Yes, but I'm taking that secret to your grave. Hehe, little joke. Moses thinks it's time to give you leprosy. He's got a great sense of humor like that.

ROFL - priceless!!!!

Anyone taking Pat seriously?

Yes, the young Muslim men in their hellhole countries will be taking the Islamoterrorist media's spin on this quite seriously. I guarantee that a few more homicide/suicide bombers will be recruited as a result of this disgusting statement.

From Joshua 23:
23A long time afterwards, when the Lord had given rest to Israel from all their enemies all around, and Joshua was old and well advanced in years, 2Joshua summoned all Israel, their elders and heads, their judges and officers, and said to them, ‘I am now old and well advanced in years; 3and you have seen all that the Lord your God has done to all these nations for your sake, for it is the Lord your God who has fought for you. 4I have allotted to you as an inheritance for your tribes those nations that remain, along with all the nations that I have already cut off, from the Jordan to the Great Sea in the west. 5The Lord your God will push them back before you, and drive them out of your sight; and you shall possess their land, as the Lord your God promised you. 6Therefore be very steadfast to observe and do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, turning aside from it neither to the right nor to the left, 7so that you may not be mixed with these nations left here among you, or make mention of the names of their gods, or swear by them, or serve them, or bow yourselves down to them, 8but hold fast to the Lord your God, as you have done to this day. 9For the Lord has driven out before you great and strong nations; and as for you, no one has been able to withstand you to this day. 10One of you puts to flight a thousand, since it is the Lord your God who fights for you, as he promised you. 11Be very careful, therefore, to love the Lord your God. 12For if you turn back, and join the survivors of these nations left here among you, and intermarry with them, so that you marry their women and they yours, 13know assuredly that the Lord your God will not continue to drive out these nations before you; but they shall be a snare and a trap for you, a scourge on your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from this good land that the Lord your God has given you.
14 ‘And now I am about to go the way of all the earth, and you know in your hearts and souls, all of you, that not one thing has failed of all the good things that the Lord your God promised concerning you; all have come to pass for you not one of them has failed. 15But just as all the good things that the Lord your God promised concerning you have been fulfilled for you, so the Lord will bring upon you all the bad things, until he has destroyed you from this good land that the Lord your God ha given you. 16If you transgress the covenant of the Lord your God, which he enjoined on you, and go and serve other gods and bow down to them, then the anger of the Lord will be kindled against you, and you shall perish quickly from the good land that he has given to you.’

>>I still appreciate Sheila Walshes testimony of her time at CBN. It only confirmed what I thought about them. Won't spend a second listening to the person.<<

What did she say?

RawStory

They actually say: RAW STORY has thus far been unable to confirm the report by video or official transcript.

Guess they were paying attention this week about the credibility issues in the media.

I am so sick of these damn blow dried TV preachers sucking money from paranoids and gullible old ladies while making Christians look like idiots to the rest of the world.

Let it be know, this arrogant pretender does not, and never has, spoken for me.

ABC radio news has just quoted Pat, and, of course, made
no mention of the Iranian beardbrain's comments on Sharon.

Pat is turning into "God's Gift to Legacy Media".

the credibility issues in the media

and the Internet! I'm proud to say that I want confirmation of a quote, before I comment.

I was one of those people who went to bed at 230 AM the night before last, happy that a miracle had occurred in Sago. I woke up in the AM and found that twelve miners had died...and that the news media HAD TO KNOW that something was wrong, when only one ambulance left the mine site for the hospital. Duh! Rumors were flying at the site, but for three hours, the media continued to broadcast the same film of happy families.

Thanks for posting that link to Raw Story.

I think God must also hate Floridians . . why else has he been sending hurricanes down here all these years?

People in Miami must have done something to make Him angry?

May Pat Robertson would know the answer .

Well he was working to steer those around us:)

Your welcome. We shouldn't go off half-cocked with half information. We need to examine the scriptures and see what they have to say.

Absolutely.
For some reason God is now impotent when it comes to punishment, but active when rewarding people who win the lotto.

Exactly WHEN did God say he wan't going to punish anybody?

THis kind of religeon makes no sense.
God is in control now unless something bad happens, then suddenly God is no longer at the wheel.

I guess it is wishful thinking on these RINOs part. They desperately want to think that they will never be punished no matter what they do or say.

Do I think that Sharon was punished by God? Hmm, maybe, that is God's business. Do I think God is sovereign? In control? The king of heaven and earth? YES.
Do I think Sharon capitulated and kissed Islams ass by turning over GAZA? YES. By doing that do I think he worsened the predicament of the Jewish people, YES.

Will I pray for him? No, not much. If any. Why? Because I do not know him. I would sooner pray for Bill Clinton or Michael Moore.

I believe that it was done under King Solomon.
It may have not been part of his kingdom but I think it was under his economic control.

Can not verify my facts at this moment.
