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.”

Sometimes it's not what you say, but when you say it.

Long ago folks should have noted Pat Robertson on his show, closing his eyes and telling the audience "I sense God healing a cancer of the bowel in someone listening today, God is relieving someone's arthritis at this very moment ....etc." while asking the audience for money. You can't get any lower than telling folks they are being healed of incurable diseases so they will send you money. Either Robertson believes it and is a kook or he just wants the bucks. Robertson blends some intelligent conservative analysis with the lowest elements of televangelism.

And not the fact that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is in his seventies and overweight?

God is already punishing Pat for his sins by making him more stupid.

The Jewish religion doesn't seem to foster the vindictiveness that Christianity does.

That's how it seems anyway.

Well since none of us are God it would be very hard to refute that God isn't punishing Sharon for something. However most of us have a more reasonable and, dare I say, SANE approach to world matters. My faith doesn't teach anything about God smiting you with a stroke if try to make peace with people who try to kill you everyday. In fact.. I seem to recall my Lord saying something about turning the other cheek....

God punished New Yorkers for voting for Hillary by preventing the Yankees from winning the World Series since 2000!
Curse of Hillary! :)

I wonder what God will punish Pat for when he dies?

I hope this is not true, but really, I don't know how Pat could get his foot any deeper down his throat than it already is. Apparently he keeps trying.

"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."


Who cares what the Bible says about this? Sharon had a stroke because that's what sometimes happens to people who GET OLD.

I next expect Pat to say something like, "The Jews died in the Holocaust, because God punished them for not emigrating to Palestine."

Sigh. Pat Robertson inserts foot in mouth up to knee again - ping!

Pat, Pat, Pat....there are times when it is a greater act of Christian charity to show be silent or tactful then to flap gums. Pat, you have all the sense, tact, and consideration of someone who shows up at the funeral of a friend's parent, and loudly announces that "they're burning in hell if they didn't repent." Pat, you have often talked long about your love for Israel. The greatest love you can show for that nation and its people is to say, "you are in our prayers" and nothing more.
