The PAGAN press runs to Robertson to make true believers seem stupid. Robertson is an embarassment to the Kingdom of God!
I am not one who takes Abraham Lncoln’s word as Gospel. He also suspended habeas corpus......do you agree with that too?
We can see how far removed our country is from God, from the understanding and attitude that comes out of the White House, in regards to the recognition of God's judgment upon this nation.
It's nothing that is proven from Lincoln's statements, as the Bible takes care of that., showing what God does with the nations of the world, when it comes to judgment.
It just shows what the attitude was and what it is now, which is much much worse than it was then. And so, when the nation refuses to repent and when it removes itself from under God's protection and throws God out of the public square and everything to do with this nation at every chance it gets -- then you know that judgement is coming (and it has come for many years, thus far, as others have documented elsewhere.
As far as habeas corpus, I don't find that in the Bible, and it doesn't appear (at least not to me) to be related to God's judgment of the nations...
If I recall he once said that if you believe that there is extraterretrial life you should be stoned. The Vatican released a statement that belief in extraterrestrial life should not conflict with your religious beliefs. Does that mean that he feels the Holy Father should be stoned. What a pinacle of ignorance.

Pat Robertson is an opportunist. Neither camp wants to claim him.
Yes, and the people of Haiti had poor luck from the start. A bunch of African tribesmen worked, often to death, and ruled by very cynical people (the French) and given no education or taught the Gospel. They ended up ruled by a series of tinhorn dictators. But if you look at European history, the so-called noble dynasties who ruled our ancestors were little better than 3rd World warlords themselves. I am unhappy when some people say the unfortunate are to blame for their misery. That’s not Christian at all.
Sometimes God uses natural disasters to punish evil. But natural disasters ordinarily are general results of the Curse against the earth, not specifically linked to the sins of individuals who perish or suffer in them. Unless God clearly reveals it, we should never assume that a natural disaster or moral atrocity comes upon this earth as his specific judgment on specific people.
Psalms Chapter 2 1 Why do the nations rage, And the people plot a vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, 3 "Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us." 4 He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision. 5 Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, And distress them in His deep displeasure: 6 "Yet I have set My King On My holy hill of Zion." 7 "I will declare the decree: The Lord has said to Me, 'You are My Son, Today I have begotten You. 8 Ask of Me, and I will give You The nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possession. 9 You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a potter's vessel.' " 10 Now therefore, be wise, O kings; Be instructed, you judges of the earth. 11 Serve the Lord with fear, And rejoice with trembling. 12 Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, And you perish in the way, When His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.
How do you spell potato or is it potatoe?? :-)
Pat Robertson is in the same league with Jeremiah Wright and Fred Phelps.
Initially the Haitians rose up against slavery but remained a French colony--I think it was when the French decided to reimpose slavery that they went for independence.
The Old Testament and the “Wrath of God” became null and void at Calgary. The war is over. God won. No further Fire and Brimstone required. Disasters happen to all of mankind equally. Christians merely get through it in a saved condition.
Like Robertson, who is stuck on his 9/11 was God’s punishment for America’s evil and now this; is fundamentalist gray water. There is a vast number of good and righteous people living in Haiti. Robertson needs to be run off the air for Christianity’s sake.
Someone said the same thing about New Orleans when people died.
The Politico says this story is part of the folklore of Haiti...in essence, a story that the Haitians believe is true.
Can nations turn away from God? I think so.
Now, how did Pat Robertson apply such a story to the Haitian people? Did he say “well, that’s how it goes, we can’t help ‘em”? Or did he highlight the efforts to help them and the missionary work that is going on there?
See, it is really easy to take a portion of a show and emphasize it—but was that the point of his coverage, to tell the story of the Haitian people? Or did he want to make an effort to put the tragedies of the people in context and show how they need God?
Ditto. Robertson, Hinn, Van Empe, etc.
After the Invasion of Cuba was called off from the Cuban Missile Crisis, my combat assault ship (USS Renville APA 227) went into Port Au Prince for R&R.. While on shore among “other things” I bought some Haitian voodoo masks and brought them home. My wife to be thought they were devil worship and destroyed them. F—k. Women!!! Ps. we are still together and have 8 kids.
The Old Testament and the “Wrath of God” became null and void at Calgary.
There's more to come... we haven't even seen a fraction of the wrath of God yet, as He will dispense it fully, for all that He has saved up from the beginning of mankind -- at the time of the Tribulation.
And then, when the Messiah of Israel returns, He will be a warrior, killing millions upon millions of those who oppose Him at that time, when He sets up His kingdom on this earth, rulling and reigning over the nations in Jerusalem on the Throne of David for that 1,000 years, until the time of the Great White Throne Judgment in Revelation 20.
Individually, we are spared the wrath of God, if we are in the Lamb's book of Life. But, God's wrath is against the nations -- still to come at that Great and Terrible Day of the Lord.
The woman named Boukman, Jean-Francois, Biassou and Jeannot as the leaders of the uprising. It was some time later before Toussaint, Henry Christophe, Jean-Jacques Dessalines and Andre Rigaud took their places as the leading generals who brought The Haitian Revolution to its final triumph.
Word spread rapidly of this historic and prophetic religious service and the maroons and slaves readied themselves for a major assault on the whites. This uprising which would not ever be turned back, began on the evening of August 21st. The whole northern plain surrounding Cape Francois was in flames. Plantation owners were murdered, their women raped and killed, children slaughtered and their bodies mounted on poles to lead the slaves.” from webster.com; “An Historical Essay in Four Parts by Bob Corbett”
I thought I remembered this to be true from reading John Mitcham’s “Caribbean”. So the “pact” did happen and you may disagree with Robertson but that doesn't mean he is wrong.

She did the right thing. You should thank her for that. Inviting demons into your house is not the thing to do...
“The Old Testament and the “Wrath of God” became null and void at Calgary”
On the whole, I think Canucks are pretty irreligious. What happened at Calgary to void the Old Testament? ( -;
Voodoo and Santeria and all that crap are practiced down there.
But for Robertson to tie any one particular event into anything happening currently is such a stretch. Like he knows for certain that this quake in 2010 is directly due to what he believes the country was founded by a demonic pact. C’mon Pat.
I believe we can look around and know we’re in the end times, the last days, but to peg such specifics like this is just over-reaching. Pat would be better to peg the earthquake to the verse “and there will be earthquakes in diverse places”. Rather than the haiti voodoo pact story.
