These same ‘Christians’ will say the same thing to a
fellow Christian whose father or son dies— if they think
he wasn’t right with the Lord.
They hurt people and Christian work horribly with these
kind of statements.
No one knows really why God allows certain things to happen, nor does anyone know why Pat was born in America,
while others his age were born in Haiti to those parents
who he says made a pack with the devil.
This attitude of superiority is really disgusting to me,
they should practice some humbleness and meakness, but I
doubt they would apply that themselves, only others—such
is their work.
I have mixed feelings about remarks like this, and in all honesty, don’t know what to conclude.
Would there be a tangible difference between two countries if one acknowledged and tried very hard to honour God and His word, and the other actually did make a “pact” with the devil...whatever that is?
I don’t like to hear Pat Robertson (or anyone else) make such pronouncements because I know how it will be received. Maybe everyone should just keep these kinds of thoughts to themselves. None of us are in a position to be telling the world that such devastation is because of disobedience toward God. God can take care of that.
Perhaps we should just be there to help, and, if possible, set the nation on a new and prosperous course. Perhaps this is what may come of this horror,and makes more sense than continuing to throw money at them.
I agree completely.
