QUITE SO! QUITE SO!
He’s not about to have more rebellions in Heaven.
He’s insisting that we get the highest priorities firmly right down to the cellular level in our bone marrow.
Interesting.
Evidently the flaunting of satan worship in Haiti pushed things a bit more over the line from God’s perspective.
Assuming your assessments are accurate, the DR will get it’s just due in due course.
It would be interesting to know what percentage of the populace is how immersed in worshiping something/someone other than God Almighty.
Robertson is a moronic, pompous @ss and his own words have just proven that (again). He’s just one of many phony baloney “religious icons” of this world. It’s bad enough that his stupidity and lack of real Christian faith presumes to judge hundreds of thousands of innocents by his words of condemnation...but, since he’s supposed to be a man of God, he also leads others to condemn and judge by example, as well. It just compounds his sin to the nth.
Beware of false prophets.
If God wanted to punish the evil-doers of this world, we’d be having devastating earthquakes everywhere. It’s not quite time for that scenario. The AC hasn’t had his chance to ‘shine’ and impress the world yet.
This is another very important aspect of disaster, which also should not be overlooked... Jehovah also says he disciplines those He loves to bring them back to Him. I am sure, amidst the spoil and debris, Ruach HaKodesh is working overtime. There will have been miracles and healings, and more to come - Opportunity abounds for those Christians who are on-site.
I fail to find or observe the least bit of evidence
that you know the Mind of God
on such matters,
at all.
I recognize that you ASSUME that you do.
The Scriptural and historical evidence is on Robertson’s side.
Absolutely.
And Robertson’s OPERATION BLESSING people will be there right with the food, medicines AND THE GOSPEL to help as many as they possibly can.
I don’t know the particulars . . . from my generalized surface knowledge of such stuff . . .
IF the Christians were intent on fully following the will of God as outlined in Scripture, they would have negotiated with the other Christians a suitable recompense—done their best before God and man and independent other Christian mediators . . . and accepted the result; forgiven and blessed as God led.
The secular court system and laws kind of muddies things a bit in requiring such things to enter the justice system when child abuse has been involved. Where possible, I’d still have advocated taking it to Christian mediation.
I think most courts would have allowed that to take jurisdiction.
I think even most Christians take those Scriptures as . . .
‘quaint ideals.’
And kind of relegate them to top or bottom dusty shelves in the libraries of their minds.
THAT’S NOT GOD’S ATTITUDE AT ALL.
When the meek inherit the earth, what laws do they think will be the operant ones?
TOTALLY BIBLICAL LAWS. TOTALLY.
If they count on being around due to their humility, they’re likely already earnestly trying to live by such.
The arrogant are something else.
But they won’t likely be around then.
I do beleive God is going to bring groups of people forward and raise their ‘social footprint’ in even the eyes of the world—LIVING BY SCRIPTURAL STANDARDS AS NEAR TOTALLY AS POSSIBLE—confirmed by signs and wonders accordingly.
Thanks for your kind words.
BTTT.
THX THX MUCH.
I recognize that you ASSUME that you do.

Then you recognize wrong. I'm not the one presuming to know the mind of God. That would be Robertson. I also don't assume anything....least of all what God is thinking....but....it sure sounds like you're doing an awful lot of assuming here.
I'll say it again. Pat Robertson is a pompous @ss to have said what he said. If you actually think Robertson is a real Christian, this is where you and I shall forever disagree.
Until tomorrow then. Have a blessed Sunday.

Perhaps you could explain . . .
How on earth does a Christian
labeling Robertson as a pompous . . .
occur
WITHOUT ASSUMING
that God agrees with that label of Robertson????
Puzzling.
Or did God speak to you through a burning pointy finger?
Well...it (among other things) is real simple, Quix. I’ll try to draw you a verbal picture.
That is MY opinion of Robertson. You know....mine (hint: not God’s). You keep projecting here....and insinuating that I’m speaking for God when it sounds more like you (and Robertson) are the ones that claim that privilege.
Robertson gives Christians everywhere a bad name. Here’s a sample of just a few of the idiotic statements he’s made in the past: http://boortz.com/nuze/200601/01062006.html.
And here is info about his 700 Club: http://www.forgottenword.org/patrobertson.html
He’s a phony, a false prophet and more of a politician than a man of faith. I’m sad that you can’t, don’t or won’t recognize it....and instead insist on being so snarky. Robertson has made himself and his family extremely wealthy by using religion and professing (pretending) to speak for God.
And...while it’s really nice that you have so many fans on your threads that agree in lock-step with your every word (apparently).....
you really should “”gird your loins”” (hehe) and prepare yourself for the fact/reality that not everyone does or will agree with you 100% on every single subject, topic or issue. That’s why it’s called ......
discussion.
I gather my request for an explanation of how your earlier assertion could jive with facts
was too difficult a request to meet.
I think I’ll go on trusting what I perceive to be God’s perspective on Pat Robertson. Pat is, after all, God’s servant, not yours.
Maybe I could paint a better word picture . . .
1. “A” says that “C” is a popous dork.
2. “A” says or implies that “A” either hears God better; or knows God’s perspective or attitude on such things better; or some such better than “C.”
3. Otherwise, “A” would logically construe reality that “C” had as much of a handle on God’s perspective of such things as “A” does.
4. Since “A” castigates “C’s” relationship with God as such a farce/horrible/a sham etc. then logically, “A” must think A” has a MUCH BETTER relationship with God; is much more in agreement with God on such matters.
5. Which, without a shred of evidence to offer otherwise, . . . leaves the impression that “A” is at least as arrogant, foolish and missing the boat on God’s sensibilities on such matters as they accuse “C” of being.
Seems pretty elementary to me. Sorry the task was so difficult.
You (and Pat) keep second guessing and speaking for God. Imagine your surprise on Judgement Day when you find out you were (gasp!) wrong. What a shock that'll be, eh?
If Pat were really God's servant and ergo, speaks for God.... you'd 'think' that he'd manage to be correct with his little prophesies...at least some of the time. Kinda makes it look like God is feeding Pat bad info. I think I'll go on believing in the bible where it warns about false prophets. You know....false prophets that keep making prophesies to make more money....and keep being WRONG.
