Christian Broadcasting Network founder Pat Robertson believes the deadly coronavirus outbreak is punishment for abortion and same sex marriage.
His comments came during a Monday discussion on “The 700 Club.”
Co-host Terry Meeuwsen, reading from a letter, asked Robertson: “This is John, Pat, who says, ‘Pat, last week you were talking about COVID-19. You quoted Chronicles 7:14. How can God heal our land and forgive the sins when abortion and same-sex marriage are laws and many people are anti-Israel. Doesn’t this prevent his healing and forgiveness?’”
Robertson replied: “You know, I think you put your finger on something very important. You know the Bible says — they turn from their wicked ways. They didn’t get forgiven. They will turn from their wicked ways. And part of what we’ve done is turn. We are not turning when we have done terrible things.

Pat, you are just stupid....
He forgot to mention man’s environmental depredations.
/s
Pat went off the rails more than a decade ago. Now everything he says is used by the left to to make conservatives (and Christians) look silly.
Wrong Pat, it’s man attempting to play God so that the real God can be cast aside to make way for the Devil himself.
Bears repeating
I imagine if God was pissed off at Sodom and Gomorrah then he might well be pissed off at the world today. It is not out of the realm of possibility. Heck, once God was so pissed off that he sent a flood to destroy the whole world.
Many states are fighting back and succeeding on some levels against abortion.
we elected a God fearing and God loving president.
There are many good American people and those who try to follow the faith.
Man everyone gets screwed in life, sometimes pretty dam bad and sometimes a lot
Not everything is a punishment from God.
I have personally tested God and he is INCREDIBLY patient and in the end what happened to me (won’t go into it) I did to myself.
Things are much better now :)
We can’t understand God’s plan 100 percent so I don’t even try.
But not every bad thing is His ire at work
I live in the Philippines and Same Sex Marriage, Abortion are illegal here. So why do we have the Covid-19 virus here?
Always forget he’s still alive until someone brings him op.
Oh, that’s easy. He sends you typhoons, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. / sarc. Be well.
Pat is an idiot.
Pandemics, plagues have been with us for as long as their have been biological entities. That’s just the way it is. He is correct sort of. We live in a fallen world of sin and disease. But quid pro quo? If it is, it’s justly deserved and unavoidable. A product of the end times. Otherwise Pat. Shut the F up.
Thanks, Prat
Hey Pat, Jesus still thinks you’re a jerk.
Exactly.
Only prophets are allowed to claim they know that, and Pat’s not one.
Pandemic because Winnie the Flu wants to be the 4th Reich.
I worked on Pat’s campaign for President back in 1988, or should I say volunteered. I didn’t get paid. What was I thinking?
God is sovereign and even catastrophes are not outside His control. He can use these for good, causing policy changes or leading some to repentance and salvation. Sometimes God has to cut us at the knees to bring us to our knees so we’ll earnestly seek Him instead of believing all will be well as we lean on a job, finances or family instead of relying on Him.
Pat’s being consistent. He also said AIDS was a judgement against America (particularly homosexuals). He’s entitled to his opinion although I don’t always agree.
I wouldn’t rule it out. God has laid a hedge of protection on America for centuries. We as a nation have abandoned God and have murdered more innocent babies than all the people killed in WWII.
Don’t get so cocky as to think that this is not the beginning of Gods wrath.
As Thomas Jefferson said, “I tremble for this country when I reflect that God is just.”
Indeed. I think national repentance is in order. We have transgressed against a Just God.
