I don't think Jesus Christ approves of Robertson's comments and because He doesn't, I don't.
You are sounding mighty judgemental there.
How do you know He doesn't?
If you are Christian, then you are Jewish! You have been grafted in or "adopted" into the family of God. God said "Thou shalt not Shed innocent blood" or Thou shalt not murder". There is a difference in murder and killing. The unfortunate translation of the commandment has ruined many Christians interpretations about what God would have them do. This is the age old debate over abortion and capital punishment. Unborn babies cannot be more innocent than they are, but convicted murderers are the quintessential "non innocent". It is not inconsistent for me to want capital punishment for murderer's( Chavez) and not to kill babies. God killed millions in Sodom and Gomorrah and in the flood he probably killed billions of men, women, and children,(and fuzzy little animals for the Peta people here).
One of the hardest things for pseudo Christians to fathom is God killed millions and sanctioned the killing of millions by the Jews in the Bible. This has always been us against them and will be till the final battle. One should decide early on if you are an "us" or a "them". Self defense is a God given right just as you wouldn't hesitate to kill an intruder into your home, God doesn't condemn the killing of murderous despots. When Saddam get the hangman's noose, are we supposed to give him mercy because we are Christians? We put him there.
I think the problem here is most people here have been conditioned to have a knee jerk reaction to the name "Pat Robertson". You want him to be a kook, so the venom starts at the sound of his name. I seem to remember awhile back he was quoted as saying "God told him Bush would be re elected". I remember the hoots and hollering then. Well, he was re elected and there was no apology to Pat. I don't care for everything Pat says either, but he is at least as Christian as the pope. He doesn't pray to statues and dead men and women. Being Christian will always put you at odds with the worlds thinking. Jesus said when He leaves to sell your cloak and buy a sword. He knew His people would be persecuted and they were not to be slaughtered like cattle. Jesus came to be slaughtered, but that isn't our commision.
If Chavez threatens our country, then Bush would be remiss if he didn't take him out. I'm sick of people wanting a mushroom cloud over America before we have the moral authority to act. If a criminal said he was going to kill and rape your family, would you wait till its done or prepare for the worst? You tell the authorities what he said and blow his head off if he come on your property. If that's not legal in your state, move to Texas. Better yet, stay where you are.
