"I will tell you something. Pat is a representative of Jesus Christ."
You make a lot of good points. However, it is my opinion that Christians are not required to refrain from fighting evil. War can be just. Is political assassination as an instrument of war, then, always unjust?
In WWII we read a Japanese message that told us where Isoroku Yamamoto was going to be, and sent planes specifically to shoot him down and kill him. Is this objectionable?
The ruling class, of course, would love to see political assassination placed out of bounds, but is that in the best interests of humanity?
Absolutely! I agree that some wars are just--and somethings done in war are nessesary.
My point is that Pat Robertson is a Christian pastor and leader. His job, given to him by the Lord, is to bring people to Christ. His job is the salvation of souls. Calling for the killing/murder of a person is not his job! It hurts his job. Why not instead, as a Christian leader call for prayers against Chavez; why not ask his listeners to pray that God would remove him? God keeps the man's heart beating, and nothing is too difficult for him to do.
Pat needs to stick to the job God gave him, and leave the defense of this country to those God gave that job to!
