And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. (Mat 19:9)

I think I'll go with what Jesus said.

Ever since I saw him in that commercial with that phony “Reverend” Sharpie Sharpton, I’ve lost any respect I had for him. I think as some people age, their brains mellow to the level of spoiled cantalopes.

Robertson did some good earlier in his life but should have retired many years ago. The longer he sticks around, the more embarrassment he brings to himself. His yearly prophecies, which he attributes to the Lord, have a lesser accuracy rate than a flip of the coin. Say good night, Pat.

A typical relativistic response: Alzheimer’s is a “KIND OF” death meant to cover an inconvenient situation.

His “700 Club” should be down to about “7” about now.

I don’t care one way or other what Jesus said, but I have learned about being human, about compassion and duty, and about marriage. If there is ANY time divorce is intolerable it is when your better half most needs you.

When I read what Mr. Robertson said, I was shocked. I’ve followed him over the years and have enjoyed The 700 Club. But this is beyond the pale. For the life of me I can’t figure out what in the world he was thinking.

You’re right on, Sopater, stick with what Jesus said.

I have to say that the 700 Club has helped me out enormously in the past, but I think even Terry knew Pat was off the range on this one. She tried to lead him out of it, but he didn’t take the hint.

That much I agree with.

Pat just never understood the Bible.

Given Gingrich’s history... I’d say Pat will likely endorse Newt.

Dontcha think?

It seems that ever since the 2004 election, every time Pat Robertson opens his mouth, he makes another stupid, idiotic, embarrassing type of statement, whether it is politics, religion, whatever. Just STH up Pat and go away. In fact I would say that he is suffering from early stages of dementia himself. I find it hard to believe that his program 700 Club would attract any viewers. And I am a born again Christian by the way. I would sooner get rid of my TV than to watch this false teacher.

I’d say Newt’s got a few things going for him there. So, yes, I’d say Newt’s at the top of PR’s list.

Not really shocking-—it is just New Age Christianity-—Moral Relativism.

I get what you are saying. However, what is a wife? She is defined by some function, some role, some human expression, some intention. When those things are absent and yet life is there but is entirely vacant there is no sin on the part of either spouse if divorce should occurs. A man is not a monk. He has some vocation to fulfill as a man, in his work, in his family and home, in his church. When the mate can no longer fulfill, in this case her role, he may have a duty to others and for some reasons to divorce. The wife in this case is not injured by divorce but must be kept tenderly cared for even if he is goes on to another marriage. This wife’s condition imitates death to the sacrament of marriage, as defined by its own duties and conditions, functions and responsibilities. There is no “there” there.

We tend to see things through the lens of the modern American existant culture. Think maybe about the cultures of old.
