Pat Robertson: Christian Wacko or David Koresh with More Money?
Pat Robertson is a self-proclaimed Christian and man of God, but I have to wonder sometimes which God and which version of the Bible he has.
Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson suggested on-air that American operatives assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to stop his country from becoming “a launching pad for communist infiltration and Muslim extremism.”
“We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability,” Robertson said Monday on the Christian Broadcast Network’s “The 700 Club.”
“We don’t need another $200 billion war to get rid of one, you know, strong-arm dictator,” he continued. “It’s a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with.” [”Televangelist Calls for Chavez’ Death” (Yahoo!News)]
O.K. I know a lot of people believe that the New Testement cancels out the Old Testement, so I’ll provide a little New Testement to back my opinion up. (Emphasis provide by me.)
From Matthew 19:
17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, 19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Sooooo…the Ten Commandments are still in effect. They are the basic laws of Christianity. The very first one Jesus mentions is murder. Must be important.
- Murder
- The unlawful killing of one human by another, especially with premeditated malice.
- Assassinate
- To murder (a prominent person) by surprise attack, as for political reasons.
A Christian preacher/minister is supposed to set a good example and be a role model. How can Christians continue to follow a man who asks for the murder of another person and continues to make other contraversial and sometimes treasonistic remarks?
n October 2003, he suggested that the State Department be blown up with a nuclear device. He has also said that feminism encourages women to “kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.”
This man is just a few marbles short of starting his own cult and his own version of the jihad. Does this not scare anyone else? Imagine if David Koresh had had Robertson’s money and a televised show. I’m starting to wonder if The 700 Show has subliminal messages. Remember some people are voting based on what this man says.
