Personally, I think he needs to check himself into a clinic. Seriously he does. His evil reign of extreme conservatism will come to an end. I would start boycotting from watching the 700 club if i were you. Post Reply

Reba1987 View Profile History	A sad day in the pathetic life of Pat Robertson and the 700 Club Posted : 16 Jan, 2010 12:03 PM I used to want to work for the 700 club... that was back when I was a closed minded conservative. I'm sad that Pat would say that. If that is so, the U.S. should have been taken out a long time ago, but then again, who am I to play God? I wonder if he said the same thing about the earthquake in China 2 years ago. It would be a contradiction to say that God sent an earthquake to one country because of their sin and to not believe it about another. China has some of the most devout Christians that I know. And what about the Tsunamis in Indonesia, and more recently, the one in Samoa? That's sad. Post Reply

I trust in His power. Good and bad things happen and there is always a reason behind it - although it is definitely way beyond our understanding. Post Reply

I've changed. Technically we must keep in mind that there a ton of young people are leaving the church because of extreme conservatism, especially in the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Have you noticed that Jesus Christ was an open minded individual in contrast to the ruthless Jewish demeanor of the law. Personally he had a ton of liberal views. I can point out scripture.

stormcountry33 View Profile History	A sad day in the pathetic life of Pat Robertson and the 700 Club Posted : 16 Jan, 2010 06:19 PM Please do...I know that with the coming of Christ (the New Testament) that a lot of the "old" ways were no longer followed, but as far gay marriage, sex before marriage, tolerance of immorality...these are issues that we need to be conservative on. I agree that as Christians we need to be open to reaching out to those who don't live a Christian life, but that doesn't me we have to accept them into our lives as a lifestyle. In my opinion the church has become too liberal in our country and that is one of the main reasons that our country is now in the shape that it is. People want free handouts because they believe that they deserve it. Well in the New Testament, even the disciples recognized that if they didn't work they didn't eat. Liberalism has lead to too many people not taking acceptance of their own responsibility. Post Reply
atlfan27 View Profile History	A sad day in the pathetic life of Pat Robertson and the 700 Club Posted : 16 Jan, 2010 07:28 PM Well for starters, go back to my earlier post and look for John 8. Christ and prostitute? In the old testament they were suppose to stone people to death if they caught in acts of adultery but Christ came along and said yet who is without sin, cast the first stone. So he is def going against what the law of Moses said for numerous reasons. Another example about the Seventh Day Sabbath. "'Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it must be put to death; whoever does any work on that day must be cut off from his people. Exodus 31:14 Then Jesus asked them, "Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?" But they remained silent. Mark 3:4 The point i'm trying to bring out to you that the way the Jewish leaders were worshiping was so perverse that Christ came along to bring to their attention that they weren't doing the way God intended in the first place. Christ also penetrated through their hearts and saw who they really are. Apparently legalism, conservatism does not fit in my category. I don't condone Homosexuality, pre-marital sex, etc but I do love those kind of people regardless. I used to be Roman Catholic before the Seventh Day Adventist Church. One of the doctrines that i'm against is confession. Why on earth do we need to go to another sinful flesh and bones (who maybe a homosexual or a child molester) where.... For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are--yet was without sin. Hebrews 4:15 Apparently Christ is our one and only high priest who has lived a sin free life who can be our advocate. So sorry to say to all the close minded radicals out there. You may want to read the life of Christ and how he handled the sinners. ;-) Post Reply
atlfan27 View Profile History	A sad day in the pathetic life of Pat Robertson and the 700 Club Posted : 16 Jan, 2010 08:23 PM Wait there is more!!! Christ hanged out with a prostitute called Mary Magdalene They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, "All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!" John 8:7 I have a lot of gay friends at my university so what's wrong with hanging out with gays? isn't it obvious that Christ choose sinners instead of self-righteous to be his disciples? isn't it obvious that he ate with sinners? While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew's house, many tax collectors and "sinners" came and ate with him and his disciples. Matthew 9:10 WAIT!!!!! THE BIGOTS ARE ATTACKING HIM. When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and 'sinners'?" JESUS CHRIST SHOOTS AND HE SCORES!!! On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners." Matthew 9:11-13 Post Reply
stormcountry33 View Profile History	A sad day in the pathetic life of Pat Robertson and the 700 Club Posted : 17 Jan, 2010 04:24 PM You are 100% correct in the scriptures you use and the ideas behind your scriptures. God also, in the Old Testament made the point that is it not more important to do the will of God than to follow the law?? So I agree with your statments on this. However, don't forget that Jesus, in dealing with the prostitutes, theives, and others..told them to "go away from me and sin no more." I paraphrased this last line, the idea was that we reach out to them but DO NOT allow them to continue in their act of sin. If they continue in their act of sins we are not supposed to associate ourselves with them for they could bring us into their lifestyle. So yes, we need to reach out to those kinds of people that you have mentioned as Jesus did. But as Christians we are supposed to encourage them to turn away from their sins and live a life pleasing to God. Therefore we shouldn't abandoned the Christian conservative lifestyle, but try to reach out to them and instill in them the desire to live as Christ did. Post Reply
