Bible Question:
"If he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it," Robertson told viewers on his "The 700 Club" show Monday. "It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war." Are these words consistent with Paul's counsel to Christians at Hebrews 10:24? Does the fact that he has now blatantly lied to cover his misstatements betray his claim to be a Christian? (He states: "I didn't say 'assassination.' I said our special forces should 'take him out.' And 'take him out' can be a number of things, including kidnapping; there are a number of ways to take out a dictator from power besides killing him") |
Bible Answer: I just saw this, and well before I toss my answer in, consider this, Pat's in the limelight, whatever he says is going to be seen, now true he has greater responsibility to act in a way pleasing to God. Pat also has been known to say some things in the past that were, well, contraversial (sorry about any spelling mistakes) such as Feminism and and other governmental issues. Now because he "messed up" does that not make him a Christian. Of course not, we all make mistakes and stumble before others. I think the challenge is just, how are you going to serve God afterwards, if you identify the mistake, seek and serve God so that you may be made clean through his son's blood. I also think this is very common among Christians, as soon as the media see's something with religion and controversy in the title they jump at it. We are set apart by God and we are to act according to his good will. We also must remain united as a Church through times of struggle. this interdenominational warfare? It's ridiculous, what makes us think we are any better than anyone else. I don't know, Hebrews 10:24 was wise to cite, and I thank you for that, we must all be aware of our resposibilities as a Christians, not only to our God, but to others. God be with you |
