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: May I gently remind the questioner and the respondents that this discussion of Pat Robertson goes well beyond the purposes and intents of this Forum. Please, please confine your posts to Bible study questions and answers. Who in his right mind would think of purchasing or using a study Bible if its content were no more spiritually nourishing or enlightening than whether so-and-so were a Christian. How far we err on this Forum from its aims laid down by its sponsor, the Lockman Foundation. The Forum is rapidly becoming a vast wasteland and as such a waste of time and effort. I speak as one who has been active on this Forum since its pioneer days. Heed my words or forget them, as you wish. --Hank |
