Pat Robertson

The main problem with rejecting Paul or any part of the canon is the doubt it casts on the veracity of the remaining texts.

If any part of the bible is in substantive error, then those who follow it are to be pitied.

Er, just stuck my neck out, didn't I?

Paul's letters would be a good thread topic.

The real psycopath on this thread is named Pat.

Oh, and J_B, divine protection would be another good topic. Frank Apisa would just love it, don't you think?

The bible clearly states that all that follow Jesus will be no part of this world. So this means political too pat robinson is not staying politically neutral is he. So you know that hmm he is not from God.

I am interested to know what opinions people are mirroring Dok.

The prefabricated opinion-set known as protestant christianity.

However, I didn't come here with the with the intention of imposing those beliefs on anyone. Nor did I come here to build up my spiritual ego by making others feel smaller than me.

pachbel,

Glad to see that wasn't a quote from you.

I find it so ironic that there are those that don't believe in Christianity (or even God in some cases) that still find it necessary to tell others how to be a Christian or what Christians should believe. They want us to adhere strictly to something they do not believe or have no faith in. Boggles my mind.

I don't think it's so much telling you how to believe, but more along the lines of "distance yourselves from the flamboyant radicals". You have to admit MA, some of the televangelists out there are little more than stage actors out to get a quick buck. It's those types that, if embraced by christianity as a whole (or seen to be embraced) that give christians their bad rap.

I think that is true of most of us. Unfortunately, not too many seem to believe it.

Regrettably, few, if any, of these heartfelt sentiments were carried by the news media in America or by the news media in Israel. However, I ask your forgiveness and the forgiveness of the people of Israel for remarks I made at the time concerning the writing of the holy prophet Joel and his view of the inviolate nature of the land of Israel.

I personally feel very passionate about the safety of your country and the divine claim of the Jewish people to Eretz Israel and what has been called Judea and Samaria. My zeal, my love of Israel, and my concern for the future safety of your nation led me to make remarks which I can can now view in retrospect as inappropriate and insensitive in light of a national grief experienced because of your father's illness. I ask your forgiveness and the forgiveness of the people of Israel for saying what was clearly insensitive at the time.

Many nominal christians harbor the mistaken belief that the end time can not come unless natural Jews inhabit the ancestral Israel. This is one reason for Anglo American support of post WWII occupation of Palestine. There is really no great love for Jews involved; hence the insensitive comments.
