An Open Letter to Pat Robertson of the 700 Club

@ 08:10 AM (51 months, 7 days ago)
Mr. Robertson:
 
If you know your scripture well, (as I trust you do) then you know that shortly before Jesus Christ ascended into heaven, he issued a set of teachings or instructions to his apostles.  In part, he told them "Ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Sammaria, and unto the uttermost parts of the earth."  (Acts 1:8)
 
His words were a call-to-action, if you will, that the apostles would go forth and serve as witnesses for Christ.
 
Mr. Robertson, if you truly believe that you have been called to ministry, then you essentially have the same obligation that the apostles did then: to be a witness for Christ.
 
It's hard to imagine you as an effective witness for Christ, when you use the 700 Club to call for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, saying:

"We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability.  We don't need another $200 billion war to get rid of one, you know, strong-arm dictator. It's a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with."

What happened to the commandment "thou shalt not kill?"

  1. "What would Jesus do?' Probably put a bullet in his eye.

  2. Coming from our Jihadist enemy(Assad at global-war.bloghi.com), that's hysterically funny.
