Robertson suggests God smote Sharon

Uh who is Pat Robertson to say what punishment Ariel Sharon does deserves???

 

faithgirl46...

uh like who is Jesus To chase the money changers in the temple away and to call people snakes

uh like who is David to kill Goliath and then chop his head off and hold it in front of the Palestinians as an example

uh like who is Elisha to show judgment on the rebellious children

uh like who is Elijah to prophesy that the dogs would lick Jezebel's blood.

in other words (on top of my sarcasm): poor statement

 

Pat never said that Sharon deserved it but that because of his actions God may have judged him. Be careful not to twist facts to suit your own agenda and opinions.

 

The land promises are in the OT for the record. See Mosaic and Abrahamic Covenants for further documentation.

 

Robertson should know better.

 

Robertson should know better. </font>[/QUOTE]He does know...that's why he made a Biblically true statement.

It's a shame that you don't know. God will bless those that bless Israel and Curse those who curse Israel.

Why is it so hard for people to realize that simplistic, very evident truth?!

I guarantee that if God send the Angel of the Lord to kill another 185,000...people still wouldn't believe it and would write it off as something foolish.

Study Israel's short but deeply intriguing modern history since she's become a nation. Study the wars (from an economic and military view point) and see God's divine hand of Providence upon the Apple of His Eye.

It will amaze you.

P.S. you probably won't learn that at the communist/pro palestinian/anti american/anti christian/anti jew universities. "sadly"

Are you Jewish?

EXCERPT

Most, but not all, heed call to prayer


Matthew Wagner, THE JERUSALEM POST Jan. 6, 2006

Rabbis were split Thursday on whether to pray for the speedy recovery of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.

Both chief rabbis called on the public to pray for Sharon. Rabbi Shlomo Amar led a special prayer for the prime minister during a rabbinic conference near Zichron Ya'acov.

However, Rabbi Shmuel Eliahu, Chief Rabbi of Safed and son of former Sephardi chief rabbi Mordechai Eliahu, said it was forbidden to pray for something one did not really believe in.

"If you fear that Sharon will continue to cause pain to Jewish families if he recovers, don't pray for him," said Eliahu in response to a question from a settler who was evacuated from Gaza. The question and answer appeared on Moriya, a religious Zionist Internet site.

The settler asked Eliahu if he had to pray for Sharon, as requested by the Chief Rabbinate, even if the prayers would be ingenuous.

"Do I have to lie? Should I pray, God forbid, that he dies?" asked the settler.

Eliahu answered that one should not pray for Sharon's demise, but at the same time it was forbidden to be ingenuous in prayer.
"If you really want Sharon to continue to lead this country, pray for him. But if you fear that if Sharon recovers he will continue to hurt, don't pray for him. Or pray that he will recover but will remain on his ranch."

In more right-wing national religious schools, such as Beit Shulamit, a girls' high school in Jerusalem headed by Rabbi Avigdor Halevi Nebenzahl, rabbi of Jerusalem's Old City, students were advised not to pray for Sharon's recovery.

"They did not tell us to pray that Sharon should die," said a Beit Shulamit student. "But they also said that after all Sharon has done against Jews in Gaza and Samaria it was not appropriate to pray for his recovery."
