Pat Robertson/The 700 Club

[Deepblue]

Hey, does anyone here watch the 700 Club? I really enjoy the show's testimonies, but sometimes Pat Robertson makes me a little uncomfortable. I believe he's a Christian, but he says things that make me go

For example someone sent him an email asking why Jesus was called "The Lamb of God". The writer of the email expressed that he felt that a lamb was a weak animal. Then Pat Robertson answered "Well, Jesus was weak, because when he could have said something when he was being tortured, he chose not too." Now maybe Pat was trying to say something else, but instead butchered it. But he has also spoken prophecies that didn't come true and said "Sometimes I get it right, sometimes I don't". And sometimes I feel like the co-hosts want to say "Well Pat, perhaps instead such and such means this", but they seem hesitant, almost terrified to do so.

Also, does anyone know anything about the prayers the 700 Club does and the "Word of Knowledge?"

Thanks.

Maybe Pat Robertson is a little senile. Jesus was not weak, he was full of courage, it took guts not to defend himself. I lost respect for P R when he said God told him get rid of his ministers license, run for President and he would win. I believe I am quoting it correctly. At any rate, I knew that was not God.....God does not call a person to preach and then run for President. His flesh was speaking, not God - that goes against the revealed will of God, as he says the gifts and callings of God are without repentance. His fleshy ambition "called" him to run for office as leader of the nation.

I knew he ran for President and lost to George H. Bush back in the late 80s, but I didn't know he did it on those terms.

Yes, if he had only kept his minister's license and not denied his calling, then I would not have lost respect for him. You know - the god of politics was much more important. Well, God is his judge, not me. I respect anyone if they will admit they were wrong, don't know that he did.

i somewhat disagree here, from how I view it... Jesus was weak when He was in the flesh, He went thru all the pain, hurt and sorrow in life just like us.

I watch it sometimes, mostly because I like Kristy and Terry. They are always upbeat and sensible. I'm not a big fan of Pat Robertson though; he just doesn't ring true to me. I also enjoy the testimonies; except when the only way the people can prosper is by giving money to the 700 Club. God doesn't want our money; he wants our hearts and our devotion.

Right

I enjoy the show for the news broadcasts, And I believe in their Operation Blessing which helps people in storm area's and countries without water, they dig wells for them. But that's about the only reason I watch it.

Pat has never been asked any kind of question that he didn't have an answer to. He thinks he knows everything. And yes, sometimes he blunders the answer.

Concerning gift of knowledge:

(1Cor 12:8 [KJV])

For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

Pentecostal/Charismatics believe these gifts are still in operation today.

I have to say that everything except a failed presidential election has turned to gold for Pat Roberson. It's hard to beat him up too much.

Define weak! In 2cor 12:10 Paul said "when I am weak I am strong". What Paul means here is that when he is weak in his person, being, his capability, pride, he is strong in his faith, reliance upon God and Gods strength. If Christ was weak he was weak in the flesh, pride, sin, but mighty in Spirit, his faith, reliance upon the Father.

As far as Pat, well he is a man just like you and me, I know Ihave not been used by God like he has, maybe one day.

hope this helps.
