Pat Robertson is long past. I’m no longer satisfied he’s lifeless, however pronouncing I’m unhappy can be a lie.
Since mendacity violates one of the most Ten Commandments, you’d suppose somebody like Mr. Robertson would keep away from mendacity in any respect prices. However lie he did.
When he used to be 73 years previous, he claimed to have leg pressed 2,000 kilos. He claimed there have been a large number of witnesses however refused to call even one. He claimed he labored with people who taught him how one can get into form however declined to call them additionally. He introduced a photograph of him sitting at a leg press device, however that proves not anything.
He did all of that during a feeble try to persuade folks that his God is omnipotent, and that in the event you pray laborious sufficient, the biblical verse of Matthew 19:26 can turn out to be actually true. He failed. Had he invited the media to file the development, invited Guinness to make sure it, and did it on are living TV, he would have had an excessively compelling case. However he didn’t.
So simply as we’re intended to consider the Bible when it says Noah lived to the age of 950, and fathered kids at age 600, and that Jesus walked on water, we’re now requested to take Mr. Robertson at his phrase that his God used him as a car to accomplish a miracle. As a substitute of continuously making fools out of themselves, Christians must go away their trust to religion by myself, simply as their God meant.
