Wow. agreed. I know that those who claim themselves teachers of God’s Word and will are judged more harshly. Just remember that no matter what happens here on earth, he will have to face God himself and give an account.

Thank you for speaking up and speaking out so that people know that this is not what we believe. Other men have been quite harmful at the end of their lives (some of Martin Luther’s writings come to mind) and I think your point is a hard one but well taken. As a writer myself, this is a post that I’ll consider for the rest of my own life and one that I take seriously. Then again, there were men like Caleb and Moses who were used till the end. I don’t know that it is always right that people HAVE to step out. I teach bell to bell in my classroom and it is my own prayer that I will live for Christ from breath to breath. Sadly, however, off thinking is off thinking — just because someone calls himself a Christian doesn’t mean he’s Christ-like. I also think that because Robertson spoke PUBLICLY that men (and women) of God must speakout PUBLICLY so that people can know that this is not what lines up with God’s word.

I can totally agree with both the content and heart of your post. I had been a 700 club member and seen blessings from being a part of this group, however, Pat R. has appeared to circle the wagons and made it more of a Pat R show than about glorifying Christ. He did at one time make great points and elevated issues of importance while lending wisdom with grace. This past decade has not been a pleasant one for the legacy he leaves behind. He has seemingly just lost touch as can someone of his age. It is unfortunate that those closest to him aren’t bold enough or in whatever way capable of communicating this effectively while letting him know the great impact God has had through his life. We have seen good and great men of God lose respect such as Oral Roberts towards the end of their life because they didn’t pass the torch for whatever reason. I do hope and pray he gets the message.

Amen…every time he says something ‘astounding’ like that, my 92 year old (unsaved) father calls me to tell me what ‘my man’ said
(he views P.Robertson like the pope, that he is speaking for ‘all of us’

i get a phone call each time something like this is said

i agree, who can reach a board member to take some action??
here’s a list from their website:
CBN’s Board of Directors

Charles F. Fay
Michael D. Little
William L. McConkey
David Pentecost
A.E. Robertson
M.G. Robertson
Gordon P. Robertson
Thomas M. Saltsgiver
Benny Yount

Very well stated, but I would say that you are far too kind. Robertson is a false prophet with known ties to murderous African dictators — and he very possibly committed fraud with his “ministry’s” money in busted gold mining efforts. He is anti-Semitic, hates homosexuals, and loves to blame the victims of natural disasters. The Bible warns about wolves in sheeps’ clothing such as him, and it unfortunate that Robertson has so many followers that blindly accept everything he says and send him their money without question. He also did recently make a public comment that marijuana should be legal — quite inflammatory to the Christian right, but probably the only comment he would ever make that I personally would agree with.

I worked at CBN for a couple of years. The first day of work, you are set up in a room to fill out paperwork and review a couple of videos. Additionally we are told that we are never to comment to reporters if Pat makes a gaffee, in that there are people who are trained to handle and limit damage from his all too frequent remarks.

I will say that while I was there, I thought CBN was a great place to work and they are doing a lot of good in their efforts to be a good neighbor (Luck 10:25-37) and to promote the word of God.

I agree 100% with you on this, just not sure this is a real good time to go public considering the muslim world is on fire. I also know thats more reason to be more sensitive in what we speak publicly since innocent people are dying. I can’t remember the verse, but remember reading somewhere in the Bible that if we have a problem with someone in the church not doing right that we are to confront them one on one? In this case maybe if a group of Pastor’s were to approach him. I just have serious concern at this time for his(Pat’s) safety and even the safety of the churches if this gets more attention and the media got a hold of this. It’s no secret that the muslim world watches our liberal media very closely, and they love more excuses. God Bless you and your church for being courageous.

Respect is earned. Not here, not now, not ever by him. This is the man who launched his ministry with the comment, “God doesn’t hear the prayers of Jews.”

Pastor Catt,
I agree with you that the BOD of The 700 Club should approach Mr. Robertson with a Matthew 18 heart. If he repents, then a brother is gained. If he does not, then he should be removed. I have never been a watcher of this show saved for a couple of times because I know that Robertson is one of the original name it/claim it preachers so I doubt that he will repent. I would also call on the National Religious Broadcasters network to remove his show from their broadcast line up. The 700 Club may be a major source of revenue for NRB, but a some point false teachers need to be removed.

Agreed.
