Pat Robertson fancies himself a prophet

An Open Letter to Pat Robertson

Ku Ku Kachoo Mr. Robertson,

Please, just stop. I believe that in your heart you have genuine and sincere love for Jesus Christ. But I also believe that your perseption of how He loves you is slightly ascew.

You see, Jesus was very clear that when we address others about the sin and junk in they're lives, that we first examine ourselves very closely. He goes on to tell us that we must also do this out of love.

If you still have a question as to what exactly Love is, Paul described it perfectly in 1 Corinthians 13:

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

Please keep these attributes in mind before speaking truth to peoples lives. Remember, our Lord wants us to reach others with a message. If we throw out messages that feel like yours do, then we are missing the mark drastically.

Let's get serious Pat, did you honestly believe that by prophesing about God sending storms and tsunamis to our country, you would be helping the lost change their ways? You had to realize that a message like yours will be recieved with defenses raised and feelings hurt. If not, then that would just be painting yourself as an ignorant bigeted stereotypical fundamentalist.

Unfortunately, sending out those messages as though you are the mouthpiece of God makes it very difficult for me to succesfully reach out to others, too. You see, you and I get painted with the same brush and I don't look to good in yellow. So please, for God's sake, just stop.

Sincerely,

Chase
