He’s at it again

Another year, another set of predictions from our local soothsayer, Pat Robertson. This time, God has told him who is going to win the election in November but he’s not sharing that little bit of info.

“He told me some things about the election, but I’m not going to say, because some old man on “60 Minutes” would make fun of me, so I’m not going to tell you who the winner’s going to be,” Robertson said, in apparent reference to CBS humorist Andy Rooney, who turns 89 on Jan. 14.

Yeah, well, Andy Rooney wouldn’t be alone 😉 Robertson offers up some interesting excuses about last year’s prediction about terrorist attacks:

“All I can think is that somehow the people of God prayed and God in his mercy spared us,” Robertson said on “The 700 Club,” a television show he hosts on the Christian Broadcasting Network, based in Virginia Beach.

“So did I miss it? Possibly,” he said of his unrealized prediction. “Or, on the other hand, did God avert it? Possibly. But whatever, it didn’t happen, so I think we can all rejoice.”

Um, yeah. Right.

Best comment so far:

Hmmm, I wonder what the bible says about prophesies that don’t
come true.

Deuteronomy 18:21-22
21 You may say to yourselves, “How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the LORD ?” 22 If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him.

I would include what Deuteronomy 18:20 says, but it would likely get me censored. Look it up for yourself.

I did, poco. Wonder what Robertson thinks about it?
