He Is Just Literal, In His Interpretation

Pat Robertson is always saying something unpopular, that rubs everybody the wrong way. His latest comments regarding the "Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon", have had considerable backlash. Mr. Robertson in my opinion, often only says what many other believers think. Either you believe in the written word , or you don't. Everything he says, he has scripture to support his statement. It's always simply a matter of ones interpretation. His latest comment is based solely on prophecy, laid out in the holy bible. Like it or not, Sharon has made a political decision contrary to the will of God. Whether or not that stroke was Gods punishment, we don't know. We don't know, that it wasn't either. We know it's not Gods will though.I often hear this statement, from people who call themselves believers. This is something a true believer should never say. A popular thing to say is "We can't put God in everything". That statement couldn't be farther from the truth. What should we do to demonstrate our faith? Why wouldn't we include him in all our decisions, being that we believe he created everything? We look to God for the good things, the miracles and blessings. We want to leave him out, when we want to do bad. We want to set him aside, while we deal with our temporal issues. God is not one we can hide, when it's convenient. When the truth is uncomfortable, or we think we have a shortcut. We don't speak out against people, suggesting we take a break or chill out. To each his own, as long as it doesn't bother me or mine. Why are we so vocal against those, that choose to protect or speak out? Since we have one, thank God we have the other. There would only be the left, we wouldn't know what's right. Pat Robertson just represemts the otherwise quiet side.
