That’s an old wife’s tale. There is no factual basis.
Just like Pat Robertson blaming the Lockerbee crash on Scotland not hating the gays.
Gee, if God hates the gays so much why doesn’t he just wipe out San Francisco. Or Tallahassee.
The spiritual battle is heating up

Yes, he sleeps with me and gives me comfort, not hate. That’s your God.
God deplores all sexual sin as it is a deadly sin. The Pride in sexual sin is certainly repulsive to God.
I’m saying Satan doesnt exist today. God conquered him.
You just use him as an excuse for your evil thoughts, but it’s really just you.
Sorry, I've had you on ignore. Well, my dear, let's chat. From what I can recall in the distant past you mentioned that you are a Catholic, correct? I used to be part of that Cult and left it's influence on my life about 19 years ago. Tell me about it, sister. Tell me how your Church saves you?
Well, if it leads to a pig pen like Trumpism then I’ll take my chances with my way.
Love thy neighbor as yourself.
That's exactly the lie of today. They want to think of God not as a just judge. He's still the same God, yesterday, today and forever. And that's also the lie being displayed in churches all across the country. Few have the voice of Truth with a capital T.
Why do you always worry about Trump's sins and not your own?
He certainly does exist and he rules the earth until Jesus comes again.
It’s seems like you are the one who worries about others sins, since you are always dating judgment.
Why do you always excuse Trumps sins while obsessing about the gays?
I don’t worry about others sins. I just like pointing out your hypocrisy when it comes to Trump
Pat Robertson KNOWS now where he stands while in the presence of God. Every word that comes out of mouths of preachers cannot be construed as Truth. And you know that. But here's the funny thing, you and I have been back and forth with each other concerning, supposedly, the same God. How ironic. Listen to those two videos I posted and tell me where you truly stand. You see, it doesn't mean a hill of beans to me if you proclaim yourself as holy; only one it matters to is God. So, you can keep playing your silly game or you can repent and start seeking God first in everything you do. I strive for that now more than ever. I am having to denounce so many idols of life. It isn't easy. I am just now learning to pray more, read my scripture more and meditate one-on-one with my Lord and Savior like never before. And thank God He's patient with me. All these many years, I've been living a life of a surface Christian and I'm done. I want to go deep. I'm standing up the best I can day in and day out to live for Him. I fail miserably but I repent and start again. Why? Because I love Him! I am thankful for the life He's given me. All this chatter about politics and love and hate means nothing if you do not have Him as your only source of life. He is IT period.
Sorry,but I don’t take advice from fallen Catholics such as yourself. Especially one as troubled as you seem to be.
I think I’ll rely on my priest and my own God given intellect. Thank you very much.
I was born and raised Catholic but I’m not a regular attendee at Mass. God is everywhere and not just inside a building we call a church. And he is in our heart if we invite him in as our Lord and Savior.
But growing up in the Deep South, I have been exposed to ignorance on a level that my convert (formerly Primitive Baptist) Mom taught us to counter with patience and kindness. Apparently you were looking for something that you feel the Church could not provide you on your spiritual journey. If you’ve found it in another Christian pathway then good for you. But tearing each other down on that path to eternity does not go unnoticed by God.
I respect your choice and I do not tear down others unless they attack my church.
Putting me on ignore where you’re concerned is not an insult.
My Church doesn’t save me and neither does yours save you.
YOU SAVE YOUR SOUL. God gives us the tools and we make that choice. We fall down, we get up, and we keep moving.
We’re ALL imperfect beings with so many chances to ask God’s forgiveness.
1 John 4:17-19
"By this, love is perfected with us, that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. We love, because He first loved us." (1 John 4:19).
The Godly Man: When God Touches a Man's Life
Perfect love and fear are indeed incompatible. This fear, however, is not speaking of the reverence and awe one has before God. This is good. Peter and Paul both clearly illustrate the necessity and normalcy of honor and fear (see reverence).
We are forced to the conclusion that the fear of God is not only okay but a necessary part of our lives. Our question instead must focus on how does the love of God work along with the fear of God. We must hold back from stating that the love and fear of God are mutually exclusive; both are necessary. They work hand in hand. Having one does not mean not having the other. 1 John 4:17-19 often confuses people however.
I understand that you are Catholic but your boy BSC likes to besmirch other denominations by pretending that they are somehow inferior to Catholicism.
I don't believe Christ appreciates the mudslinging from either side when it's aimed at Christ based faith. If you disagree, we'll that's a shame.
It is not my sin to bear, imbecile.
Your reply is truly a reply from someone within a cult. I'm not a fallen Catholic. I walked away from it. While you rest upon your priest, I'll rest upon Jesus Christ. Intellect deceives. I cannot believe you even said that. You are a man with a reprobate mind. You cannot be reasoned with at this time. You are completely closed off. I pray God will open your eyes and heart to see beyond the limitations you have placed upon yourself.
Christ knows that “mud slinging” is part of the imperfections we humans would face once outside the Garden of Eden.
I do wish that as believers of a shared acceptance of Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior that we love one another as God loves us.
Well, I appreciate your reply. It sounds like you are still claiming to be Catholic, but not as the Catholic Church deems you to be, correct? The church demands it parishioners to go to Sunday Mass weekly. Do you miss Sunday Mass? And when you do attend Mass after a choice of absence, do you first go to confession before receiving Holy Communion? Holy Communion is the pinnacle of Mass. That's what it's all about. You cannot just to Mass without receiving Holy Communion. And it's still a mortal sin to miss Sunday Mass. That should scare the you-know-what-out of you.
So, I have a question concerning me. I was Catholic. I understood this concept of importance of receiving Holy Communion on Sundays, otherwise placing mortal sin upon my soul. Since I no longer consider myself a Catholic, am I in a constant state of mortal sin for missing week after week of Sunday Mass? Do you think I should ask forgiveness every week that goes by that I miss Mass just so I can be sure I will not go to hell? Or do you suppose God erased that condition that was placed upon me while I was a Catholic? (God: "Since he no longer considers himself a Catholic, I'm erasing the importance of this and giving him a pass.")
And to set the record straight, I no longer attend an institutional church. I do not try and tell folks to not attend a church, even though I think most are not preaching the Truth (with a capital T). But I will not slither away from exposing evil when I see it. And to me, the Catholic Church is playing with the devil. You see, religion is complicated. Christianity is simple. Jesus died on the Cross. Jesus left an example to follow. We accept what He did and live our lives accordingly, and that means the carrying of our own crosses. Jesus did not tell us to be complacent and loving others at all times in such a way as accepting their evil as okay. Otherwise, He would not have had all those "Woe" and "Hypocrite" sayings. But those sayings were spoken out of love for them even though they chose to NOT accept His teaching. He wasn't here on earth to be friends with everyone, but to speak the truth and expose evil when confronted. Truth can be very hard to accept. If you are living in the world and are comfortable with where you are, then chances are you are not living the life Jesus Christ wants you to live. Why? Because we are to not be of the world while in the world. Darkness and light cannot exist at the same time. Light exposes darkness and darkness hates the light. So, if you are loved at all times and love everyone at all times excusing their lifestyles of evil, you are living in the darkness of the world.
I'm SICK of the false religions that are watering down the Truth. Evil is deceptively cunning.
Fear of damnation comes from living in a fallen world.
Fear of God is about revering God.
I'm not afraid of God. If anything I'm afraid of myself, my human flesh and the desires and imperfections that come with that. God is just and perfect...I am not.
Yes, fear of God's judgment if I fall short of his glory and reject Christ is a very reasonable fear. However I am saved and henceforth can never be "unsaved." So my fear of God refers to my reverence of God.
When some on here attempt to spin this as something it isn't, that is blasphemy. They should stop being blasphemous imho.

It is in fact part of our punishment for getting tossed out of the garden.
I agree. That's why I don't try to pretend that my Christ based denomination is somehow superior to another.
It seems there are people angry about a church.
Develop a personal relationship with the Lord and let his grace fill your soul. It will give you peace.

Does he understand that trolling Christians over their faith is sinning? It sounds like he's saying that trolling is more important to him than staying true to God's word.
I *really* hope he's smarter than that.
Thank you. This thread was rather thought provoking. A little introspection never hurts.
This has given me heartburn as well. I worry about the guy when he says stuff like this or when he equates Satan to Santa Clause...trying to get children to behave.
I pray that he is. I can't believe anyone would tempt God or make light of his gospel.
Well,you sure seem to worry a lot about others sins, except when it it comes to Trump
I worry about our country becoming a Godless bunch of infidels.
