The B-Cast: Why Did Pat Robertson Say Haiti Is Cursed?

Uhhhh….Lemme guess. Because it’s true?

Well daaa …

Guess ya forgot to mention he also said that They would be praying for the people of haiti and sending help and supplies ..

I’m no Pat Robertson fan but damn man .. he only told the truth !

Man up !

Time for ol Pat to take a powder

Two things: How do you explain the difference between the Dominican Republic and Haiti on the same island? and, is it possible that it is a great thing that a man is revealing to them why the trouble exists…is it wrong for a doctor to tell a person having trouble breathing and gradually killing themselves that their smoking is killing them? Should the doctor, being sensitive to the patients struggle, tell them why it exists or simply comfort them in their self-induced pain? It amazes me how people shy away from problems until it is too late. I am sure that the people of Haiti would like to know why things are so different there than in the Dominican…if they are even aware. Any resonable person must at least admit there may be some curse based on the history and, if that is so, the “love for others” would show by shedding light on the why not hiding it!

I know it seems bizzare, but the fact is Aristide practiced voodoo and did indeed make a formal and ceremonial pact with the Devil if the Devil would give him power over Haiti and in return, Satan could have dominion over Haiti for 200 years. As crazy as it sound, you can look it up yourself online. You must admit Haiti has been plagued beyond imagination ever since.

I heard Pat Robertson say this years ago. And he hardly said it now with a callous attitude. He was obviously quite concerned with the island just as he was before. Spiritual acts have consequences. Whether this is playing out as Pat believes, I don’t know. But one cannot deny what has transpired in that poor island. The fact is that Satan is the prince of the earth for now. (That is quite Biblically correct.) Satan wants to reduce everyone to the status of Haiti. It is only by God’s grace that any good is on this planet.

During the similar disasters of the coming tribulation a strong message of repentance will be preached during these disasters. God hates demon worship. It is not uncompassionate to address the greatest eternal needs of men’s souls while they are teetering on the edge of eternity.

Revelation 9:20-21 The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, so as not to worship demons, and the idols of gold and of silver and of brass and of stone and of wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk; and they did not repent of their murders nor of their sorceries nor of their immorality nor of their thefts.

I would respectfully submit that you stick to the news and stay away from theology.

Great responces guys.
I might add that Pat is standing on biblical grounds. The Jews are God’s choosen people. Look at the Old Testiment and see how God dealt with them when they did’nt follow Him ie. 40 years in the wilderness, being enslaved to heathen nations, Sodom and Gomorrah to name a few. They were told what was going to happen as a result of their disobedience. Let me add that we as Christians are no better. We have our issues of disobedience. We would have handled things the same way.
Those were issues of disobedience. Haiti is in direct defiance of God. They made a pact with the Devil. Pat is saying that the people need to repent and ask for God’s forgiveness. Things will not change over night. Pat encourages us to pray for the people.

You have let All the congress men out of jail for doing the same thing that Ben Nelson did.

WHAT PAT SAID IS A FACT!!! HE JUST STATED THE TRUTH!!! BEEN TO HAITI MANY TIMES AND ALL OVER THE ISLAND… THE HAITIANS THEMSELVES TELL THIS VERY STORY OVER AND OVER AND OVER. BREITBART STAND FOR TRUTH EVEN WHEN IT IS NON-POLITICALLY CORRECT!!!!!!!

Why slam Sarah Palin in this? Even you had to read up on this, news people seem so threatened by her.

I would respectfully submit that you stick to the news and stay away from theology.

Thank you, TLindsay for stating the obvious. His tone was not harsh or condemning. This would be a different news story if he was ranting, raving, and pointing a finger. He is providing a lot of relief and simply stated a fact. Why is this even a news story?

Religion is a plague worse than the earthquake. It makes sane people embrace a lie publicly even when they know its untrue. Now that is a sin.

Strange that your response would be that you wouldn’t have anything to do with a person or group that avoids the occult and provides millions of dollars annually of direct aid to suffering people (much less spiritual and emotional support). I’m sure that many of the victims of this tragedy are today asking themselves the question “why did this happen”? Pat was just expressing his opinion about what he thinks the cause of this incredible tragedy and of Haiti’s historically pitiful condition is. Sorry that you don’t believe in people’s and nations’ actions having spiritual consequences — like curses. That’s your opinion. Certainly Pat was not condemning or blaming the victims themselves, or trying to “rub salt in their wounds.”

As you stated, Pat’s organization already has a ship full of relief supplies waiting offshore to be deployed in Haiti. What is your organization doing to help?

whimzy,
I wonder…what IS Sarah Palin’s opinion on this? Does she have the courage to comment? She seems to have an opinion about nearly everything else!

Pat Robertson said that either because he believed it,or more likely believes that the statement will please the ears of the incredibly stupid and superstitious fools that contribute money to his empire.
Either way it shows that we haven’t come very far in terms of cults,their leader’s persuasion over us and the dangers inherent in it.

Booo. Booo. Shame on you guys for going negative against Mr. Robertson. I took the opportunity to watch his comments and I had a very different take on the situation. I took it as Mr. Roberston saying the Haitian people are in the throws of the devil and that we as Christians need to love and support them. His meaning I think was to move them away from the devil and into a course of salvation. Maybe I am wrong but the biblical information speaks for itself on the Haitians and we as Christians are obligated to spread the message of God and salvation.

Many evangelicals are just nuts. Pat is one of them.

I can’t believe the arrogance you show, chuckling at the voodoo history of Haiti, apparently trying to diminish the reality of the damage that is done by this belief system. Voodoo is completely contrary to what the bible teaches. We aren’t to be putting our trust in the spirits of our ancestors. If that isn’t evil, then I guess I don’t know what is. Robertson was showing great concern and a heartfelt desire for the people of Haiti to turn from their voodoo practices. They still are practicing voodoo, mixed with their Catholicism. You may not appreciate his timing, but isn’t this the perfect time to say it? He really isn’t worried about what you think of him, but is stepping out in boldness to possibly reach a people who desperately need to rethink what they believe.

Pat states something that has been documented in history, makes a comment based on what probably is his interpretation of Exodus 20:5 and other biblical understandings and the world hears Pat say “God is doing this to the people of Haiti”. Pat never put the cause and effect on God. He is saying there is a stronghold that has been given to satan and because of this everything that follows is in line with what satan desires…primarily death. It is the same curse that entered the world through Adam. God, on the other hand, desires life and all to receive it through Jesus Christ. God is not doing this to the people of Haiti, it could possibly be a result of a rule and reign that the devil has been given being the work of him. Exodus 23:24 talks about destroying the altars and pillars of the enemy, returning to worship (bowing down) to God. We all have places that need to be destroyed that give worship to something other than God. For example, a person who uses drugs has consequences for the action. Everyone recognizes it and tries to tell them or get them help to overcome the problem leading to many other problems. A man and a woman may take a stand when they get married against things they experienced in their past. They will break ties in the past and make vows saying “that will never happen in my house” or “our marriage will not be like the one we witnessed as a child”. They literally break the cycle of destruction in relationship. When it comes to spiritual issues we don’t touch them or if we address them we are termed crazy and a wacko fundamental. There are conditions of the mind and heart that have affects on individuals and people groups. Nobody is immune to them. 2Corinthians 4:3-4 talks about the “god of this world placing a veil over the minds of unbelievers blinding them from the light of the Gospel and true image of Christ”. We remove the veil by receiving a revelation (unveiling) from God through the Holy Spirit. When this happens we understand the need to break ties with the god of this world and turn to worship the one true God of all creation.

In the end, Pat did not state it well in the brief clip that is being shown. I know there was a lot more to the show and they (700 Club)are helping physically, emotionally and spiritually with the things happening in Haiti. It could have been more sensitive to not say this given the circumstances. I would also disagree with one of Pat’s comments on the Dominican Republic being a prosperous nation because they have resorts and other things that appear to be prosperous. I have been to the DR, working in places that are just as poor and stricken with the same problems that Haiti has. They are present there as well. Sure the economy is much better and the standard of living is higher but resorts are not a good indicator that the country is healthy. As a matter of fact, Dominican women prostitute young children at each of those resorts and people come from all over the world to do heinous things with them. This is not exactly an image of a healthy environment.

Even though I might not agree with Robertson on this point, I think the B-cast rebuttal was extremely weak!

First, a disclaimer. I am not the biggest fan to Pat Robertson. This commentary is not about him anyways. It’s more about getting real and speaking truth in an increasingly deluded world. Let’s see. Haiti marry’s with the devil 1791. Haiti inundated with disaster after disaster ever since leaving the country as the poorest in western hemi if not the world. Aristide refreshes commit to devil with bed pals, the Clinton’s (who wre no hero’s to our country), instead of conducting a call to national repentance. Further disasters strike up to and including the quake. All of this while Christian organization/churches upon organization provide annual missions efforts of all kinds throughout past decades. Now the church reacts with a little truth, then you guys react with a rebuke. Question: When does the church speak up? Is it before, during or after events like these? We weren’t there in 1791 to prevent the pact, which never ends in Satan’s eyes unless by the power of Jesus Christ by-the-way. The church has spoken ever since through its compassionate missions work. It seems nobody is listening. Now we only have the afterthought following yet another wake-up call. Why are you guys afraid of the truth? If we did it your suggested way we’d wait 4-6 months for “healing” to take place so as to find a more proper forum to annouce why the quake took place in the first place. By then, all is forgotten and we have since moved on. How about researching that trend and giving a report on B-Cast. Perhaps you should check out some OT prophets and how God called them to speak the truth realtime publically in the face of Israel’s national disasters which included earthquakes. I’m concerened where in the day of political correctedness run amuck, we Christians aren’t supposed to say anything to anyone about anything for fear we might hurt a few feelings along the way. No wonder Christ was crucified for speaking truth by claiming to be the Son of God to the elite of his day. It cost him his life AND HE DID IT ANYWAYS! Perhaps being truly compassionate to the deeply hurting Haitians is to tell them how to prevent this from happening again. The sooner the better.

Well Said

You know NOTHING about theology. You should SHUT UP because the more you talk the stupider you sound. In the bible Paul the Apostle declares.

2 Corinthians 2:10-12 (King James Version)

10. To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ;

11. Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

Paul says that WE ARE NOT IGNORANT OF THE DEVILS DEVICES but obviously YOU are. You in your “Christianity Lite” don’t think that a NATION dedicating itself to the Devil, has consequences. That is because your belief in Christ is weak as water in the first place. And the way I know this, is because of everything you say about your faith. Have you been born again? I doubt it. You are one of those un-regenerated “Christians”, I like to call the “middle of the verse” people. Meaning that your entire grasp of theology comes from taking various scriptures OUT of context, like John 3:16 for example. The unregenerated like to go there as if ALL that is required of you is your “belief”, apparently ignorant of the fact that Jesus told you that what HE means by the word “believe” and what YOU mean by the word “believe” ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. In Mark 16:15-20 Jesus SPECIFICALLY said that SIGNS follow those that BELIEVE. Yet you belong to a church that exhibits NONE of these signs! Jesus SPECIFICALLY warned against thinking that just calling on His name was going to save you , yet your false churches continually MISQUOTE Romans 10:9 as if to imply that this is ALL that is required for salvation. Jesus tells you that BAPTISM IS A SPECIFIC REQUIREMENT FOR SALVATION ( Mark 16:15-20, John 3:1-8) and you people continually misquote scriptures that were written to people who unlike you, had done what was demanded of them, by asserting “Saved by faith through grace”. Which is a DESCRIPTION of what happened not the method through which it occurred. Ever hear the phrase that God is not mocked?
Galatians 6:7-8 (King James Version)

7. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

8. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

What is a pact with the devil but “sowing to your flesh”, since it’s purpose is to obtain “worldly stature”? See, biblically Pat Robertson knows more than you EVER will, even though he neither baptizes his flock properly i.e in Jesus’ NAME as opposed to the empty titles of the Catholic (false) Church, nor teaches that the signs Jesus spoke of in John 3:8 or Mark 16:15-20 or Isaiah 28:11-12, need to be sought. ( see Acts 2:38). He will answer for his doctrinal errors one day to be sure but what he told you about the result of worshipping satan. The bible says that
James 1:15
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

Through their lust they made a pact with the devil because they would not turn to Christ so that he would “heal their land”. This brought forth SIN. What happens when “sin” is “finished”? Death. You may think in your wishy washy cafeteria Christianity that Christ is going to save people that don’t believe in Him from the wrath of God, perhaps you’ve fooled yourself with the pablum puking half a queer version of Jesus promulgated by the false church.

But Jesus neither came to bring peace to the earth ( matt 10:34-38_) NOR did He come to save His enemies (Matt 7:21-23) and the bible declare that the unbelieving and the cowardly BURN IN HELL. Rev 21:8. Try reading the book of Acts and figure out why the church as set up by the Apostles bears no resemblance to your theology. They needed to be baptized in Jesus name, you apparently believe you don’t. You may not even be aware that this is even a controversy within the “professing” church. But it is.

YOU may scoff and misquote scripture to say that you don’t need to INITIALLY exhibit the SAME sign when you receive the Holy Ghost that the Apostles did ( Acts 2:4) but that’s just your ignorance especially since the Apostle Paul rebuked this line of thinking when he both CHANGED the BAPTISM of people who had been improperly baptized like yourself, AND he waited for them to have the IDENTICAL experience which the Apostles had on the Day of Pentecost when THEY received the Holy Spirit ( acts 19:1-6), but that’s YOU being on thin ice, not us. Smarmy little men like yourself amaze me, you have the biblical knowledge of a FRUIT FLY and you propose to chastise Pat Robertson simply because what he said goes against what you read on Christmas cards?

Hey Scott, What’s this? You went to Wheaton? What happened? Become one of those “free thinking” Christians? Is it that you pride yourself by going against the grain to sound like you have the only answer to life’s issues? You sound more like the world brother. It’s okay. You can dismiss my comments too because they don’t line up with your reformed free thinking worldview. Maybe it’s because you’re trying to impress you fellow reporter collegues in the biz. You know, can’t show any “bias.” Question: When should theology enter the debate? That’s why things stink so much. God never gets first place in this world. Truth is He should be the center of all discussion covering all issues. Did you forget about that. Surely they taught that to you at Wheaton.

Religion is a plague worse than the earthquake

The religion of liberalism that teaches mankind to ignore righteous living leads to the type of plagues, poverty, sickness and disease that has been inflicted upon Haiti for quite a long time. And ThomasS has his form of religion whether he is smart enough to know it or not, since everyone chooses what they want to believe in. And I would venture to say that ThomasS is steep in lots of false beliefs.

Well daaa …

I’m no Pat Robertson fan but damn man .. he only told the truth !

Man up !

Please Do NOT bash The Catholic Church and call it False. The Catholic Church was Started on Calvary with the Body and Blood of Jesus Himself. The Catholic Church is The Largest Charitible Faith Group In The World. When someone fails To Lives Up To The Teachings of The Church,even SOME of her members,That does not prove the Church is False. Who Ever claims that simply does no know Historical Fact. http://www.salvationhistory.com God Bless and May his Love Have mercy on each one of us!

Scott – for the first time ever I totally disagree with your expressions and am, in fact,
appalled by your remarks regarding Pat Robertson and his comments re. the probable cause of Haiti’s disasters. So you went to Wheaten College? Sounds to me like you still have a lot of learning to do with of Scriptural truth.
“You reap what you sow” applies to nations and to societies as well as to individuals.

Why did Dr. Pat Robertson say Haiti is cursed? Answer: Because they made a pact with the devil and that is a historical fact. End of story. We are to “speak the truth in love”. That’s what he did. Those who forget the lessons of history are destined to repeat them. Its time to SPEAK the lessons of history to those who have never heard them- like Breitbart. Research it, Dude- then pop off, OK?
Me, I’m writing a check to Operation Blessing, founded by Pat Robertson, which has been working in Haiti for many many years already and OB is there on the ground, as I write this. Thanks be to God.

Pat Robertson & Danny Glover on Cause of Haiti Earthquake
Once again when a natural disaster strikes Americans respond with assistance. The American people immediately go into action to help those in need because that is the kind of people we are. The world looks to the USA for our response. President Barack Hussein Obama has pledged 100 million taxpayers dollars for support of Haiti. However, the answer is not to just throw money at it because the USA has been sending millions of dollars to Haiti but the corrupt leadership misused and stole the money.
Pat Robertson made a statement regarding the earthquake in Haiti blaming it on the pact the Haitian’s made with the devil. He believes it is the wrath of God that perpetrated this disaster. Although, it is a factual story; the Haitian’s did a voodoo ceremony making a compact with the devil. It’s a history lesson that I do not think needed to be taught at this time. It was an insensitive statement made during the time of the crisis, akin to kicking someone when they are down. Robertson was crucified by the media for making the statement, which was stupid and insensitive.
Danny Glover on the other hand blamed the earthquake on the god of Global Warming. He stated we are all in peril because of global warming and climate change. When we (USA) did what we did at the climate summit in Copenhagen this is the response, this is what happens. It will be interesting to see if there is the same amount of outrage directed towards him.
There will be natural disasters throughout the world, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tornados, and hurricanes etc. because “It is what it is.” That is the nature of our planet. I do not believe it is “god’s will.”

Danny Glover complained about cab drivers not picking because he is black and he is a friend of Hugo Chavez.

The reason Robertson is saying this now is clear. As he says in the clip, he’s hoping that there will be a great turning to God as a result of this tragedy.

What I am finding odd in this discussion is this…Everyone declares Robertson crazy for believing this, and while deeming him so, they begin describing what a loving God we have and that he would never do such things to humankind, and how Robertson isn’t much of a christian to say such provactive things..And the majority of these folks would probably call themselves christians..I was raised Lutheran, never been devout…but if I knew I were dying, I certainly would pray to Jesus…more…You know what I mean? But here’s what gets me…If’n we are “christians”, we believe what the bible says, ecspecially the New Testament…Well, Revelations is New Testament…Yes, we have a loving God, but not only do the people of Haiti recieve these earthquakes and misery, but that book PROMISES ALL THAT AND MORE TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF US!!!!! As a matter of fact the planet is REAPED of every living thing before the return of God on Earth in New Jerusalem…So, for people, ecspecially christians to say this absurd….well, not really…it is clearly written in Revelations, it’s the grand finale….why don’t christians believe this could actually happen? How do you know it isn’t happening now?
