Their course also is evil And their might is not right. For both prophet and priest are polluted; Even in My house I have found their wickedness," declares the LORD. Therefore their way will be like slippery paths to them, they will be driven away into the gloom and fall down in it; For I will bring calamity upon them, The year of their punishment, declares the LORD. Moreover, among the prophets of Samaria I saw an offensive thing: They prophesied by Baal and led My people Israel astray. Also among the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a horrible thing: The committing of adultery and walking in falsehood; And they strengthen the hands of evildoers,So that no one has turned back from his wickedness All of them have become to Me like Sodom, And her inhabitants like Gomorrah. Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets,'Behold, I am going to feed them wormwood And make them drink poisonous water, For from the prophets of Jerusalem Pollution has gone forth into all the land.'" One could apply this to the Hatian Vodou priests. Don't forget that God destroyed Jerusalem in the New Covenant age. Judgment on nations is not just an Old Covenant phenomenon. Again, I am not saying this is the case, and I am not defending Robertson, but it is possible. Here is some more of the context of Jeremiah 23:10-15 (NASB)

“For the land is full of adulterers; For the land mourns because of the curse
The pastures of the wilderness have dried up.
Their course also is evil And their might is not right. For both prophet and priest are polluted;
Even in My house I have found their wickedness,” declares the LORD.
Therefore their way will be like slippery paths to them, they will be driven away into the gloom and fall down in it; For I will bring calamity upon them, The year of their punishment, declares the LORD.
Moreover, among the prophets of Samaria I saw an offensive thing: They prophesied by Baal and led My people Israel astray.
Also among the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a horrible thing: The committing of adultery and walking in falsehood; And they strengthen the hands of evildoers,So that no one has turned back from his wickedness All of them have become to Me like Sodom, And her inhabitants like Gomorrah.
Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets,’Behold, I am going to feed them wormwood And make them drink poisonous water, For from the prophets of Jerusalem Pollution has gone forth into all the land.’”

One could apply this to the Hatian Vodou priests. Don’t forget that God destroyed Jerusalem in the New Covenant age. Judgment on nations is not just an Old Covenant phenomenon. Again, I am not saying this is the case, and I am not defending Robertson, but it is possible.

However, it is true from what I have read that a Vodou ceremony was the spark of the Hatian Revolution. It is also a fact that many Hatians still practice Vodou, mixing it with Catholicism, which was a traditional way of hiding it when they were slaves. Whether the quakes were a Judgment from God or not, the people are still enslaved by this demonic religion and God will work this out to His Glory as he always does.

Sun, 17 Jan 2010 21:35:24 +0000 http://www.whitehorseinn.org/archives/331.html#comment-578 I along with Tom,am not justifying Pat Robertson's comments. But would grant the fact that he may (not to read his mind) have ment to say,(but ofcourse did not), that God is judgeing the whole world and that we all stand in judgement before the almighty.Another sober reminder that when any given nation turns there back on God he will remove his lambstand from that nation.The United States is no different in this regard and may in fact be exsperienceing Jesus removeing his lambstand from us right now in this present day. Let us pray for the country of Haiti and the Haitian people it is going from bad to much much worse there as I am writing this. God's Grace abounds and he will use this horrific situation to bring Glory to his name. I along with Tom,am not justifying Pat Robertson’s comments.

It really is contemptible when people like Robertson use a claim to have extra-Biblical as a means of furthering their own self-interest, rather than proclaiming the gospel of Christ in the spirit of love and truth.

This is not to justify Pat Robertson's comments, untimely that they may have been,and possibly mistaken also, but in fairness it doesn't seem unreasonable to consider the points he made, any more than it would be right to call Jesus callous for his remarks about a couple of very painful situations in His day and neighborhood. Is this calamity in Haiti related to the supposed "pact with the devil"?--who can say, but we can say that God is able to use the most horrendous circumstance in a redemptive way, and for that we give Him thanks and serve Him and our suffering fellow humans in love.

It is much appreciated. I've had several conversations with unbelievers and all Robertson has accomplished is causing us to have to explain why he isn't representing biblical faith or our Lord.
