1. Anyone who tells me that he knows what God wants..
Esther ,   Ofarim, Israel   (01.03.07)
I RUN in the opposite direction. It doesn't matter if it's one of our "worthies", Muslim or Christian. All Humans can do is guess.
2. ?
darryl ,   israel   (01.03.07)
where are you from cloud cuckoo land???????
3. Anyone that starts a senctence with the words "God told me"
me ,   here   (01.03.07)
is CRAZY!!!!
4. G-d misses???
malcolm   (01.03.07)
"I have a relatively good track record," he said. "Sometimes I miss."
5. #3
Dorothy Friend ,   Tel Aviv   (01.03.07)
I would say dangerous in this case. Crazy is okay, as long as they keep it to themselves, and don't hear God telling them to get a knife and use it. But given the fundamentalism of the current US president, this man is dangerous. What's he thinking? From God's mouth to Bush's ears, via Preacher Robertson?
6. Pat knows better than God.
john ,   nz   (01.03.07)
Another false prophet. He is one who mix religion, politics and capitalism and made himself a billionaire many times over.
7. Did G-d say anything about Keith Ellison's real intentions ?
KMR ,   Middle East   (01.03.07)
8. DO YOU DOUBT THAT H-SHEM TALKS WITH US AT ALL THEN ?
MOSHE ,   US   (01.03.07)
SURE THERE MAY BE A QUESTION OF COMPARING THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF SOME BIBLICAL PERSON TO THIS INDIVIDUAL; HOWEVER, I BELIEVE THAT H-SHEM DOES TALK TO US. G-D TALKS TO US IN OUR MIND. WE RECEIVE MESSAGES FROM H-SHEM FROM DISJOINTED CONVERSATIONS OF OTHERS AS WE PASS THEM, FROM NATURE, FROM LITERATURE & THE MEDIA, FROM OUR FRIENDS. TOPICS WHICH PERTAIN TO OUR IMMEDIATE PROBLEMS EVEN THOUGH WE NEVER RELATED OUR SORES, NOR DID WE ASK FOR ADVICE. H-SHEM'S ADVICE COMES THROUGH MANY WAYS. WHO IS TO DENY THE BENEFICENCE OF H-SHEM. MOSHE
9. #8, That's exactly what I think
Esther ,   Ofarim, Israel   (01.03.07)
I have long ago lost the naive belief that dictates/rulings made by people have anything to do with what God wants. Most of the so-called religious leaders that try to tell me they know what God wants are only trying to retain control over their circle of influence, and maybe extend that control. It had nothing to do with God. It has everything to do with money, corruption and power. I want no part of it.
10. Mr. Robertson is Delusional
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (01.03.07)
Mankind has been deprived of prophecy for about 2400 years. G-d doesn't talk to anyone any more. Anyone who claims that G-d has spoken to him is delusional and a "false prophet". In former times, the penalty for such a claim was execution.
11. Nuts for israel
Hebron   (01.03.07)
This is the kind of nuts that support Israel. Happy he is not on our side. It will be degrading to any cause to have this moron's support. But, if you are in the mood for some laugh, watch his show. It's hilarious. Hebron
12. 2007
Yisraeli   (01.03.07)
2007 will be a pivotal year filled with terrible devastations I have predicted this at least 5 yrs ago. USA will cop much. If you do a research on every time USA twists the arm of Israel or goes against it by calling for a palestinian state USA gets struck with many natural disasters. Someone wrote a book on this that showed many events tied to the behaviour against Israel. Israel too has yet to pay for the sin of expulsion of Jews, alas it will come. As long as Israel continues the pathway as set out by its anti God of Israel governments the results are easy to see whats coming. Unless Israel changes direction theres no avoiding it. Cause and effect will manifest. And arik sharons state in limbo is very indicitive of heavenly judgment. And no God didnt tell me as such, I have called him often but he doesnt answer my phone calls. I too am suspect of anyone who says God told him so. Ahmadinijad makes similar claims. I dont but I feel it deep in my bones and yet Im a secular traditional Jew, maybe thats why he dont answer.
13. this means ... (if Ynet pass it I open champagne!)
avi   (01.03.07)
Bush the Moabite wants to shut down Iran and to have public / intl support needs another 9/11. period. Nothing to do with gods but Satan.
14. It is all a lie
God ,   Upstairs   (01.03.07)
I never spoke to this bloke and I told him naffink. True he keeps talking/praying to me 24/7 but honestly, I wish this people just leave me alone God
15. bush not moabite
arthur ,   england   (01.03.07)
heh! why do you call bush a moabite? he seems like a genuine guy and he is very pro-israel. also he has an english name and we are a nordic tribe originating from western denmark and the far north of germany. mixed with celts. so dear old bush is nothing to do with the moabites who are/were probably semitic, like arabs and hebrews. well if you have reason to call him a moabite i'd be interested to know it.
16. ha-Sheim Doesn't Change, Man's Ears Defective
Paqid 16 Netzarim ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (01.03.07)
Devarim 13.1-6 proves that Mr. Robertson is a false prophet. However, ha-Sheim declared (Malakhi 3.6 and Tehilim 89.35) that He doesn't change. Thus, either modern prophets (presuming to speak for ha-Sheim) who proclaim that He doesn't talk to men anymore also contradict Torah (and Devarim 13.1-6), or He never spoke to men. It's arrogant for any person(s), simply because he or she cannot hear ha-Sheim, to assert that He changed and no longer speaks to men.

17. You Don't Need G-d To Tell You ...
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (01.03.07)
Just read a newspaper once in a while. You don't have to be a genius to figure out that Muslim terrorists are trying to strike the US nor do you need the word of G-d. I can't tell you if Mr Robertson sincerely believes G-d speaks to him or if he is simply a charlatan. Personally, I don't believe G-d ever spoke to anyone, not in the past nor today. If people heard voices in the past or if they hear voices today, they most likely need professional help & some anti-psychotic medications. What is undeniable, however, is that Muslim crazies are planning terrorist attacks everywhere in the world. Whatever you think of Mr Robertson, he's right on this point.
18. Panic for Politicians or Prophecy
Josh   (01.03.07)
Anyone who looks at the numbers on Iraq, knows there will be more. Terrorism is political, predictable, and profitable. Think Pat is just a money grubber.
19. Re to #17: But why muslims?
Abdullah ,   Morroco   (01.03.07)
But why are muslims acting this way now? Before 100years the west was safe from "muslim" terrorists (or muslim "terrorists"). If there is tragedy 2007 (heavy forbid)then the real balme lies with those who a century ago decided to open the "muslim" pandora's box. But rather than casting blame, I hope some wise leaders will emerge soon to solve the REAL root cuase of this problem soon. I certainly hope that we don't choose chaos and massive destruction, with the hope that when the dust settles we can rebuild a world without the "evil" other. Or with the hope that our religious redemption (common to all faiths) will emerge from the chaos. It very well might be. But the jewish exchatology offfers the opportunity of a "peaceful" redemption too, where there is justice and prosperity for all humanity. And this should be the hope of every parent.
20. ISRAEL IS DELUSIONAL
Marcel ,   Florida   (01.03.07)
What other people surrebder their land for nothing but lies and death in return ? Pat is 100 correct on the reality that the U.S. fakes support for Israel while carving it up and rewarding the Islamic terrorists. Israel insanely goes along because America is their idol,their god. Return to your God, Oh Israel
21. Robertson ain't no prophet
Rami ,   Nazareth, Israel   (01.03.07)
22. #17 Yes - Robertson Reads
Kate ,   Jerusalem   (01.03.07)
It really is hard to trust a "prophecy" that simply states the obvious.
23. #16
Connie ,   VA, USA   (01.03.07)
'Call unto me and I will show you great and mighty things which you know not of." God still speaks to man but it is usually by the scripture/word from the bible. Since you threw that aside and are twisting Judism to fit your own"logic" I'm sure He doesn't speak to you. Don't you wish you had back the intimacy with the creator of the universe? Maybe you never had it in the first place that's why you are where you are.
24. Sometimes I miss
Chris ,   UK   (01.03.07)
The fact that he said "sometimes I miss" shows that he finds it difficult to distinguish between what God tells him and what he invents. God spoke to the prophets of old and they knew God had spoken to them. God does not lie. If God speaks we shall know it. All I know of is that, according to the prophets, Damascus is soon to be no more, forever.
25. why would god chose this man to be his prophet?
rich ,   new york   (01.03.07)
im sure he has beter taste than that
26. Robertson- Please!
Jellybean ,   Chicago   (01.03.07)
This guy is a joke!!! all he wants is publicity and money! Have you ever watched his show all you see if all the credit cards he accepts and a phone number! Besides I could have predicted that! There are many terrorists right now plotting to attack the US! What a retard!
27. Robertson is not the danger here
Steve G ,   Kew Gardens,NYC   (01.03.07)
It's the people who watch the show and listen to Pat Robertson who we should be concerned with. People who heed and contribute to Pat Robertson are w-a-y too numerous.
28. Pat Robertson prophesies 'mass killing'
DANIEL ,   Lod, Israel   (01.03.07)
G'd is meeting lot many people now a days. Actually he was very busy with Ahmadinejad; how did he spare some time for Pat Robertson; I wonder!
29. Stick Roberts in Gitmo
Fred Howard ,   Chattanooga, USA   (01.03.07)
The President should declare him an enemy combatant and stick him in Gitmo to find out what he knows. He obviously isn't telling us everything that God told him.
30. Pat Robertson
John Smith ,   Bangkok, Thailand   (01.03.07)
Terrorists will probably hit America and Israel. They have the movement and the money. It seems logical to be a matter of time. As a Christian, though, I would rather Pat not be so public with such a dogmatic statement when he has been wrong before. From a Biblical perspective, it seems to me that the terrorists will cause the havoc in the world leading to 666 in Revelation 13, there will be a false man of peace that will betray Israel and also hate Yeshua's true followers. There will only be true peace when Yeshua comes back again.
