Even though it’s been proven beyond dispute that Robertson is a false prophet<\/a>, here is further proof:<\/p>\n

\n

Robertson also noted that one especially horrible prediction he made last year – that a terrorist act, possibly involving a nuclear weapon, would result in a mass killing in the United States – did not come to pass.<\/p>\n

“All I can think is that somehow the people of God prayed and God in his mercy spared us,” Robertson said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So why should we believe this?<\/p>\n

Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson said Wednesday that 2008 will be a year of violence worldwide and a recession in the United States, followed by a major stock-market crash by 2010.
\n[…]
\n“The Lord was saying that there’s going to be violence and chaos in the world,” Robertson said on his “700 Club” news-and-talk show.
\n“We’ve just begun to see what’s going to happen, and the nations are going to be convulsed with violence,” he said, citing as an example unrest in Pakistan after the death of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.
\nEvangelism will increase because more people are going to be seeking God as the chaos develops, he said.
\n“We will see the presence of angels and we will see an intensification of miracles around the world, which I think is going to be a wonderful thing,” he said.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He also predicts that oil will hit $150 a barrel and that there will be a major stock market crash in 2009 or 2010 (I guess God hasn’t decided what year he will send it). All these things might happen but Robertson has already proved that God has not spoken to him:<\/p>\n

Deuteronomy 18:20-22 But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.’ 21 And if you say in your heart, ‘How may we know the word that the LORD has not spoken?’– 22 when a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is a word that the LORD has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You need not be afraid of him.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
