DUELING SERMONS: JESUS VS. PAT ROBERTSON

This past Sunday, my father preached out of Luke chapter 13.  Hear what Jesus had to say about people who are victims of terrorist attacks and natural disasters (emphasis mine):

1 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?

3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?

5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

Contrast with Pat Robertson, who is convinced that the reason there was so much loss of life in Haiti is not because of an unsafe infrastructure, but because those people are so much more evil sinners than the rest of us that they deserve more misery than we do.

SOLVE A BRAIN TEASER!

I just did a write-up on Squidoo about a real-life incident where I was locked out of my car.  It presents the whole story and then invites you to make a guess about how the problem was solved.  See if you can solve "The Case of the Locked Beetle".
