Well, the whole thing about him clearing the money changers out of the temple, that was most certainly new testament, though… The whole money changers out of the temple stuff was part of a larger historical narrative of the tensions between Jews and the roman empire in Jerusalem… the historical Jesus might have been a Jewish zealot bent on revolutionary action…

It was probably 20 years ago now that I turned on the TV for football or something and saw the end of the 700 club. Some supreme court decision went the “wrong” way so he prayed for the justices’ death. Not, you know, let them see the path, light, yadda yadda yadda, just for them to be killed.

How about people who turn his father’s house in to a market place? Oops, maybe Pat Robertson had better watch his back.

Just for reference, here’s a UK Christian singer/songwriter chiming on on the subject of Pat Robertson.
(Greenbelt is a Christian music festival, but it’s definitely on the inclusive, liberal end of the spectrum, as will become obvious fairly quickly from the clip.)

NPR reached the same conclusion, that the $110 billion figure trump gave (which is probably where Robertson got it) was “aspirational, a kind of wish list”.
