Pat Robertson who says he descended from blessed blood? (Winston Churchill, queen Elizabeth, etc) yada yada....was or is a dominion theology person and thinks that the Church has replaced Israel. That the Christians, namely him and other rich saved, educated people like him who believe in Jesus are supposed to force people to obey God or die, such as his asinine statement calling for Hugo Chavez's assassination and that God told him to run for president, then he loses? I personally am a premillenniumist. I believe in the physical return of Christ to earth to straighten out this mess down here himself. Not that the church should make the world do what the Christian right says....by force if need be, by bombing them, "taking them out" as Pat Robertson said to do to Chavez.
What do you think of this replacement theology and of the religious right? Please, serious answers. I really am interested in what you think.

I do not agree with this 'dominion theology'. I do not believe that Winston Churchill, or Queen Elizabeth were descended from blessed blood. Gosh, I'm dread to think of all the possible meanings of that. I do not believe the Christian church replaces the Israelites.

I do believe the Bible is true, I consider myself a fundamentalist, but not 'right-wing'. Rather under His wings.
I think 'replacement theology' is either very, very bad interpretation of the Bible, or (trying to give P.R. the benefit of the doubt) Pat is not being very clear, and this interpretation of what he believes is way out of whack.
I believe we as Christians are given the responsibility to share the Good News with those who desire to hear it. Share it with those who may not want to know of it, but they deserve the opportunity, but we cannot, nor do we have any business 'forcing' anyone to believe it as if we could.
Ultimately I believe we as Christians are to live out the good news, we are to love and care for God's creation. We are to be responsible stewards of the Word of God, the earth, and all it's inhabitants.
We are to comfort, care for, love the oppressed, the downtrodden, the sick, the dying, the lonely, the hearbroken, the wounded, anyone in need of an all surpassing love.
And we are to do this only to give God the glory, and not to make someone believe in Him. That is the job of the Holy Spirit.
I believe that we are to tell people of Jesus, but more importantly we are to share the love of Jesus.

Thank You for reading my novella.

Dominion Theology is derived from the Biblical text where God grants humankind "dominion" over the Earth. It is influenced by postmillennialism. Many mainline Christian denominations (and most Christian evangelicals and fundamentalists) reject Dominion Theology. Many participants in the Christian Right in the United States, however, are classified by critics as a "soft" form of Dominionism involving both postmillennialists and premillennialists and others in a coalition seeking political power. Their numbers are presently on the rise especially on the Left.

Replacement Theology essentially teaches that the church has replaced Israel in God’s plan. Adherents of Replacement Theology believe that the Jews are no longer God’s chosen people, and God does not have specific future plans for the nation of Israel. All the different views of the relationship between the church and Israel can be divided into two camps: either the Church is a continuation of Israel (Replacement Theology / Covenant Theology), or the Church is completely different and distinct from Israel (Dispensationalism / Premillennialism).

As you can see the two exactly the same thing and neither is defined by Pat Robertson. While I am a premillenists I do believe that Christianity is integrally entwined with Israel the country. Christianity springs from Israel and Revelation says that is where it will all be sorted out at the end.

Pat Robertson is mad, out of his mind loonie.

As for the religion stating that the church has replaced Israel, there is nothing in the bible to support such theory. Another concoction, no basis in reality.

Pat Robertson is an idiot.

No one, for any reason, has a right to force their religious views on anyone else. Period.

I think Robertson is out of his mind.

As was Elizabeth I. Elizabeth died alone and insane.
