Following up with a quick re-read of Joel, the book Robertson quoted in his condemnation of Sharon. Joel's complaint about breaking up the holy land is directed towards outsiders who conquer Judah and Israel and sell the kids into slavery. As much as I'd like to see Robertson completely misquote the Bible (just to show his true colors) I don't think I can state that he misquoted the Bible. It's possible to read Joel's judgement against foreigners and apply the point (keep the Holy Land whole) to Israel's leaders. However, Roberston is still wrong on:
- Using one man's medical tragedy to make a political statement against that man
- Limiting God to a single place
