If he's right, then good for him - he got one right. If he's wrong, it won't be the first time.

This comment by Robertson really caught my attention:

"I have a relatively good track record," he said. "Sometimes I miss."

If his prophecies were truly coming from God, Pat wouldn't miss any of them. That's the real danger of holding yourself up to be a prophet. If you proclaim to speak for God, you'd better get it right. False prophets in the Bible were typically put to death.

If I were in Pat's shoes, I certainly wouldn't make light of the situation by saying, "I have a relatively good track record," as if he's some sort of palm reader or soothsayer.

Bingo........if he were a true prophet, 100% accurate is the ONLY way.

If I make enough outrageous predictions, I'm bound to hit one here and there. Is that the new standard?

I am saddened by this sort of thing. A man claims he has the "word of prophecy" to be able to dispense wisdom from God, then starts spewing randomly hoping to hit on something as proof. God who knows the future never dispenses erroneous messages.
