Thousands pray for US at 'America for Jesus' rally

Thousands of conservative Christians gathered Saturday on Independence Mall in Philadelphia to pray for the future of the United States in the weeks before the presidential election.

Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson and Family Research Council president Tony Perkins topped a full day of speakers at "The America for Jesus 2012" prayer rally.

Robertson, a former Republican candidate for president, called the election important, but didn't mention either major political party or candidate by name.

"I don't care what the ACLU says or any atheists say. This nation belongs to Jesus, and we're here today to reclaim his sovereignty," said Robertson, 82, who founded the Christian Coalition and Christian Broadcasting Network, and ran for president in 1988.

Sometimes I wonder about Pat Robertson. I hope he has changed and lives closer to the LORD, than, he has done at times, since he became a rather famous witness for GOD

  I don't wonder about Robertson in the least. I don't have to wonder to know that the varmint is a phony. When I see him squench up his face as he purports to be receiving special information from God about some sick person way off down the country and then proclaims that he senses that he/she is being healed, I KNOW that Pat is a lying weasel.

  Agreed. Robertson is a Great American.
  
  Anyone can point to flaws in another human being, that is easy, but few try daily to carry forward Gods Word and help others in the process. Robertson does this daily.

This rally also brought in a bona fide wackadoodle, Cindy Jacobs, a player in the apostate New Apostolic Reformation:

The folks who organize these rallies need to do a much better job of screening speakers. Ms. Jacobs is a committed theocrat whose notions of church and state are way beyond the pale!

  "Bighoss" likes getting his (?) nformation from rightwingwatch.org and dailykos.com, obviously he is easily swayed by left wing propaganda.
  
  His tolerance for religion is highly challeneged, the only toelrenace he has for religion is worshipping at "The House of the Progressives" .

    If you doubt that what I posted concerning the "prophetess" Cindy Jacobs and her attachment to the heretical New Apostolic Movement, then Google up her name and "New Apostolic Reformation" and you will finds loads of information that will help you "get yer mind right, Luke."

  Bighoss: When you have a gathering such as this that purports to represent a broad spectrum of Christians, some of which may hold a few unorthodox doctrines, you are bound to get a few speakers with whom you may wish to rightly find fault. But that does not mean that the entire gathering itself should be written off as a failure.
