Your frankness in those last few paragraphs was much needed, and much appreciated. I have a friend who goes to your school, and I'm glad to know he is learning from you and others.

I’m not giving a theological (defense); I’m not John Calvin giving the Institutes of the Christian Religion.”  To tell a man to stay with his sick wife, that to divorce her or leave her because of her illness, is, in every situation, wrong, is not some abstract point of doctrine. No one was asking Robertson to, on his feet, explain the Molinist account of providence or to answer a tricky ethical dilemma about lying to save the lives of others. This question was about the most basic sign of the gospel, the union between Christ and his church. One doesn’t even need to know any Scripture beyond John 3:16 to intuit the spirit of antichrist in the notion of abandoning a suffering spouse. – Russell Moore [...] [...] Pat Robertson Responds - “And remember, they come to me asking for specific advice and I give them specific advice about their condition, not for the world.

What part of "in sickness and in health, till death do us part" does Robertson not understand? The Romans and pagans of Jesus' time believed in and practiced euthanasia. Of CHRISTIANS, in vivid contrast, was it said, "See how they love one another!" Amen, amen, amen, AMEN, Dr. Moore!

Robertson doesn't have the courage of his convictions but instead of eating humble pie, he's blaming others for misunderstanding him.

In the meantime, I pray for my daughters to have husbands who love Christ and his Church, and will love my daughters as Christ loved his Church. Lord have mercy.
