OK questions.

Right now your questions, honest answers.

Let's go for it.

Pat, this first one comes from Julie, who says,

"As part of the born-again experience,

we must allow Jesus to give us a new nature.

Do we have to be completely free of sin

if we want to get into heaven?"

I don't think so, because there's nobody who's

ever going to perfect himself.

Jesus Christ is the answer to heaven.

And in Him, you have complete forgiveness of your sin.

All sins and blasphemies will be forgiven for the sons of man.

Why?

Because of the blood of Jesus.

But by works of righteousness, no man shall get into heaven.

There's no work, so no amount of self-cleansing you can do.

So don't try to free yourself from sin.

Let the Lord do it, and take His grace.

And grace remains unmerited favor.

That's what you have.

And that's what's going to get us

into heaven is the sacrifice of Jesus,

not works that we have done, all right?

OK.

This is a male viewer who says, "Dear Pat, I recently

discovered my stepson is a pedophile.

He lives at home with us and does not work.

He's going to be 22 soon, and my wife is quite prepared to take

care of him-- pay his way--

until he moves out or even if he doesn't.

He's unrepentant, and has nothing to do with the Lord.

I feel that I need to separate myself

from this, which may include separating from my wife.

I love my wife, but cannot live like this.

How should I handle this?"

I can't believe your wife.

She's enabling a pedophile.

She's enabling him.

She is comforting him in his sin.

Now, what should you do?

I mean, if he is actively pursuing pedophilia,

you should turn him into the cops.

I'm serious.

You harboring somebody like that,

you are participating yourself in your home.

So I know that's hard, but you need

to blow the whistle on that guy.

If he's engaging and he's a pedophile,

does that mean he has tendencies or he's actually doing it?

If he's doing it, turn him into the cops.

If he's not doing it, you and your wife

may have to have a parting of the ways.

You can't live with this stuff, and you can never

allow your wife to continue to enable.

You know, she's not helping him.

She's enabling him in not only a gross sin.

It's illegal.

Well, endangering someone else's child, potentially.

I mean, that's crazy.

Well of course it's endangering them.

I mean, with that thing in your home,

and who knows what he's going to do

and when he's going to do it?

OK, this is the Amanda, Pat, who

says, "I've been engaged to my fiance for almost three years

now.

And when I first met him, he was super loving, compassionate,

kind, and caring.

For about the past two years, he's

been completely horrible to me.

He's not the man I once knew.

He has cheated on me.

He constantly goes on dating websites, and he lies to me.

He calls me hurtful and mean names, and has physically

and emotionally abused me.

I don't know if God wants me to stay with him or to leave him.

What do you think I should do?"

Yeah, really.

[LAUGHTER]

You've got to be kidding.

What do I think?

Get out of there as fast as you can.

Leave off the key.

Get out the back gate, and get yourself free.

This guy is a loser.

You don't want that.

Get out of it.

You're not married to him.

You have no obligation legally whatsoever.

Leave him.

Good grief.

He's cheating on you.

He's abusing you.

And you asked me, what do you think God wants you to do?

God doesn't want you to get into a relationship.

I mean, what if you married that clown

and started having children with him?

It'd be horrible.

Leave.

L-E-A-V-E, leave.

How do you really feel about that?

PAT ROBERTSON: Yeah.

[LAUGHTER]

OK.

This is a viewer who says, "I have a 49-year-old son.

He's divorced and shares 50% custody

of his 10-year-old daughter and 12-year-old son."

He lives in LA and he brings home $2,530 net per month.

That includes $400 in cash tips.

My son has a good heart.

But ever since his divorce, he is financially irresponsible

and thinks it will all just work out.

He recently got a five-day eviction notice.

I paid it because I cosigned for him.

In the past, I've paid many bills for him.

I'm at a loss as to what to do.

Do I continue to help him or should I

let him fail and learn?

The only reason I haven't done so yet

is because I worry so much for my grandchildren.

They shouldn't have to suffer because of their dad's

mistakes."

Well, here you go again.

You've got a loser, and you are enabling.

He doesn't make any kind of money.

What did you say, $2,300?

$2,530 a month.

A month?

And that includes $400 in cash tips, so I imagine that varies.

Well, that's virtually nothing.

TERRY MEEUWSEN: Yeah.

So I don't know how he's all that--

He might be frustrated by not knowing

how to manage a small amount with much responsibility.

What you might do with him is to get

him a financial counselor who can go over

with him what he needs to do.

And possibly, he needs another job.

He's obviously working at the low end of the scale,

and he's relying on a few tips to make the difference.

But you don't need to get involved with that.

And again--

TERRY MEEUWSEN: Yeah, he's 49.

We enable people.

We've got to let people stand on their own two feet.

That's the important thing.

You're not helping somebody when you carry them along

in their problem.

One last question.

OK.

This is a viewer who says, "Can people

see their guardian angel?

My mom was in church one night.

And when she closed her eyes, she

saw a big man with wings wearing a short toga

with a sash posing as if he was ready to take off and fly.

My mom opened her eyes and felt like the wind got knocked out

of her.

What was this?"

Well, I don't know what your mother saw, because I

wasn't there with her.

But I do think that the important thing is that can you

see guardian angels?

No.

But do people have revelation?

There was a guy named Branham.

He had a healing ministry.

He saw angels over people, and then he spoke,

and they were healed.

And you remember Joshua, there was an angel of the Lord

came to him before they came into the promised land.

So you do see angels, but--

TERRY MEEUWSEN: Not generally, though.

Yeah.

But the one thing we don't want to do

is to start worshipping angels.

We worship Jesus.

And Jesus is above all the angels, so keep that in mind.

So to spend time looking for guardian angels,

I don't know that that's biblical, that each one of us

has a-- these are sent to look after the heirs of salvation.

But I don't know that it says that every one of us

has our own special angel.

I don't see that in the Bible.

OK.
