Welcome back to The 700 Club.

And it's time for your questions and some honest answers.

This viewer writes in, "When I married my husband,

I made a vow to God to be with him forever.

He made that vow but admits it was a lie.

Am I bound to stay married to him?

He has done lots of things that are despicable

and I can't love him anymore; what does God say about that?"

Pat--

Well, God says that marriage is forever.

But I don't know--

as a lawyer, we have a term called

fraud in the inducement--

fraud in the inducement.

And if there was fraud in the inducement,

the contract doesn't pertain, because you

were induced to enter into a contract

under fraudulent premises.

I tell you what, your husband has done despicable things,

you said?

Does despicable mean that he is having affairs with people?

If he does, adultery is a ground that we know for sure.

This whole matter of marriage and divorce

is really a difficult problem that people

are dealing with today.

And it is so pervasive, I don't think

getting married is a contract to enter into a life of torment

and torture.

It should be a joyous experience.

And what God has joined together let not man put asunder.

But has God joined you together?

You said there was a lie in the inducement.

When you first got married, your husband was lying to you.

He's now done, quote, despicable things.

What does that mean?

I don't know what you mean by despicable.

If it includes fornication, if it includes adultery,

then that's a clear scriptural ground.

I don't know what else they are.

You'd have to tell me more that I could give you

a clear answer on.

All right?

It doesn't sound good, though.

PAT ROBERTSON: It doesn't sound--

what a horrible marriage.

Horrible guy--

I don't like him.

[LAUGHTER]

Well I'm trying to--

you don't like him?

I don't know him, but I don't like him.

[CHUCKLING]

WENDY GRIFFITH: Anyway-- well, God help him.

That's all I'm gonna say.

PAT ROBERTSON: All right.

All right.

Katie writes in, "I have been told recently

from another Christian that it is

possible to lose your salvation after you accept Christ

if you turn away from God and sin against him.

I have an uncle that came into a relationship with God,

but turned away from his Christian faith,

and now is into eastern spirituality.

Did he lose his salvation?

What do you have to say about this?

PAT ROBERTSON: Um-- the Bible says that if apostatizes,

there is no more salvation for them.

Is your uncle committing apostasy?

It sounds like he is.

He's turning his life--

I mean, he's turning his back on Jesus.

He's counting the blood of Christ as a despised thing.

And he's turning to this eastern religion.

It isn't for me to say whether he has lost his salvation

or not.

But I will say, he's in danger of it.

And can he lose it under those circumstances?

Absolutely.

You know, I know somebody who went off-- was a Christian,

then went off to the new age for about a year,

lived in a commune, and came back.

Because the husband never stopped praying for the wife--

came back stronger than ever.

So there is hope, at least.

PAT ROBERTSON: Oh, of course there is.

But yeah-- but if, like you said, if you turn your back,

it's not gonna be good.

You turn the back on the Lord.

But yes, there's always hope.

Absolutely-- absolutely.

OK.

Vinnie says, I have forgiven my dad for my childhood traumas.

Why do I still face depression and anxiety?

What exactly would cure me?

PAT ROBERTSON: You know, I hate to tell you,

I'm not a psychiatrist.

And I'd have to get to know you better to tell you

what's wrong with you.

Those early traumas-- I don't know

what your father did to you.

But the biggest thing in your life is to forgive.

You know, when you stay and pray, the Bible says,

if you have ought against any, forgive,

that your Heavenly Father may forgive you.

If you want to enter into the power of God,

forgive the trauma that your father created.

Whatever he did to you-- and I don't

know what it was-- whatever it was, you forgive him.

Because you're not hurting him by having

a grudge in your heart.

But you are hurting yourself.

OK.

All right.

Charlotte says, I was recently invited to a startup church.

And during the service, I was introduced.

The pastor said that there are things I'm

going to do within the church.

That grabbed my attention.

Yet it was my first visit.

And I felt pressured.

He also preached that it is a sin not to come to church.

Is this true?

PAT ROBERTSON: Well, look, the Bible

says don't forsake the assembly of yourselves together.

But is it a sin not to go to church on Sunday morning?

I don't see that it is.

Assembling together is whatever--

coming together in the Lord, and not showing up

with that man's church.

I think that he has a revelation about you that may be faulty.

I don't think you need to alter your life after the revelation,

so-called, of somebody else.

You know, God will give you--

he knows how to speak to you.

He knows who you are, where you live, and what your name is.

And he can speak to you clearly.

So let him talk to you.

Don't let somebody else tell you what

you are supposed to be doing.

I think that's very important.
