The Duck Dynasty family has made the news partially due to their politically incorrect statements, and Phil Robertson tends to be the largest contribute to soundbites. But now, Phil’s son has taken the stump and is declaring that it’s possible that America could collapse just like the Roman empire.
In a related report by the Inquisitr , Phil Robertson believes that Bibles and guns are the answer to any American’s woes. The Duck Commander patriarch also had a dire warning for Sadie Robertson’s boyfriend , saying that if they do not keep it in their pants, then he would “break” them.
Phil Robertson’s family has also become quite vocal during the 2014 elections. Phil has joined politicians in Louisiana, and he’s even helped stumped for candidates favored by Sarah Palin. His son, Alan Robertson, joined the Duck Dynasty show a little late compared to the rest, but the pastor had a heavy message in mind when he spoke at the Values Voter Summit held at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington.
“Let’s look at human civilization and go back at all the great cultures that rose up, like the Romans or others, and it [sin] just weighs in on itself and it destroys,” Robertson told CNSNews.com . “It becomes such a weighted-down culture in its own seeking of personal pleasure or personal gain, and then it collapsed. It’s happened every time, up to now. Do I think it will happen to America? Absolutely.”
Alan Robertson also believes the “evil one” is out to get them and compared some elements of the United States to Nazis after Houston pastors were subpoenaed to surrender copies of their sermons when they criticized the policies of Houston’s openly gay mayor.
“When I first heard about this and when you and I talked, I was just like, is this 2014 America or is this 1930s Germany that we’re living in? I mean, it was shocking and appalling,” Roberston said.
According to the Christian Post , Phil Robertson’s family believes it’s possible for America to “repent” of the path it has currently set as a nation.
“I think there are personal, individual examples of that [sin leading to destruction], but certainly you see from a cultural setting throughout history and what we see in the Bible especially, that ultimately costs a society and a culture whenever sin reigns. Whatever sin that is, and you’re right, it could be a lot of different ones. It’s not just Bible stories,” Phil Robertson’s son explained. “Do I think it will happen to America? Absolutely. Unless we somehow figure out that we were founded on the principles of godliness and following the law, because law is good and things like that. I think we have the element to repent.”
