I am a professing Christian Fundamentalist and Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins, and their books give me the willies.

Turning the biblical prophesies of the end times into fiction is something I just cannot stomach. I watched one of these end times movies. They actually put words into one of the two witnesses mouths, while the Bible itself is conspicuously silent on those kind of specifics.

But this is not the place for my full rant...

LaHaye and Jenkins made their millions by wrestling the Holy Scripture into fables. They are not a reliable source of what the Bible says. Some people are too lazy to read the Bible itself so they rely on a pastor/priest to read and “explain” it to them.

I once had a conversation with a Baptist minister...who’d been around his profession for twenty years...and I simply asked why Baptist ministers were shy on the book of Revelations. He admitted that it was one of those things that the seminary school had often suggested. Its not a positive book...it scares most folks...and its can be read a thousand different ways...which most books in the Bible aren’t written in that fashion. If he had the ability to pull any book out of the Bible...it would be Revelations. I thought it was an interesting conversation.
