If you don't know this, you don't know anything about what you are pretending to discuss.
You really need to sharpen your tools, mate, if you want to appear to have any credibility at all.
Don't waste our time with your sophomoric scholarship. You make me laugh!
Then why did he sign the Manifesto that set up the COR? Other signatories include Rushdoony, Gary North, Donald Wildmon, etc.
I picked up on this, too. I'm not really up on all the Protestant pre-mill, amill, post-mill stuff, but it seems to me LaHaye perforce cannot be a Reconstructionist given his "Left Behind" series. To wit, if one thinks the world is going to hell in a handbasket and one expects to be 'raptured out' at any moment; one naturally must preclude the possibility of building some Kingdom of Christ through a political system hear on earth. This kind of mistake leads me -a rather non-interested observer to this train-wreck of a thread- to the conclusion the author is either a) incompetent or b) malicious.(sp?) Either way, I'm not going to lay awake at night worrying about the Fundies under my bed. Heck, I'm Catholic, everybody hates us. -)
Certainly, though, if LaHaye is a Reconstructionist, he'd do well to keep it under his hat. Wouldn't do much for the book sales, what?
To amplify, Tim LaHaye can't be a reconstructionist because his Left Behind book series, which he designed in part as a tool for evangelism, depicts a world at the end of time in which Christians are a marginalized minority. Reconstructionists, by contrast, believe the church will be strong worldwide before the end.
