What, you mean because it's sold millions of copies? Heck, if that is true then God really likes gothic romance books . . . They sell by the ga-zillions . . . |
He's a Calvinist pastor. Give him a break.
Besides, it's readable enough. And their speculations are as valid as a lot of others.
AT LEAST, GOD SEEMS TO HAVE USED the series to get key ideas before the hurting world such that when such events transpire--however similar or different they are from LaHaye's treatment of them--people will be inclined to go
DUH, YEAH, MAYBE THAT GUY LAHAYE WAS RIGHT AFTER ALL, I THINK I'D BETTER GET MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD SQUARED AWAY ASAP.
I consider that quite a good result. More power to them.
BTW, God evidently has a more positive view of the series than even I do. So, who am I to throw rocks at it. God has used it profoundly. Praise The Lord.
And, I'm not the least bit bothered that it doesn't fit some starchy, rigid, fossilized, tiny, tidy little boxes of some religious spirit addicted folks who seem to be quite overly bound up in their denominational/creedal/doctrines of men little boxes.

As for their speculations, I would probably agree. I've not (as yet) staked a claim in that regard, although I know where I'm leaning.
Still, I would strongly disagree with the readability. Some of the writing is just painful. I think it was 8 or 9 (I forget which book), I put down for months cause I just couldn't stomach it...
