"No one is scoffing or mocking God's Word, or the Return of Christ.
We scoff at Hal Lindsey's scriptorture, eisegesis and failed "oracles".
Exactly my feelings here.
Thanks for saying it so eloquently and clearly.

One thing most followers of sophists like Lindsey fail to understand is that his predictions have consequences for thoses who think they are real. People make life decisions based on his and other sophists predictions and suffer consequences. Back in the 70's when his "Late Great Planet" book was selling like crazy, and Hal was predicting a nuclear war with Russia as emminent, people sold all they had and moved into bomb shelters in Montana, uprooting family and all. For what? Nothing!

These so-called, prophecy expert sophists are filling their own bellies.
