Smith wrote in 1980 that from his understanding of biblical prophecies, he was convinced that the Lord [would come] for His Church before the end of 1981. He did add that he could be wrong but went on to say in the same sentence that its a deep conviction in my heart, and all my plans are predicated upon that belief. Notice the last statement. He may have voiced some doubts, but actions speak louder than words. He made plans based on his beliefs that were founded on his understanding of biblical prophecies. Remember, LaHaye wrote that Smiths teaching is true to the Scripture which is a hallmark of all of Pastor Chucks teaching. On these and other prophetic claims, the test of time has proved Smith to be wrong.
I wonder if there’s a cure for
non-sequitur addiction.
