So because Greg Laruie recognizes that it is later than it has ever been that disqualifies him as a legitimate christian author?

It is obvious, logically speaking, that we are closer to the end than we have ever been. That is a no brainer. Every minute that click off makes us, well, one minute closer.

The problem with Laurie is that by readig political tea leaves he has come to the conclusion that we are much closer to the end than we are to the beginning.

I think I drew a timeline like this before:

<-------------------------------------------------------->



 |

-+-                                                    2nd 

 |                                                  Coming

 |

Where on the continuum are we?

<-------------------------------------------------------->

                                                        ^

Laurie and his ilk would put us about ------------ Here |

But he gets there by reading the signs which he believes to be a valid indicator of the "nearness" of the 2nd coming. Why does Laurie think he is any more right than the thousands of other date-suggesters that have gone before? Better question: Why should anyone believe him?

The fact is we don't know if we are:

<-------------------------------------------------------->

                                                        ^

                                                   Here |

Or:

<-------------------------------------------------------->

                          ^

                     Here |

Or even:

What are you doing, other than complaining about the pessimistic attitudes of those who are busy gathering the harvest?

Irrelevant. The question had to do with Farah's decision to employ Lindsey and Laurie on WND. I stated my opinion.

[P-Marlowe]

Irrelevant.

IOW nothing.

I'm exceedingly thankful that God's opinion is the ONE that counts.
