As of 3/5/02 9:49 PM Central we have $3,672.45 in donations from Never Never Land. Starting tomorrow, March 6, 2002, from 6:00 PM Central, to March 7, 2002, 11:59 PM Central,
(I have to keep track, so I get to choose the time zone)
the state which contributes the most to Free Republic during this time period will get to add Never Never Land's total to their own state.
The 20th century had 100 million people killed in wars and in other government related killing. Many of these millions were killed merely for being Christian or Jewish. Too many US Christians talk about the coming Persecuation of Christians and don't see these people as martyrs since they are non white, non English speaking, and often Catholic or Orthodox christians, not good evangelicals (Although many Baptists and evangelicals were and are being persecuted in many countries).

The Word says when a prophet is wrong---if what he specifically prophesies does not come to pass---you should not follow him any more. That doesn't mean you should "dis" him, because God will do that. But I quit listening to Hal some time ago.
It is also worth pointing out than in several places a PRECONDITION to the return of Jesus is that we "should all come into the unity of the faith" and I don't see much unity out there. Indeed, every time anyone MOVES toward unity, the CFR/New World Order people rise up.
There is also the prophecy that says that Jesus would sit at the right hand of the Father "until your enemies are made Your footstool." Well, if Jesus is in heaven, then the ONLY way the enemies can be made His footstool is by us---His BODY---on earth, and there are too many defeated, un-victorious, whining Christians still here, including many on this board who WANT to be whipped, defeated, and poor. So I believe we have a long way to go yet, although there is no doubt that JESUS IS COMING.
If scholars made no mistakes, there would be no need of mal-practice insurance. For doctors, insurance agents and dentist are scholars.
But,
The other half say the rider is Christ come to rapture His church.
You can pretty much bet that half are wrong. Does that diminish the rest of their work?
Does he refund the purchase price of books, tapes, videotapes, etc. when the information becomes 'outdated' or 'revised'? His theories conflict with other 'scholars', but they have one thing in common: their stuff is for sale at the Christian bookstores. As far as the buyers and the sellers of that trash are concerned, let their money perish with them, since they think the gift of god (e.g. Spiritual discernment, prophecy, prophetic insight) can be purchased with money.
Hal can't even discern...

But you have me confused, are you knocking Hal and those who sell books or are you helping him sell his book?
The tone of your reply seems to be anti-Hal, but at the bottom, you have an ad and link to buy his books.
I think if you ask your pastor, you will find that what I'm about to say is true and that he has probably had the same of a similar experiance.
I have had more than one person come to me seeking information about Jesus with these words, or something close to them:
"Pastor, I just read a book by .... concerning the end times, can you help me understand..."
Now the words may not be exact, but the sentiment is, the books written by Hal and others, esspecially the left behind series, have gotten more than one to come seeking a saving knowledge of the Lord.
Is it good that they make a profit of these books? I can't answer that, but, I for one would rather see a man make a living by selling his books than going around giving them away and begging money.
Alas
2 Peter 2:1-3
1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
I'm taking a history class right now, and we're learning the same thing. Apparently the Byzantines were persecuting their fellow Christians in much the same way the Church did during the inquisitions. The Muslims were seen as "saviors" because they allowed them to practice their own brand of Christianity. Therefore many of the "christians" converted to Islam.
But what better way to conquer your enemy than with "love". I believe they tried to do the same thing with the black race in the 60s and 70s. Look how many blacks converted to Islam. Had many more fallen for it, it might have worked. Thankfully it didn't work, and now we see their true colors...
