Killing for God: Hal Lindsey highlights prophecies about current events

Hal Lindsey is a kook and so is anyone who believes this drivel.

You left out a few words such as "loser" and "second-rate."

Since I believe in the Rapture, I won't be around for the Tribulation. But enjoy.

Reread Revelation. There appear to be two white horses.

The first appears, in Rev. 6:2, as one of the four horses representing horrible punishments. That horse carries "one bent on conquest." At first blush many may think this is Christ, but most scholars don't think so. Together, these four appear to be relatively equal to one another, and are purely destructive forces. The other three horsemen represent bloodshed, famine and death.

Christ's final triumphant entry seems to come later in the book. The rider on the second white horse appears in Rev. 19:11. This horse clearly carries Jesus, described as "Faithful and True". On His robe and thigh are the words" King of kings and Lord of lords".

You may disagree, but this is certainly something upon which reasonable men may differ.

Believing in something does not make it so. Where is it written there is no such word as raputre in the Bible and God will protect His own without flying any one anywhere.

You believe in something, in my view wrongly. Your view doesn't make it right either. There are plenty of words not in the Bible, including "Glossalalia," but that doesn't mean they are not real, nor from above. So we disagree. BYE.

Apparently we do disagree, that is fine.

What I don't understand is how glibly you seem to take your belief. You don't have to worry cause you will be out of here. What you can't wait for the rest of us to go to hell?

Using "Glossalalia" compared to Rapture not being in the Bible is out of here.

Yes, I do take glibly that if you believe Christians will suffer through the Tribulation, it's your call. In passage after passage in both the Old and New Testaments, God ALWAYS provided a "way of escape" for his faithful. We could discuss Paul's fate (I say he was warned by God, twice, and CHOSE to disregard it, and you'd say it was a "prophecy," so we totally disagree on the meaning of the prophetic word).

But the interesting thing is how many Christians, apparently like yourself, REVEL in the idea of going through the Tribulation. So, as I say, enjoy.

So what was Daniel's escape and the three Hebrew children in the firey furnace. Do you really think that modern Christians are better than they were?

The Tribulation that you are so afraid of is a spiritual battle that we are told how to be armed for. Paul's fate as you choose to use seems to say he went against God and got what he deserved, (Paul taught Christ) so are we modern Christians better than Christ, He was kill and He never sinned. Surely you don't think that modern day Christains have stopped sinning and we are better than Christ. What happens to the soul when the flesh body dies?

To "REVEL in the idea of going through the Tribulation" would only be a truthful statement if the "Tribulation" happens as you believe it will. For you to believe what you believe, requires you to select a scripture here and there and make it fit a "Rapture". Too many scriptures have to be ignored for your belief to be Biblical.

My enjoyment comes when I gain understanding of the who, what, when, where, and why of the Written Word. Having come out of the belief that some Christians were so special that they would be removed before the "Tribulation" has given me enjoyment, I am no longer required to look at everyone who does not believe as I do with the attitude "I can't wait for you to get yours", you know kinda like "enjoy" the tribulation.

See, I never said any of that. Amazing how someone who claims to be able to read the Word can't read a simple post.

I said there were MANY instances of escape in both the Old and New Testament. I'm still counting, but I'm up to TWENTY SEVEN including Jesus Himself, twice. Do you think you are better than the Lord? (See how silly it is to use that line of reasoning?) PAUL escaped once when he chose to obey the warnings. Is he a fool?

God HIMSELF said in Hebrews that there were many killed and tortured, having refused a "way of escape." (I know your response to this already: "Well, the 'way of escape' was to accept the Romans' gods." No, that is not what that means.) If God did not want you to escape, who provide a MEANS to escape? Isn't that defeating His purpose?

Jesus said "I came that you might have LIFE and have it more abundantly." There is no "life" in the Trib, no matter how you shape it, so you are calling Jesus a liar. James said "every GOOD and PERFECT gift comes down from the Father of lights . . . ." The Trib ain't a good and perfect gift.

I don't "revel" in what anyone will go through in the Trib. You apparently do, considering it "warfare." Fine. You have made your choice. You CANNOT, in my view, be raptured out if you do not believe in the RAPTURE, any more than you can speak in tongues without believing in speaking in tongues, or tithe without believing in tithing. The Lord requires FAITH for everything, and I can't see why the Rapture would be different. Notice that the Hebrews carrying the Ark "believed" in God, yet one of them did not believe in His commandment not to touch the Ark, for when it fell, he steadied it, and died. Yet he was a faithful Hebrew. He just didn't have faith in that part of the Word.

Now, let me point out that you, in essence, PROMISED to be finished with me about three posts ago. Are we not to believe your word?
