Ive read some Lehaye and Lindsey.

I also read my Bible which is where my faith
comes from and is the only thing I know is true.

Its wrong of you to make the assumption that Ive only read the left behind series, its also insulting.
But I forgive you, because it must be stressful thinking you will have to suffer through the tribulation with the unsaved as if the suffering on the cross by Jesus wasnt enough to protect us from Gods wrath.

“Ive read some Lehaye and Lindsey.”

You proved my point. Where is your assertion that you have read any of the authors of preterist literature? It would be absurd to say that since the preterists don’t believe in the Lindesy/LaHaye interpretation of eschatology, then they are heretics and you won’t read them.

“because it must be stressful thinking you will have to suffer through the tribulation with the unsaved”

So, anyone who agrees with the Lindsey/LaHaye interpretation automatically skips the Tribulation but those who don’t have to suffer through it? Wow, you are really out on a limb here. No, the only Tribulation specifically mentioned in the NT (aside from the normal everyday trials of life) was the one that the Christians were saved from when Jerusalem fell, because they had fled to the mountains as instructed. As far as them being spared from God’s wrath, I agree with you on that point, they were spared.

“as if the suffering on the cross by Jesus wasnt enough to protect us from Gods wrath.”

We are redeemed from His wrath. Then and now, and not only with respect to eschatological events.
