I, for one, would rather ere on the side of being over prepared then to suffer like those who scoffed at Noah, Lot, and Joseph or those who will suffer for scoffing at us who would be prepared today.

This claim is so hollow as to be laughable. You have no clue what you are preparing for. Is it next week or in a hundred years? Will the US be involved or no? Will it be a microchip under the skin, a credit card with 666 imprinted, or a tattoo on one’s backside? Will it involve the Arabs or the Russians? What about the EU? Or the Chinese? Or the North Koreans? How many Israelis will be slaughtered while the Church hangs out on their cloud somewhere? The story changes every time a new edition of the newspaper gets printed. Truly the stuff of prophecy pimps.

And to shamefully hide behind a verse like 2 Peter 3:3 is a true indication of desperation. You confuse the scoffing against biblical truth (Peter’s subject) with folks who simple question the laughable exegesis of modern literalist futurists. The real scoffers of God’s truth are the modernists who need to reinvent their interpretation every time events change.

I recall one of those crazy novels (anyone remember prophecy "expert" Salem Kirban?) that helped to abort the Jesus Movement of 1970. The A.C. character changed the placard on his desk from displaying "Prayer changes things" to "Things change prayer." The man who marries the spirit of the age is soon a widower.

I love your use of the word Modernist. That's gotta make an impression, if these folks are at all teachable. Fundamentalism preened itself on its opposition to "modernism," then promptly began prostituting its message to dance attendance on lamestream media headlines.
