Bible Question: What do you think of the "Left Behind Series"? Is it just a novelty or is the Spirit being able to use it to save more? Wrong idea 'cause I KNOW the Spirit can use anything, even the devil's work, but have you seen evidence of it? |
Bible Answer: I too have read the whole series and the only problem I have with it is it paints the Tribulation almost as a death defying adventure rather than the life death, dog eat dog struggle it will be. I also see it painting a picture which could be false hope. I know many people that are reluctant to share Jesus, unable to share Jesus, or those that hit great resistance sharing Jesus with family making provisions to leave behind copies to the movie and Bibles and books so the left behind family members will stumble upon them and view them and get saved. I like the thought but I think the theology stinks. I’m almost certain this will be a case of too little to late. If they wouldn’t accept Jesus before I fail to see this as a second chance. Personally I do not think there will be many Gentiles saved during the Tribulation . I view the whole end time scenario as dealing with the Jewish remnant. EdB |
