  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Who's dead? Are you referring to Hal Lindsay? That's odd, as I just saw him in the grocery store the other day. Lives in the same city here.

He has some insightful analysis on Revelation. Some good, some so so. But I think re: his belief in the year 2000 was not a prophetic statement, merely an opinion.

He has never said anything heretical, and is a born-again believer. He has a very informative show on TBN (pleeeez, don't go there, I only watch for his program!) regarding current events which is accurate and interesting.

Only those without sin are allowed to cast stones.

Hal Lindsay and the other Lindsays mentioned or totally different Lindsays and not connected at all. The other Lindsays are connected with "christ for the Nations' in Dallas. It's the christ for the nations Lindsay(Can't think of his name) who died.

Hi Guys!

Forgot to click quote on the post @ competitive attitude from a "rival"

Just to say that several top Bible prophecy teachers combine & co-operate in:-

www.prophezine.com & www.prophecyupdate.com

Both are very useful

1st 1 to research extensive archives @ prophetic events & trends, & the 2nd sends a daily email

Each day, I find 1/2/3 features to post

As an evangelist, I feel responsible to stress the urgency of the gospel, in the light of the imminent instant airlift of all true Christians

Very often, Bible prophecies have kinda foreshadowing fulfilments, before their final ones

God has always said, "NOW is the day of salvation".."TODAY, if you hear..don't harden your hearts"

The vital thing is that the gospel is a matter of life & death, bliss or torment

To any mid-trib or post-trib preachers reading, can I just ask you to mention the Bible warnings of coming judgment & the instant airlift as, @ least, being possible, & to ask if it is wise for folk to take a chance on missing out?

The stakes could not be higher

God bless!

Ian

I'm sorry, I may have missed the point of this post, but what does it have to do with Hal Lindsey?

Sorry, but I saw him Mar. 1-3rd in Tampa. And he was super! He is some speaker and really got the crowd going.

I just finished another of his old books - Satan is Alive and Well on Planet Earth - and it's as applicable today as it was in the late 1970's!

I have read some of Hal Lindsey's books along with watching him often on TBN. While I do not agree 100% with everything his believes, he has helped to get peoples attention and wake a few up to the reality that the Lord will return (and I believe sooner than later).

Yes, he had a flavor in his books towards a rapture prior to the year 2000, but I believe many had the same thoughts. Actually, I think that several generations have expected the rapture at almost any time since Israel became a nation in 1948. My grandfather, thought the return of Jesus was at any time way back then and with all the things that were going on in the world, I do not know how someone would not come to the same conclusion.

Even though people me believed that the return of Jesus, it did not invalidate the principles and theories they taught, most apply today as well as then. We see the signs and know the time is short, but only God knows when.

So, in short, I respect him and a teacher and a brother in the faith.

I thought Hal Lindsey wrote Satan is Alive and Well on Planet Earth and they were talking about Gordon Lindsey being dead.
Gets confusing with all these Lindsey's running around...even if some of them are dead.
