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.

Welcome TheKingOfImmortality, don't believe I've ever seen ya around these parts.
I read the first one, couldn't really get into it (and my fave genre in reading is apocalyptic themes), so I'll just wait for the movie or maybe the real endtimes...

I inhaled all 12 books within 3 months of becoming a Christian.
I *loved* them. But I don't think they're very Biblically sound. They're definitely written as fiction books, and that's the only way to approach them, imo.

I did enjoy the books as fictional. I have to say, though, I got bored with the series about 3/4 through. I have many times wanted to start again and make it through to the second coming part, but I just can't. I might get them on my iPod and listen at work, now that I think of it.

I think they're theologically incorrect. But the first book was good, and I thought the ending was good and entertaining. The follow up books weren't as good, they got more boring as it went along, and there were just too many of them. I think they should have stopped with one book. It took them way too long to wrap things up.

I watched some of the movies in the Left Behind Series but that is the extent of it and I don't think they are theologically nor Scripturally sound, but I did find them entertaining. I also found that they had a real life Christian message to portray about when we are not looking about God coming as a thief in the night. Thus the reason to always be prepared.

Loved the first few -up to about seven I think- got a bit samey after that.
The last one was good though!
Pity about the theology

Skip all the middle books (each of which covers about 3 verses in Revelation) and go for The Glorious Appearing! It was really neat - like the first one was.
The series was fun and often exciting but I'm not particularly pre-trib anymore and wouldn't consider it doctrinal.
