31. "Left Behind" is false doctrine
Anonymous ,   Mainland, NZ   (12.02.06)
Left Behind is a false doctrine, a doctrine of devils and its Sellers make merchandise of the flock with this fiction (2 Tim 4:4). It is such a strong delusion I have never seen anyone delivered from it. It is antisemitic on its face and therefore obviously false. Some believe Christians are going to heaven in a flash of fire and leave the Jews to take the rap. Those folks are grossly deceived. They aren't going anywhere. Matt 24:29-30 says Yeshua comes "after the tribulation" not before. When someone receives a false doctrine, they receive the demon with it. Yeshua warned about deception more than anyone yet false prophets have entered in not sparing the flock and have preached damnable heresies for 2,000 years. According to Historian Flavious Josephus during the time prior to the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 AD there were many who listened to the instructions of the clergy instead of the Lord and were destroyed instead of raptured. Read the Bible and do NOT follow men.

Left Behind is fiction and is as good as trash.

I tried to watch the first movie just for kicks when it was on tv here, but it was so bad, I just couldn't take more than 15 minutes of it!

I think you have done a great wrong to the memory of CS Lewis by comparing his works to this cr@p.

I think sir, that it will be you who is surprised. Jesus said that when He returns, it will be in a cloud of glory (light) and that the ENTIRE WORLD would see Him returning. Jesus also warned that in the End Times before His return, there would come MANY men, each claiming to be the Christ. "But go not with them." Your people like to pretend they are the true keepers of the one faith. But I know your history better than you, oviously. I know that the Arabs and Persians were the vilest pagans on the face of the Earth a mere 50 years after Noah's flood. And they stayed that way for many centuries thereafter. Virtually EVERY pagan notion, from female-worship to drug-induced spiritism, came from your lovely culture. Oh, thank you for preserving that for me!!!! Adam and Eve HAD no religion for they had FACE TO FACE interaction with God. That is not religion. That is just life. Nowhere did they fall and worship God to my recollection. How about yours? Did they go "butt up" four or five times a day to God? No they did not. They never prayed at all. They simply SPOKE face to face with a guy about whose feet the earth undoubtedly boiled as it did for the HEBREWS when He led from Egypt. Those who were kicked out of the Garden of Eden then had to resort to religion to remember and call upon God. Noah and his family were spared the flood, but Muhammed goofed it up and said it was Moses. READ it for yourself. Moses did not undergo the flood. Moses escaped Pharoah. Even the Egyptians can tell you this. It is printed in stone in their homeland. See answering-islam.org/Quran/Contra/moses_flood.htm GOD does not make such mistakes.

Anyway, this same NOAH performed JEWISH rites and rituals upon finally landing on dry land. We Christians seek the alter he built on Mt Ararat in Turkey so we can prove it once and for all. We have spent MILLIONS in this search and will never give it up until proven. Your Islam teaches that Jesus was a prophet but then forbids you to read His words... and only HIS words. Why not ignore any of the other people Islam calls a prophet? It was because JEWS corrupted His words, you say? Then why didn't Muhammed give the REAL words of Jesus Christ? And why was the body of Jesus Christ constructed in a MORE IMPORTANT fashion (virgin birth) than that of your precious Muhammed? You and I both know it was so Jesus could be the ultimate sacrifice. But you cannot admit this since Jesus fulfilled JEWISH prophecies... virtually every one... except the triumphant return of Messiah. It stinks too much of the Hebrews being the keepers of the true faith, now doesn't it, oh slippery one? Snakes are also slippery. Aren't they, you little viper? Islam teaches that a man who has wasted 1000 years of his life hiding like a coward in a cave away from others, will suddenly emerge and teach that pesky Jesus guy a lesson! Islam teaches that Jesus will bow to Muhammed or Allah. But JESUS whom you defy and ignore daily; this same Jesus taught that EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW TO HIM. Doesn't Muhammed have knees? So who is the liar? Jesus who never called Muhammed's name? Or Muhammed who DID call Jesus's name and even called Him a prophet of the Most High God? So who will bow to whom? Finally, will you guys please get together and finally decide whether it's "Muslim" or "Moslem"? It's costing us money reprinting our history books. We need that money for the Ararat search for the JEWISH alter stones of mighty Noah (not Moses). And if your namesake, Teflon, is really so slippery, how do they get it to stick to the pan?
37. Left Behind
Anonymous ,   Merrimack US   (05.02.07)
I have recently read your November 11, 2006 article about the "Left Behind Game" and other articles discussing the Christian view about the end times. On the surface, Left Behind does sound like Christians are eventually getting rid of Judiasm. Delving deeper into Christian scriptures, in both Old and New Testaments, you will see discussions about how the seed of Abraham saves the Human Race. The G-d of Israel is the natural olive tree from which SOME natural branches (Rom 11:17) have been plucked out so that some wild branches might be grafted in (Rom 11:19). But He Who plucked out those natural branches is able, and WILL (Rom 11:23), graft them back into “their OWN olive tree” (Romans 11:24). American talk show host Bill Maher asked former Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu “Does it not make you a bit uncomfortable that the Christian Right here in America, which backs Israel fervently, really does so because they think Jesus is going to return …to whence He came. And what He’s going to do when He gets there basically is convert all the Jews or kill them?” Either Bill missed the point or was trying to provoke the former Prime Minister. As I have outline earlier, the Jewish faith doesn't disappear when all Jews become Christians. If anything, the Christian religion disappears when the Jews acknowledge Jesus as the JEWISH Messiah. As Paul wrote, the Christians will be grafted into the Jewish family as adopted sons and daughters of Abraham. Jesus said he came to fulfill the law. It is with the fulfillment of the Law that the blessings promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, not a new set of promises. This is the message of Good News Christians should be spreading. “Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your G-d will come with vengeance, with the recompense of G-d; He will come and save you.” (Isaiah 35:4)
