Hello Again, All... Quick Question

Mind and Body · 07-25-2009, 03:18 PM

I have been unable to post here in a few months, but I have not forgotton about you all! I have a quick question: I was watching TV last night and I saw an infomercial for a Prophecy Study KJV. Most of the contributions to it were compiled by a Dr. Tim LaHaye (sic?). It's $100 bucks, and I figure that it would be a worthwhile investment as far as my understanding of the End Times and Prophecy as a whole.

But before I buy it, I must ask: Does anyone here own it? Is it good? Worth $100 good? Is this LaHaye guy a follower of any aberrant ideas or doctrines? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Quick answer to a quick question...Save your money, Brother.

If you have ever watched the "Left Behind" series, you have seen it. He was one of the Authors of the movies.

Like Brother Tim said save your money, or just go rent the Left Behind movies; it would be cheaper.

Really? It's got a lot of neat features, including charts and a preface to each book which includes data like what percentage of the book is prophecy. One-hundred bucks isn't really that big of a deal. I am not ignoring your recommendations, but I am just wondering if there is any reason not to purchase the Bible based on its commentary or the authors' thereof's merits alone, not so much because the author wrote some books which became movies.

Well it all depends on who's teachings, you like the best. Jack VanImpe also has a prophecy Bible.
I really prefer to stay away from others commentaries, of which I probably have read dozens, and come to my own conclusion based on the Scriptures.

LaHaye is a pre-tribulationest if you agree on that, you will have no problem with his comments. The worst I can say, is he is a consort of the Paul Crouch crowd, of which I do! not like.

I do believe in a pre-tribulation rapture, and have never been seriously challenged for that position. What about you, or others here? Are you pre- or post-tribulationist? Or pre- or post-millenialist, for that matter?
