Left Behind "I Told You So" Letters

I believe Jesus will return someday but I have no idea when that will happen. And while I think the Bible provides us with lots of clues about what His return will look like, I don't believe that Tim LaHaye, Hal Lindsey or other premillennialists are on the right track. Especially about things like the Rapture (an idea that has been around for less than 200 years and is based on crummy hermaneutics and eschatology). Which brings us to the Post-Rapture Post - The Postal Service of the Saved." I don't want to spoil it for you but this is a service every pre-tribber should make use of, as it will give you an opportunity to provide the ultimate "I Told You So."

Private Jets For Jesus

Benny Hinn is a con man of the absolute worst kind. His latest scam is to persuade "6,000 of my precious partners to sow a seed of $1,000 in the next ninety days" so that he can make the payments on his sweet new Gulfstream jet. A jet that Jesus told him he had to buy because "it is the only way I can continue to do all God is directing me to do during these prophetic days. There is simply no other possible way for me to keep up with my schedule."

And what will you get for your $1,000 donation? In addition to your "art quality" model of Benny's new toy, you can also rest in the knowledge that:

Your name will be placed prominently in a special area of Dove One where I study and pray during my travels, where I will also pray for you and your family as I go around the world preaching the Gospel. Everywhere I fly, your name will travel with me, millions of miles and for years to come, reminding me that you have made it possible for me to go and preach as God has called me to do.

I hope there is a special place in hell for Benny Hinn and his fellow televangelist/scam artist buddies.

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

Once again, Christians shoot themselves in the foot! Rick Warren does a good thing by inviting Senator Barack Obama to speak at Saddleback Church on World AIDS Day and pays for it. Because of Obama's less than politically correct position (by conservative Christian standards) on abortion, some folks feel that he has no place at the pulpit. So let's see, what this tells us that we must save unborn babies at all costs - even at the expense of thousands of dying Africans. Thankfully Jesus loves idiots too!
