You should keep in mind that Hal has never said he was or is a prophet, but he is one of the most studious of the prophecy scholars and as such is bound to make mistakes, as does any other scholar.

If scholars made no mistakes, there would be no need of mal-practice insurance. For doctors, insurance agents and dentist are scholars.

Does he refund the purchase price of books, tapes, videotapes, etc. when the information becomes 'outdated' or 'revised'? His theories conflict with other 'scholars', but they have one thing in common: their stuff is for sale at the Christian bookstores. As far as the buyers and the sellers of that trash are concerned, let their money perish with them, since they think the gift of god (e.g. Spiritual discernment, prophecy, prophetic insight) can be purchased with money.

Hal can't even discern...

"You should keep in mind that Hal has never said he was or is a prophet..."

Three things:

Note the headline for his article: "..Hal Lindsey * highlights prophecies * about current events."

Note the name of the website: "www.hallindseyORACLE.com". Those who claim to be an oracle, are claiming to be a person through whom a deity is believed to speak and give wise authoritative answers.

Note that Lindsey says he is "prophetically correct". Read it for yourself in the upper right-hand corner of this page HERE.

Based upon the foregoing, one capable of critical thought would conclude this about Lindsey: He is a person who claims to be a "Christian" prophet who is always "correct" when he relates prophetic Scripture to "current (and future) events", because he is an oracle through whom God speaks authoritatively.

What do you conclude? That "Hal has never said he was or is a prophet"??? :D

And in light of the fact that the "prophetically correct oracle's *past prophecies* didn't pan out, what do you think (or *feel*) that indicates?

Bump

Whether Hal said he was a prophet, he is uttering prophetic words that are taken by his "followers" (and I don't mean that derogatorily, but for want of a better phrase) as legitimate prophecy.

BTW, how do you know he has never spoken as a prophet? Has he said as much? Just asking.

Hal also seems to over look Christ saying that the first sign of the end would be "Take heed lest any man deceive you: For many shall come in My name, saying, I am Christ; (Christian) and shall deceive many. And when ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.

So if Christ tells us not to be troubled over war then "peace" "peace" "peace" seems to be the thing we should be troubled about.
