"I know people who could be doing a lot of good in their communities and spreading the Word to those who do not have Christ in their lives, yet they spend all their free time learning "bible codes", checking and rechecking predictions and trying to convince fellow believers that their religious opinions are mandatory."

Hi w -- The original reason for my post had nothing to do with the writing or theological accuracy of the Left Behind series; rather, it was intended to direct attention to the anti-Christian writing of the secular socialist who began the article telling the reader about the book series, but ended up foaming when he began to speak specifically about Christian Conservatives.

But since you mentioned it, it isn't quite clear how you arrived at likening Dispensationalism with "bible codes" and "checking and rechecking predictions." I know lots of sound dispensationalists (none of whom are into either of those things and, in fact, they sternly reject both bible codes and pseudo-prophets), and they also happen to be excellent witnesses for Christ.

How did you arrive at connecting all Dispensationalists with "bible code" folks? Just curious...

If you could show me where I said all Dispensationalists are bible coders, I'd be much obliged.

Well, the author is obviously ignorant. He's trying to link the President and the Attorney General with most wild-eyed form of Dispensationalism as well as with the theonomist movement. That's his goal, and he's clearly trying to bend the facts to fit his theories.
