Dan, now THAT is funny! I can remember the time before Hal Lindsay was Hal Lindsay, when he was just a college worker at UCLA for Campus Crusade. His "magnum opus" came out in 1970 at the end of my high school experience. I always took it as ironic that Hal became "comfortable" through long-term investments off his book sales while anyone who took him literally ended up broke.

I didn't read all of the posts so some of these might be repeats...

If you like to chew gum so your ears won't pop at the Rapture.

If you always leave the top down on your convertible - just in case.

If bar code scanners make you nervous.

If you have been a Christian for less than one year and your pastor has already preached through the Book of Revelation twelve times.

If your church has adapted into a Christian hymn the 1960s pop song"Up, Up and Away."

If you think General Revelation is the commander in chief of the armies of Armageddon.

If you can name more dispensations than commandments.

If you've already forgotten the last wrongly predicted date for the rapture.

If you believe that there is an original Greek and Hebrew text of Scofield's notes.

If you believe that the term "Early Church Fathers" refers to C. I. Scofield and Lewis Sperry Chafer.

58. you have narrowed the candidates for Antichrist down to either John Gerstner or Don Kistler. (After reading "Wrongly Dividing the Word of Truth").
59. you read Hodge's theology to find out why Zane Hodges disagrees with the Reformers.
60. you have all of Bullinger's books on your shelves, E.W. Bullinger that is.
61. you don't have an American flag in your office but do have a poster on the wall with an Israeli jet and the words: "America, don't worry. Israel is behind you."
62. you ask the Christian bookstore manager if it is still a Holy Bible even if it doesn't have the Ryrie notes.
