And of course we can’t forget this. Believe me, I have tried.

A more personal site, d-dizzle fo shizzle, is being worked on. Don’t visit yet - the theme sucks, and I need to change it. If you do not share my love of Xena, 24, and Apple - prolly not a place you will want to visit. If you are an Apple freak as I am, be sure to check out i drank the koolaid; a satirical Apple fan blog.

Ep. 16 is something different than I have done before. I have come across some interesting information from Pastor David Lowman that I think justifies a very short backtrack into the material we covered in Episodes 4 and 6: The Road to Olivet and Answer Me These Questions Three.

This is part two of a somewhat humourous critique that I will be doing on the audio version of Left Behind by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins. This is the second part and still barely gets into the opening chapter of the first book. I explain further why I am doing this to begin with and why, although I am handling this is a joking manner, infantile reduction of Christianity in American Christianity is a major problem.
Issues Discussed
Immature depiction of the roles of men and women with juvenile suggestive names.
Being obsessed with the “End Times” and the “Rapture” - i.e. the Rapture is not the Gospel nor is it our calling to wait around to be snatched out of the world.
Christianity is about death and resurrection, not about Jesus coming back to get us before we die.
Using scare-tactic eschatology as a witnessing tool.
Nonsensical eisgesis.
Sensationalism.
IMPORTANT: I quoted another author’s critique in my introduction. It is possible that some listening may think I was claiming that LaHaye and Jenkins are not Christians or that the Gospel is not presented at all in the book. I absolutely have no reason to believe that LaHaye and Jenkins are not brothers in Lord, and yes, there are times when the very basic Gospel is presented, but the doctrines stressed in Left Behind are not the Gospel and can distract from any true Gospel messages.
Links and Resources
Slacktivist: Left Behind . The arrangement of the pages is somewhat odd, rather than hitting “next” to move forward, hit “previous.” Think of it as reading from right to left rather than left to right. Also, you will need to read from the bottom entry on the page to the top. Don’t blame me, that is the way the material is set up.
I purchased the full rights to my wonderful theme music. I thank Mark Blasco for the wonderful job he did in creating it. That purchase means that I am definitely in for the long haul.
PS: I posted a response at Gary DeMar’s blog to his latest Olivet post. What are the chances of it getting approved? About the same chances as my endorsing Vista? Yeah, I’d say that is about right.
Ep. 15 is the ninth of an ongoing verse by verse study of the Olivet Discourse as recorded in Matthew 24 and is intended to be an audio companion to the written commentary It’s Not the End of the World located at http://www.preteristsite.com/plain/warrenend.html. The topic in this episode is Matthew 24:16-20:
. . then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath.

Important Podcast News
I am taking about two weeks off as I am overloaded with some other projects, so I will not even be thinking of starting preparation for the next episode until then. So it will be three to four weeks until the next episode, unless I finish my other projects sooner. And it is likely that the next one will be Kicking Some Left Behind Part Two, but I haven’t decided yet. I have some notes written for that already, so I might do that while it is fresh in my head. Having fresh Left Behind in your head in not a pleasant experience.
Baby Pictures
I have temporarily misplaced my camera. I will post the baby pictures in a separate post.
This is part of a somewhat humourous critique that I will be doing on the audio version of Left Behind by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins. This is the first part and barely gets into the opening chapter of the first book. I introduce why I am doing this to begin with and why, although I am handling this is a joking manner, infantile reduction of Christianity in American Christianity is a major problem.
Issues Discussed
Only being able to talk about Christianity - i.e. being that embarassing weird guy at Church.
Being obsessed with the “End Times” and the “Rapture” - i.e. the Rapture is not the Gospel nor is it our calling to wait around to be snatched out of the world.
Christian cliches - i.e. “Christians aren’t perfect, they are just forgiven.” “Real Men Love Jesus”. “In case of rapture, this car will be unmanned.”
Using scare-tactic eschatology as a witnessing tool.
Representing that rapturism is the straight-forward teaching of the Bible without question.
Carnal exaltation of ethic Israel.
When the literalists find Russian bombers and modern nations in passages that speak of wooden weapons.
Newspaper exegesis.

Gary DeMar discusses Ezekiel 38 and 39 (audio file) - go to the Preterist Site Audio Page and look for the file under DeMar. I cannot link to audio files here or PodPress uses that file for my podcast instead of my file. I don’t think Gary would be very appreciative of his show being in iTunes as my show.
I had a podcast ready to upload tonight but it appears that I upgraded to the newest WordPress too quickly as the podcasting plug-in isn’t yet compatible. The developer for PodPress does the work for free in his spare time and does wonderful work, so patience is a must. So far, PodPress has given a date of about July 27th for a fix. It is possible that my perpetual WordPress ninja hero cirisme may be able to revert the database back, but I don’t want to burden him - he helps me so much already.
