Bettylou2 get back on that horse and ride it and no need to thank me after you realize that even though it is a book of fiction, it is also possibly close to what might happen

Jayelle, what bigotry are you referring to? I can't think of any, suppose you back-up your comment with examples.

I've read the entire series and I loved it. However, I keep in mind that it is fiction, and is based on the author's interpretation of the Bible. That being said, it caused me to wake up and realize that simply going through the motions of being a Christian isn't enough. I have to have a personal relationship with Christ to be saved. I think about that constantly now, and truly strive to put Christ first in my life.

I am currently reading the seventh in the series and own the first two movies.
Although it is a work of fiction, we must acknowledge that the events depicted are similar (to what extent we don't know) to events that will happen.
It inspired me to do some serious soul searching and realize that I needed to do some work in my life to be more right with God. Obviously, I'm not the only one who became closer to God because of this series.
While we must acknowledge the fictional nature of the books, I still say God bless LaHaye and Jenkins for the work they've done.

greta series!!! I read the whole series in about 2 months and I don't normally read alot. It has given me a better understanding for what goes on in the last days. I'm sure I will not be left behind, but I have more compasion towards those who will be if the End comes soon. These books put a realistic story into the prophecy

Left Behind Series - One of Satan's lies in the last days. It gives people a wrong sense of security making them believe that when the saved are "raptured" those who are left behind still have seven years to repent. LIE...LIE . .LIE
Jesus is very clear in Luke and Matthew, when he comes again (to rapture) the church....the reward if already with Him. He mentioned something about separating the chaff from the grain or saparating the sheeps from the goat.
Secondly, His coming is NOT secret. The very text that they use for the secret rapture mentioned about Trumpet Sounds, "Coming will be seen like lighting (seen over the skies more miles and miles)
Those that are not raptured dont have a second chance. When Jesus appears again....they will be praying for the rocks and mountain to fall on them for they could not look at the Holy and Meek one who now comes in glory and power.
Just like in the days of Noah - Jesus said? WAs the flood secret? Of course not! But when the flood came, it was too late for those who rejected the offer to enter the ark.
Acts and Revelation say about His second coming - Every eye shall see him (so it is not a secret)
The Bible tells us very clearly (so many Bible references) when Jesus comes, there will be no living human being left on earth.
Those who are saved (dead or alive) were 'GLORIOUSLY" raptured. while those who are not saved (and alive at his coming) will be consumed (burned) by the brightness of His coming.
They will participate in the second resurrection to receive their punishment.

I disagree with a lot of what Tim LeHaye has to say as far as the topic goes. I read another book of his and he just spewed venom in it. Not to mention he sued the company that did the first movie because he didn't like how they did it. He sued his brothers and sister in Christ over something petty which the bible speaks out against. He is not my cup of tea.

I've seen the movies. I like the scene in the second one where Buck witnesses to Ray's friend somewhere in the begining. Oh, and the 3rd one has an episode of Way of the Master in the special features, which is really cool, and is one of the reason's why I'm saved now.

I'm not into the genre so I only read the first book and part of the second. By then, I lost interest.
However, my relatives really enjoy reading the books.

Three of my aunts were just obsessed with it; it seemed to reinforce whatever bigotry and paranoia they started out with.
Their kids' series gave my cousin nightmares.
I thought it was full of stereotypes and horrible writing.

My heathen friend started to read these, and found Jesus. (she lives two hours away) When I noticed the change on a visit, I asked "what happened?" Well in her small town of 8 familys they all thought she was bonkers for getting saved radically.
I read the books then (I found them engrossing) just to help her grow spiritually.
all my fellow believers that started the series, followed it to completion.
