I somehow missed it when I was updating earlier, but Chris Knowles has a really great new post up -- Final Events: False Prophets and Real Profits.  As you all know, I am not much of a believer in prophets and most especially not prophets of doom and gloom.  As I read Chris' post it occurred to me that Hal Lindsey is probably the reason I am that way.  I was pretty young, but I remember when "The Late Great Planet Earth" came out and all those people that were sure the end was so near.  I forget how many different years Hal Lindsey floated out there for "the rapture," but he seems to have at least finally given up trying to predict the year.  According to the bible, a prophet that is wrong about even one aspect is not a true prophet.  Actually, I go by that standard myself, especially if the one thing is something big like a date or year. Something small like Jesus doesn't really wear white and instead is in tie-dye -- I could overlook that.
