Comments on: Left Behind? Facts and Fiction http://biblical-studies.ca/blog/2006/07/07/leaf-behind-facts-and-fiction/ My musings on Biblical Studies, Biblical Hebrew, Dead Sea Scrolls, Septuagint, Popular Culture, Religion, Software, and pretty much anything else that interests me!

There has been in incredible amount of MISINFORMATION published in the media and in online blogs here and elsewhere.

Pacifist Christians and other groups are taking the game material out of context to support their own causes. There is NO “killing in the name of God� and NO “convert or die�. There are NO “negative portrayals of Muslims� and there are NO “points for killing�.

Please play the game demo for yourself (to at least level 5 of 40) to get an accurate perspective, or listen to what CREDIBLE unbiased experts are saying after reviewing the game at http://www.leftbehindgames.com/pages/controversy.com

Then, we’d love to hear your feedback as an informed player.

The reality is that we’re receiving reports everyday of how this game is positively affecting lives by all who play it.

Thank you for taking the time to be a responsible blogger.

I find it sad that dispensationalism is under popular attack in the blogosphere and some in print. Where are the exegetical affronts? I ordered this book to see if she offers an exegetically-based response to dispensationalism – or just another philosophical/theological one; like the oodles of posts against the dispensational approach to eschatology.

His claim strikes me as way out of touch if he really thinks dispensationalism is about politics. I would have a hard time seeing Charles Ryrie, John MacArthur, or Zane Hodges as remotely political. Certainly some politically active dispensationalists are, but it strikes me as strange to treat them as paradigm cases of dispensationalism.

(For people who read this after I edit the title of this post, I wrote “Leaf Behind” instead of “Left Behind”)

But I didn’t know you support Toronto subconsciously (see title).
