Reflections Along the Jesus Way
September 26, 2024 – Quote for the Day:
“As long as I misunderstood the Book of Revelation, I accepted predictions and date setting as a part of my life; failed predictions would all simply be re-issued by extending the goal line to some even more future and far off date. In my case, religious legalism and prediction addiction teamed up as a lethal one-two religious punch. While they both may exist apart from one another, they are cousins in the sense that they are religious co-conspirators. They contribute to one another, leading to the same kind of religious captivity. I experienced the ‘combo-platter’ of religious legalism and prediction addictions, and while they go together like rice and beans, or hamburgers and French fries, they may be ‘served’ as a la carte selections, independent of each other. Not everyone who is captivated or seduced by prediction addiction finds themselves in a church that authoritatively controls and manipulates. And there are many who are captives of religious legalism who do not believe in any of the eschatological notions of ‘end-times’ teaching.”
