TBN: Reaching Muslims at the Expense of Truth
Late last year TBN cancelled Hal Lindsey's 'The International Intelligence Briefing' because TBN is trying to reach Muslim nations, and Lindsey's show was critical of Islam. What's not to be critical of?
This past monday 'Zola Levitt Presents' was given the boot by TBN because-- you guessed it --Levitt's program is critical of Islam. At least they waited until Zola lost his battle with cancer. Yes, that was sarcasm.
At what point does TBN expect to teach former Muslims that their old religion is a lie? Judging by two cancelled shows... Never.

I have no problem with Lindsey having a show on TV, but it seems puzzling to criticize the Muslim religion as a lie and offer Hal "the world is ending in 1988" Lindsey as a speaker of truth.
Another strawman, Dan?
I'm going to have to start referring to you as...umm....Strawman Dan!
LOL!
'the world is ending in 1988'
Sorry. Don't know the reference. But does any man who falls for the date-setting trap make null and void any relevence he may have from that point on?
Along those same lines. TBN still keeps Benny Hinn even though Hinn has managed, with prophetic speeches made on television, to show the world (assuming of course the world was paying attention) he is a false prophet. Does that mean Hinn can never be taken seriously again? Until he repents publically, yes. Absolutely.
But back to Lindsey. Except for the '1988' faux pas (I just did some googling), there's nothing wrong with his eschatology... that I can see. And in defense of myself, I've studied this for many years. I don't understand it all-- nobody does --but I know enough to know Lindsey's not wrong in regard to what happens, and when... Unless I've missed something, which is certainly possible.
In the circles I travel, Lindsey is a joke and an embarassment to Christiandom - not in the Benny Hinn league, but still...
In the circles I travel--Erudite Redneck would be considered an apostate!
D.dad.
I ask you to desist attacking me personally.
I take that back. D.dad, you describe me accurately -- in the sense that I am, indeed, an apostate of fundamentalism, in that I have abandoned it.
Sometimes the truth hurts!
Imagine "if" in the old testament: Yeah, guys... The golden calf is nice and all, and I'm sure you're all great guys... But could you stop with the idol stuff and consider this?
Riiiight.
