Tony,
Yes, I've read the Left Behind books. They are a fairly accurate portrayal of events predicted in the Bible. The Bible predicts some very scary stuff ahead for the human race, But it also tells us how we may escape it. I believe that Jesus Christ was God in the flesh. He was born of a virgin, died a sacraficial death, and rose from the dead, to pay for sins of mankind. The Bible says that those who accept him as their savior, will not face the judgment that God is going to bring upon an unbelieving world. The fulfilled, and as yet unfullfilled prophecies in the Bible, authenticate it as God's true word. There are many who don't believe this, for as it is written: I know very well how foolish the message of the cross sounds to those who are on the road to desruction. But we who are being saved recognize this message as the very power of God.I Cor.1:18 NLT
