The Pre-Evangelicals
Certain people seem to have had enough of the “post-evangelical” conversation and would rather refer to themselves as “pre-evangelical.” Interesting.

The Misunderstanding of Prophecy
I am starting to get very annoyed by Joel Rosenberg’s misunderstanding of the nature of prophecy. He is one of many Evangelicals who seems to think that the point of prophecy is to be a kind of biblical crystal ball to see into the future. In the link above, he talks about Turkey as the new “threat” to Israel in some kind of Iranian/Russian/Turkish alliance. Prophecy is about redemption of humanity, and not just about telling the future. What Rosenberg encourages is war and fear-mongering.
