Hmmm — You may be right, about everything you say.
Hmmm — Maybe not so sure, about everything.

You speak and teach with such confidence and certainty, even in answering questions.
You have to answer with authority, or you would not keep the audience.
My question to all of you prophecy teachers —
If your positions, conclusions, predictions, timelines are so clear, so simple—why can’t you, or why don’t you, lead the rest of us through the incremental Bible steps to arrive at all of your teaching, from the beginning, at our speed, not yours ?
All I hear is these leaps to conclusions, repeated like obvious assumptions, with a few quickly quoted verses to verify.
You lose me every time—too fast.
How did you get there ?
And that makes it become suspect in my perspective.
It seems to fall back on, “Trust me—I studied it thoroughly.”
Has not that been the plague of theology throughout church history ? — highly educated leaders who tell the people how much they know, so the people don’t have to, or can’t, study their own Bibles to “see if those things are so, that they were taught.”
I have never seen this so evident as in the recent emphasis on end-times prophecy teaching.
