(You may notice returning to and repeating some points about experts not showing how they arrived at their expertise.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
End-time experts speak so clearly and confidently on the(ir) time line.
I never hear them explain how they came to be such experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They give general conclusions and specific details (from the Bible?), without the steps from Bible verses to their position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the Bible is their source,
And
If I have the same Bible,
Then
They should slowly and patiently take me through the process to connect the Bible verses to their teaching (which is ‘so obvious’ ?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some good Bible teachers ask questions of expert end-time guests, and trust their answers without pressing them for how they got there.
It has become common to hear the building blocks for end-time time-lines mentioned as foregone conclusions without question.
So I can’t get past their first premise, before I can believe or benefit from the rest they have to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(Reminds me of a college course 54 years ago in Modern Physics, presenting diagrams to show the speed of light is constant—so ‘the speed of time’ has to warp.
I had an experiment to put on the Space Shuttle, that would satisfy me—never shared it, so I remain(ed) stuck, hung up on ‘the speed of light’.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
