In this book, I will deal with many issues that PTR presents and somewhat with the men who diffuse this doctrine into the Christian society. They do not deal fairly and ethically and do not hesitate to strike low blows, play loose with the truth, manipulate, and deceive to make their point. From a book by Tim LaHaye entitled Rapture Under Attack , I wrote down many of the words and phrases inserted between the lines that subliminally paint a maniacal picture of people who oppose the Pretribulation Rapture position. Here is a partial list. This is fear-mongering at its worst and such tactics are beneath the dignity of conscientious Christians who rely on God's Word and Spirit to promote truth.
Fear is a good thing if it keeps one out of trouble.
It is a fearful thing to think about having to endure the trial of a great Tribulation period, but it is a fear that will help one prepare themselves for the turmoil to come. Fear-mongering to promote any doctrine is unacceptable to intelligent people. However, godly fear is natural when one considers the power of Almighty God and the consequences of sin. With that thought in mind, I ask the reader what the ramifications would be if either of these two doctrines were found to be wrong. The consequences would be so small as to be unmeasurable.
