Yeah, the notion that there is going to be a big old battle between the demons of hell, and the angels of heaven on the plains of Megido, with the rest of us humans taking our sides and joining in ... isn't fringe at all!! 😵

The Canaanites were responsible for all kinds of evil, like the nephelim, which were also among them. They practiced bestiality, sacrificing children to idols, all kinds of lude behavior. They were demon possessed, even the animals, children, etc.
The demonic spirits could not be easily cast out, none of what Jesus gave us in the spirit was available th ...[text shortened]... over to people who won't listen anyway? I do it because it is in my nature to speak God's word.
the nephilim were supposedly destroyed in the flood. don't you have anyone else to blame evil on?
"They practiced bestiality"
when an israelite boinked an animal, he was killed. this is a horrible, idiotic punishment anyway, but the point is, you didn't destroy the whole tribe because someone was in love with a goat.
" sacrificing children to idols"
you have proof for this?
"all kinds of lude behavior"
israelites raped prisoners of war. had sex slaves. you mean like that?
"The demonic spirits could not be easily cast out, none of what Jesus gave us in the spirit was available then. "
they were simply low quality humans. what was done with the israelites couldn't have possibly been done with the canaanites
"There was no one with authority over demons"
except god
"If this continued, the whole human race would have become extinct."
one small nation could have doomed the whole earth, please go on. tell me more
"There would not have been a virgin left to bring the Messiah."

There are plenty of "mainstream Christians" here. They just don't speak up on every topic.
Yes, "End Times" as I have presented it IS "mainstream" Christian thought.
Go read "The Late, Great Planet Earth". Everything I've talked about is in there.

Originally posted by SuzianneI am not sure if Hal Lindsey's interpretation is mainstream. I've had that book for many years, but have yet to be inspired by the Holy Spirit to read it. Do you think it is bad to be a moderate Christian?

Wasn't one of the evil acts sacrificing their babies?
archaeologists found jars of burnt remains of babies and some christians jumped on this as "they be killing babies" when in fact, many civilizations cremated their dead and there was a high infant mortality rate due to diseases.
