I hoped to learn something new about Lot's Wife . . .but alas! I was disappointed., August 4, 2008
This review is from: REMEMBER LOTS WIFE (Paperback)
From the foreward to the very end of the book (which I almost round-filed after reading the foreward) - the author posturizes defensively.
What do I mean? Since this is copyrighted, I will have to paraphrase, but from her first sentence in the foreward and following, she exhorts everyone to read and study Scriptures on their own - not just accept someone else's study or opinion. This is good! I whole-heartedly agree!
Then she goes on to say that there will be those who read this book and will dismiss it as full of lies or deceptions...and then tells us - (those not in agreement with her views) to prayerfully consider the errors of our ways and ask the H.S. to speak to our heart as well. (uh, hello. Seems to me that I spend plenty of time prayerfully seeking guidance and truth through the Holy Spirit - yet I still don't agree with her interpretation of Scripture.) I'm not sure that means I am in error, though. She leaves absolutely no room that it might be her interpretation that is in error and she even suggests that ALL previous Bible Theologians have been in error in their interpretation. WOW! At least that leaves me in good company.
If you truly have studied the Bible indepth, I say - read away and enjoy the cherries, but beware the pits. If you have not studied the Bible much, then I would recommend you don't buy this book. There are way better books that accurately reveal end time truths and stay scripturally intact.
On page 55 of this book, she makes the claim that the Lord does not dispense eternal punishment for the wicked. She seems to believe in a Nirvana. She attributes the fact that we might believe such "nonsense" to the devil. Personally, I believe it because Revelation 20 makes the claim and I am a believer that all of Scripture is God-Breathed and without error.
She says the punishment will be forever - just not the punishing. ?? She says the fire will go out, but doesn't give Scriptural support.
There are many such assertions and I finally grew weary marking up the book with my comments.
At one point she bases her argument and rationale on what is "fair". Since, in her eyes - it would not be "fair" for God to not 'destroy' the wicked. She claims there will be no eternal torture. They just won't be anymore. Then asks, "What could be fairer?" ummmmmmh, Lessee, what about Abraham, the beggar and the rich man? Seems like the rich man was well aware of his situation and very much alive, desiring to send someone to warn his brothers about their fate.
One last remark: She hails from LaSalle Extension University & the Newspaper Institute of America. Enough said.
