Terrence, I have many other authors that I read. Even fiction and classics. I have read every one of Steinbeck's books to show you that I can also be an earthy type that recognizes emotions and lust for someone or something. To understand life, not only do you have to read it,in some cases you have to live it.
My search for God has taken me through and out of denominations and I am satisfied with what is left. That of a grace believer and a Berean. I read and study C.R. Stam and Paul Sadler, two well known grace teachers. It makes sense because it is sound doctrine that does not mix grace and legalism as most of the Christian denominations do today. They hang their hats on the four Gospels and prefer to stay away from the Epistles of Paul. Paul stated that cursed is he that preaches any other Gospel other than the one that the glorified Christ gave to him but our church leaders love to be deceived and to deceive members by mixing grace and works.
Did you know that the first 5 books of the New Testament weren't even written until the Apostle Paul's ministry and writings were virtually completed in the mid-60s? Any way these books were not even addressed to the Body of Christ to whom God called Paul the human progenitor?
Well, anyway not to bore you, I just didn't want you to think that I decided overnight to become a follower of Christ. Many things occuring in my life directed my path to the point I am now at. It is not ignorant to depend upon a loving creator that gives you peace and freedom from guilt because you know that he has felt every emotion that we humans have felt and like it or not, many millions have found purpose and direction where before, they went through life like a ship without a rudder.
Wishing you all the best.
God bless,
Santiago

You didn't know what Hal Lindsey was laughing about? There are so many possibilities, it is hard to tell. Here is a little bit of an interview at a prophecy conference in Irvine, California. Perhaps he was just taking a breather at that restaurant in Palos Verdes:

Question:

You state in your new book Planet Earth 2000, that you believe UFOs are demonic in origin. What is
your view of the potential for extra-terrestrial life? Indeed, can there be such a thing?

Hal Lindsay:

In my book Planet Earth 2000 A.D., I did talk about UFOs, and I did talk about the possibility, not
that I'm saying it's absolutely true, but the possibility that these are manned by extraterrestrial beings.
Now what I meant by that is that the Bible tells us there are extraterrestrial beings. They are called
angels. I believe, personally, and I'm increasingly becoming convinced of it, that Satan is setting up a
very clever hoax with these UFO sightings because God is gradually removing his restraint of Satan
that's ordinarily been there. He is being allowed to use his powers to manifest certain physical material
things. We know from certain other passages and scriptures that this is possible for him to do. I believe
he may well be setting up a whole system of historical events so that he can, after all believers are taken
out, have one of these objects land, demons posing in the form of extraterrestrial beings, will begin to
tell man that we've been planted on this earth by their ancestors, and that they saw that we were about
to self-destruct. So they've come back to show us the way into a new quantum leap in consciousness
that will bring peace and prosperity for the planet.
