Hal Lindsey Back On TBN

[nanasimmons]

"The Hal Lindsey Report" officially aired for the first time on TBN at 7:30 p.m. Central time tonight (Friday), which appears will be its regular time slot.

The production values were sharp, and this was the Hal Lindsey I've grown to appreciate. Hal stated at the beginning of the show "I'm not a prophet, but a careful interpreter of Bible prophecy." His geo-political analysis and discernment of current events and how they relate to the End Time prophecies of the Bible are insightful, and I've never heard him utter or read anything from him that wasn't doctrinally sound.

Hal left TBN at the end of 2005 after he was told by TBN officials to "say nothing negative" about Muslims on the Trinity Broadcasting Network.

According to Jack Kinsella, Hal's associate, "Hal is purchasing airtime from TBN, thus enabling him freedom in what he wishes to teach and speak about with no editorial interference..."

With TBN's false prophets and wolves in sheeps clothing abounding on their network, it's good to see Hal back at TBN preaching the Truth. Some are not happy Hal is having to pay TBN to not be censord, saying "Not happy to hear that he has to pay for free speech." But considering the times we're in, Hal's situation should not be surprising:

"And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake." (Luke 21:17 KJV)

But Hal knows where his fortune lies, which is why he's doing what he is:

"Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you." (Matthew 5:12 KJV)

My husband and I are faithful watchers of Hal's reports also, we appreciate the news and prophecy too.He is a sincere brother in Christ and it's too bad that so many don't reconize a brother when they see one.. I feel he really risks his life to preach the truth and I often worry about his safety because of the truth he boldly states in his reports....

I guess some how we were spared the scandal with TBN though..We have been watching him on Angel One channel on Sunday evenings at 8:30. I always program my regular programs on auto-tune.

I watch very few things on TBN for the same reasons you mentioned....

I never had much of a problem with Hal other than the fact that he appeared on TBN. The he left and I thought," great,h e's seen the light". I guess I was wrong.

You're missing the entire point of how/why Hal returned to TBN Dan:

Hal left TBN at the end of 2005 after he was told by TBN officials to "say nothing negative" about Muslims on the Trinity Broadcasting Network.

According to Jack Kinsella, Hal's associate, "Hal is purchasing airtime from TBN, thus enabling him freedom in what he wishes to teach and speak about with no editorial interference..."

Where better to fight the lion (1 Peter 5:8) than in its den...

Hal's website has been undergoing a 'rebuild' the last few weeks. Even so, there's no mention of his return to TBN on his TV schedule page.

I'm wondering why he's keeping it quiet...

what did you find wrong with hal's teaching? I have found him the best Bible teacher I have ever learned from bar none.

My relationship to the Lord has never, ever, been closer in my entire life then after I studied under Hal Lindsey. His teaching of the scripture is par excellence. He is an expert on world history. He is an expert on the Bible and Bible History and Bible Prophecy. What issue do you have?

[lvisnjo]

Also not a big Hal Lindsay fan. But less a TBN fan. Hal could do much better with the money he is using with TBN.

I am no TBN fan, but he actually could not spend his money better. TBN goes into more homes per airtime dollar than any Christian broadcasting network. TBN is an excellent use of money, if they will sell you the time. TBN time is very hard to get.

Why aren't you a "Hal Lindsey" fan? Specifically, what is it about his teaching that you don't like or disagree with?

[lvisnjo]

Hal Lindsey and TBN are a perfect fit in my opinion. False teaching galore.

I reject that comment completely. Hal Lindsey has never taught a "false" thing that I have ever read of his and i've read almost everything he's written. He is an expert on world history, Bible history, the Bible, Bible prophecy and the teaching of the scriptures. I love the man. I've never been closer to the Lord and I have to give a lot, a lot, of credit to Mr. Lindsey.

He goes straight by the Bible and I have to tell you, he's awesome. He's an awesome brother in Christ. God bless.

Not a big Hal Lindsay 'end times teaching' fan, but he had some good sources for "inside news." I'll be interested to see how he handles the new show.

I find that most people that say their not a big Hal Lindsey fan usually have some sort of problem with "end time" prophecy as God's word clearly talks about it; eg; they don't believe in a literal Bible translation. There is some kind of anti=Lindsey feeling out there but you never hear "specifically" what these people have against him which would be fair wouldn't it? It's sort of a soft attack on someone's charachter that's never quite backed up by anything, kind of like just being embarrassed about someone really for no reason that they can name. That ol' "herd mentality" thing.

This is sad. I never had much of a problem with Hal other than the fact that he appeared on TBN. The he left and I thought," great,h e's seen the light". I guess I was wrong. I did see Tammy Faye on TBN with Jan Crouch while channel surfing the other day. She really seem to fit right in.

Assuming TBN is the most terrible thing going. Why is it anymore wrong to buy its airtime than any other secular outlet's airtime?

[Arthur Durnan]

I would imagine that Lindsay will be among the very best on TBN. Then again, maybe that's not saying all that much. He will give it the impulse it probably needs on the road back to sobriety because, well, sometimes that Jan lady can really tend to freak one out!
