Became a Christian by myself alone one night.
Went to one meeting in a bible believing church prior to that.
Most of the denominations (especially the old line ones) treat prophecy as an embarrassment.
Something to be avoided, even though a third of the Bible is prophetic.
They have taken up the Catholic doctrine of Replacement theology, declaring a lie-
saying that the Church has replaced Israel and the Jews.
Likewise the mainlines do not believe in the Rapture.
Most of their members will be here after that event.
Full Gospel churches (pentecostal),independent and Church of God are among the exceptions.
In other words the idea of discipline is hyperbole. They're gonna roll their us at you, just like me.
And yes, the Bible is both full of prophets and full of prophecy. It's just that they're usually either wrong, or so vague that rightness and wrongness is a matter of opinion and hardly worth the time.
So, you stick to your date and admit when you're wrong and give the whole damn thing up when you are and you'll have my respect. But, while I do expect that you will be shown wrong, I don't expect you will give it up (God I mean). You'll find an excuse for him.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
