Only $55-00, so that you will be identified as one of the good guys.

I'm getting a divine revelation on some new business ideas.

I have a Hal Lindsay rapture sling-shot ...... watch the news, jump in the holder, release yourself and meet Jesus halfway in the air! Beat your friends!

While this is funny, it isn't too far from the truth. There was a TV Preacher back in the 1980's who advertised a Holy Land tour for 1988 where you could stay in a hotel on the Mount of Olives and ascend to heaven a few feet from where Jesus did.

I can match you story for story if you like. I spent a good part of the 80's attending an institution where events like that were more than a hobby.

I see and promote the humor, but there is a very sad element to a lot of this.

If you want to know more, send me a donation and I will forward to you my latest book, "Tongues in the Millennium" which will explain the linkage to these two often misunderstood doctrines. While supplies last, you can also receive my prayer cloth as your direct connection to God and His healing power. Cash or credit card. I can't allow checks in good conscious any longer as Sister Bertha had her bunions return after her check went NSF last month.

I can't send a donation unless you can bless it so that I will get it back 100 fold (unless of course God is going to kill you if I don't).

My, if you don't think that the Christian God is real, ask yourself how the Christian faith has managed to survive TBN. That is a real miracle.

True, but I stand with Elijah. That which is ridiculous deserves ridicule.

Oh boy! You said a mouthful there!

I see nothing wrong in the flag. Just like wearing a cross necklace if you ask me, or having a fish on the back of your car. I respect it's design. I wouldn't buy it myself, but then again neigher would I buy a cross for my wall, my neck, or a fish for my car.

I don't understand the attack on selling them. They sell Bibles, do they not? And they make a pretty good profit off them, too, don't they? I assume some of you have bought Bibles yourself?

And who said it must-needs be a flag for the End Times? Books supporting evolution can be bought by a YEC simply to be refuted, can they not? I see it the same as putting an Easter cling of a cross on a window in the front of your house. Just a declaration, public or private, of your faith as a Christian.

I'm a little offended by the attacks on this item, actually.

A little different than the fish or Cross necklace. If the flag were just declaring that the owner is a Christian that would be one thing but this is just another opportunistic sales gimmic just like those little prayer cloths and packets of special anointing oil they market on TBN and other places. It doesn't say I'm a Chriatian. It says, "The sky is falling! The end is near! Get yer flag here or God won't find you!"

I'm talking about the marking method and the reason to buy one, not the flag itself. You are right of course about the declaration, public or private, of your faith as a Christian part. That's fine as long as the buyer doesn't think that the flag has any special powers or he needs it for God to identify the Christian cars. LOL

I know folks that watch that channel and soak up whatever those big haired preachers sell and believe they just have to have those trinkets to get to Heaven. Money money money!

No offense intended on the humor.

I really did attend a school where this type of thing was pretty common and frankly, humor just helped to maintain some perspective.

For instance, we had a record of a healing message that would be sent out some time back. Eventually we had to stop however. The hole in the middle kept scabbing over.

We had a special school for dog obedience too. Whenever you told the dog to "heal" he would stand, lay paws on you and bark something that sounded remarkably like, "In the name of Jesus ....."

If someone wants to have a flag that is meaningful to them as a symbol of the end times then more power to them.
