History of Rapture Doctrine
"Why are so many people who believe in the Rapture so unwilling to consider that such a belief might be false? Why the psychological investment in a belief that has nothing to do with the doctrine of salvation?" [→ READ ]
Azindy’s History of Rapture Doctrine is a nicely done historical/information essay that illustrates my contention that Rapture “theology” is only one step removed from just making shit up.
Most striking theological quote (from David B. Currie):
“This theology is appealing only as long as the pain is someone else’s. … Quite simply, the rapturist system contains no Cross.”
Given its fruit[s] of hubris and destruction, I assess that Rapture “theology” is one of the most effective strategies for leading people astray that the Enemy has ever come up with.
