[Cicero]

I don’t see how you can say that a movie about The Rapture “just might be the most mainstream Christian flick yet.”

Sure, quite a few people believe in The Rapture, but that story was a nineteenth-century invention, and is far from mainstream among Protestants, let alone all Christians.

Which is not to say you shouldn’t make a movie about it. But “mainstream” it is not.

Thank You! This Rapture ideal is a bold face lie and from the pit of HELL! Please if your a stupid Christian sheep and a member of the cooperate church of America go and watch this fairy tale and feel good.

It is not a 19th Century invention. Have you not read I Thes 4:13-17, or I Cor 15:51-54.

Contrary to accepted belief, this position was taught by the church for the first 3 1/2 centuries, and was finally overcome by the teaching of Augustinan in the late 4th-5th century and his views on eschatology have been taught as doctrine ever since.

“but that story was a nineteenth-century invention,”

That statement has been debunked on FR many times.

1 Thessalonians 4:17
After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
