You were saying ...

Instead of worrying about some silly, made-up rapture, let’s concern ourselves with being ready to meet the Lord at any time. After all, this very day could be “the end times” for any of us.

It might be "made up" -- but it was God who made it up doncha know ... LOL ...

As for being ready at any time to meet the Lord -- I believe that's exactly what the teaching about the Rapture in the Bible does... It's also referred to as the "Doctrine of Imminence", which you can see more of at Post #268 ...

AND SO... you'll find those who adhere to the Bible's teaching of the Rapture, are the very ones who are "expecting" the Lord's return, this very day, even. :-)

BUT, I would stay away from that "comic book exegesis" if I were you... you won't get too far with that.

Wrong. It was made up by John Nelson Darby. As such, it is pure fantasy, and not fit to be labeled as anything as heresy.

But I'm not going to convince you, for you are Pope Star Traveler, infallible interpreter of the Word. Therefore, I invite you to continue to relax in the warm bath of your delusions, and have a blessed Easter.
