“The “rapture” never happened and it never will.”

This is a denial of the Scripture.

Hint it is not there it is an invention or tradition of men most notably Darby and Scofield

“The secret “rapture” never happened and it never will.”

......This is a denial of the Scripture.

Nah, just a refutation of a 19th century heretic (Edward Irving) and one of his followers named John Darby. There is nothing in scripture that gives any credence to the doctrine of a "secret" coming of Jesus predating his return to judge the world. This is why there is [ahem] NO mention of this doctrine by ANY theologian prior to 1830 (and yes, I have read Grant Jeffrey's extremely dishonest attempt to refute this). It was simply unheard of BECAUSE...... the scriptures simply don't teach it. If you aren't looking for it because of other factors, you would NEVER surmise this doctrine from the clear teaching of the bible.
