You’re missing the point.
The Bible has been around for thousands of years.
It was only in the 1800s or so that a bunch of the stuff about the Rapture was, hmmm, call it explicitly formulated in something like its present form.
The funny part is, the Americans who believe it got high on their own supply and proclaimed they were returning to the TRUE Christianity™ to the point they believed they were the only real Christians, and those who followed an unbroken set of teachings dating back to Apostolic times didn’t really follow Christianity.
I must admit I’m not as impressed by that attitude as I used to be.
of words in this thread so far...
and a few of them from the bible.
GW, it seems to me that EVERY group that claims Christ as their Savior thinks that their way is the best, if not only, way.
