Cults ever refuse the lightBy any definition, the pre-tribulation rapture philosophy is a cult, created by Darby. It dates to the early 19th century America, just like the Adventist, Mormon, Jehovah's witnesses and Christian scientist cults
In favor of the night
They won’t be a sleuth
Never seeking truth
‘Cause they know it will bite
The early 19th century in the USA was a spawning point for many cults like the Adventists and the pre-tribulation rapture/Dispensationalism. The reason for this was that it was a new country, with a new "evangelizing" force to spread democracy and freedom and many people took that "freedom" too far as seen in the Mormons, Dispensationalists and Jehovah's witnesses - to reject all facts before them.
Coming from a Catholic, that’s pretty dang funny! Thanks!
