Years ago I bought into the scheme of rapture theology, but gradually came to recognize what radical disrepect for Scripture itself is shown by that line of thinking. If you would prepare this piece in tract form, I believe it would be a valuable addition to literature racks everywhere.<BR/><BR/>edpoetreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11613032927883843078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18902745.post-13689911227482465992007-08-09T06:36:00.000-04:002007-08-09T06:36:00.000-04:00Thank you, Fr.

If your readers would love to laugh and cry, I would suggest the following web items by historian Dave MacPherson, which can be found by Googling, Yahooing, or maybe Yodeling: "You May Be A Rapture Redneck...," "An Exciting Day at Rapture Bible College," "Pretrib Rapture Diehards," "Deceiving and Being Deceived," "Famous Rapture Watchers," and "The Rapture Index (Mad Theology)."

Lo...Father Hart:<BR/><BR/>What an excellent piece of writing. Looking at "Left Behind" series in the very best possible light, I see very poor scriptural scholarship. They are taking symbolic language from the Book of Revelations and creating scary stories. They are ignoring the fact that much of the Book of Revelations is indeed a history of the early church. <BR/><BR/>They also completely miss the point that the Book of Revelations is a book of hope and assurance, not a book of fearful predictions. To me the true message of Revelations is that Christ is the King of Glory, and that no matter what tribulations we may endure as Christians, Christ will reward us for taking up our cross and following Him.<BR/><BR/>In the worst case scenario, books such as the "Left Behind" series might possibly be purposeful attempts to make the authors very rich men.<BR/><BR/>Brian McKee, nO/C.G.S.ACC Memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03427983663787892734noreply@blogger.com
