Ugh!!! The Rapture is an almost entirely made up doctrine stitched together from two unrelated verses in the Bible and literally dreamed up by a little girl and a fundamentalist preacher.

The medieval church kept the word of God from the people by refusing to translate it and make it available in common vernacular. The modern church seems to be able to keep the word of God from the people by burying it under layers of apocalyptic fan fantasy scripts.

(Sorry if my rant rubs your particular belief system wrong - I just cant stand what I consider the important heart of the Gospel message being diminished by fire and brimstone porn.)

No problem. It’s just something I (we) keep hearing over and over again from the televangelist types. As to it’s origins or validity in Christianity I would have to say I’m ignorant on that subject.
