I am out of the loop. How did today become rapture day? I am having family members being silly about this. How did this even start?

    Yeah, the whole idea of the Rapture is extra-Biblical. Invented in 1830 by John Nelson Darby.

      That seems to be futurist language that is used, whereas my producer and I are not futurists (for we’d be Jesuit fraudsters if we believed that). It’s also found in dispensation theology, which is a pot of crock too.
