Does anyone out there believe in the Rapture? No where is the term "Rapture" mentioned in the Bible. A man named John Nelson Darby popularized the term and a man named Scofield (who Editied something called the Scofield Reference Bible) used the term. Now, I mean no offense to anyone and you are free to believe what you wish, but really... if you do some research you will find that the term "Rapture" is only being used to sell books (i.e. The Left Behind Series). Scofield was a renowned womanizer and smuggler (oh, and a biblical scholar). I know there is scripture about the 2nd coming of Christ and that's great, really, I just wish people would stop taking everything that a televised evangelist or anyone for that matter says as "gospel". I have been watching specials on the book of Revelations and decided to do a little research of my own... Sorry for the rant, thanks for listening.
