Rethinking the Rapture with J.D. King | #54

More Faith More Life by Pastor Steve Gray

Episode notes

Join us as Pastor JD King helps unravel the tangled threads of the rapture theory that have captured the imagination of many. Listen in as we reflect on the recent solar eclipse and its failure to usher in apocalyptic events, challenging the flurry of doomsday predictions that swarmed the internet. We trace the rapture's origins back to the 1830s, debunking the myth of its ancient heritage, and I confess my journey from once teaching this doctrine to now questioning its legitimacy. Our conversation navigates through the potential biases hidden within the original rapture theory, while scrutinizing biblical passages like 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17, often misinterpreted by enthusiasts. We advocate for an open-minded exploration of eschatology, rooted in scripture, evidence, and historical context.
