• This Actor May Replace Kirk Cameron (& Join Nicolas Cage) in End-Times ‘Left Behind’ Film Reboot

  Beating a dead horse once again. Firstly, it must be understood that Tim LaHaye’s “Left Behind” series is based upon a 19th century doctrine. The origin of this doctrine comes from an early Catholic Church bishop named Eusebius of Caesarea. Eusebius mistranslated portions of the works of an earlier church father named Irenaeus, Bishop of Lugdunum who wrote a large work called “Against Heresies”. In this work, Irenaeus refers to the Apostle John. He makes mention that he believed that the Apostle, the author of the Apocalypse, was still alive in the last year of the reign of Roman Emperor Domitian (96 AD). Eusebius, who was working in Latin, was not familiar with the Greek that Irenaeus wrote in and failed to understand the what was being said. Eusebius translated that passage to read, “John, wrote the Apocalypse in the last year of the reign of Emperor Domitian.” Because of that error, the Book of Revelation was thought to have been written 30 years later than it actually was.

  Secondly the “Rapture” is no where present in the Bible – or any other extra-canonical writing. It was a concept that had been bandied about in Northern Ireland in small churches in the 1830s. One young girl, (Margaret or May McDonald, I believe) took sick and in her feverish delirium, repeated this two-fold return of Jesus Christ. Word spread and reached the ears of a former Plymouth Brethren pastor named John Nelson Darby who had just conceptualized the theory of Dispensation. The rest is

• Christian Radio Host Says God Didn’t Protect Kids in Shooting Because We’ve Told ‘God to Get Lost’

  Here is a question to those out there who honestly believe that God would in fact sacrifice those children just to make a point: Why would you worship such a selfish, cruel being? Is not what happened at that school rather more emblematic of human actions than that of the Spirit of God?

  Galatians 5:22 describes the character of God, people. I’ll list them here so you don’t have to bother to look it up:

  “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.”

  Now if any one of you can find in that list of character attributes a willingness on the Part of Almighty God to allow little children to be shot up just to make a point, I’d be most interested. Here’s a hint: It doesn’t exist. Put the blame where it belongs and start doing something to fix it.

• End-Times Christian Movie Series ‘Left Behind’ Set for Hollywood Reboot (& Starring Nicolas Cage?)

  In reply to mcwilson40.

  Well we’re all entitled to believe whatever we would like, however I stand by my statement: The Rapture Theory is not supported Biblically. The early church – including Paul – had no concept of such a belief. There is much about history and culture that contemporary Christians dismiss. A well rounded understanding of such history does much to do away with these errors. Look up the term, “gematria” for example. It will help you to understand the mark of the beast.

  The concept of the Rapture theory is due to a mistranslation from the work of an early church father named Irenaeus, Bishop of Lugdunum in Gaul. He wrote a rather lengthy history of the early church and it was from these works that a later church father named Eusebius of Caesarea errantly dated the writing of the Revelation to 96 AD. With this latter date, all manner of error was allowed to flourish in the meaning of this book which culminated with John Nelson Darby, a Plymouth Brethren pastor in the early 1830s.

  To answer these errors, I have written a fictionalized version of the events which led up to the great flood outlined in Genesis. It might give people a different perspective as to what will be happening at the end of the age on this planet by seeing what happened in the beginning. Take a look if you desire. There are two books of a five book series already available on Amazon. http://www.thegodprinciplebook.com

  Tim LaHaye’s version of events are rife with error and he draws conclusions that are simply not Biblically supported. It may make for a good read (and I read them all.), but a Christian should not give it much in the way of credibility. It just isn’t truth.
