Here is a short excerpt from the essay:
Apart from the obvious theological problems surrounding the idea of a rapture, as well as its sketchy, non-biblical origins, there is one issue about the rapture that is often overlooked or not considered by most Christian apologists and theologians: the rapture fails to reconcile suffering in Christian theology. Any casual reader of the Bible can easily see that suffering is an ongoing theme that is present in almost every book of the Bible, that suffering plays a crucial component in biblical theology. The rapture, however, does away with suffering, and therefore does not fit into biblical theology.

Good work, Paul! So when do they start to print your "Not Said By Jesus" entries?
I don't know LarryD, but it'd be great if someone did.
Congratulations, Paul!
It's good to see the truth about the Rapture getting out there. You should be proud.
Wow great news. Pretty soon you will be in L'Osservatore Romano
CONGRATS, PC! I remember when you first sent me that essay. Good stuff. I especially like that it uses the word "sketchy." (lol)
