[Peace-discuss] A Christian heresy

["E. Wayne Johnson 朱稳森"]

Rapture theology is a "damnable heresy" as Simon Peter might have said 
in so many words.

The pervasiveness of the rapture theology among supposedly literate 
people is difficult to reconcile.

People seem to like following a speckled guy with a flute.
