The Rapture Theory Debunked

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Aug 23, 2014

The Rapture Theory has been adopted by many Christians as being sound doctrine. In this study, we examine the subject by noting that this subject was created by taking texts out of context and ignoring plain statements of Scripture.
