Subject: John Nelson Darby |
Bible Note: Greetings Elijah! I checked out the link you provided. However, I wanted to correct a misstatment in your post. John Nelson Darby did not originate the doctrine of the Rapture. He orginated the current dispensational view of the rapture. The doctrine of the Rapture has a long history. First of all, it is found in the Bible, even though the term 'rapture' is not used. Secondly, writers from the 1st and 2nd centuries discuss the doctrine of the Rapture in their writings. The only thing that has changed over the years is how the Rapture was understood or explained, the doctrine itself has been around since the early church. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
