Did John Darby & the Scofield Bible lie about the Rapture?

NB: I misspoke in calling the Rapture an "American Christian innovation." Darby was British, but I was thinking about its flourishing within American Christianity. Apologies for the error.

And Jesus said unto them, "And whom do you say that I am?"

They replied, "You are the eschatological manifestation of
the ground of our being, the ontological foundation of the
context of our very selfhood revealed."

And Jesus replied, "What?".

John Nelson Darby started everything in England, not America. Look up the Plymouth Brethren movement. It quickly spread to America, though, and the Scofield Reference Bible was a major reason that this teaching caught on in North America.

Tucker Carlson shows his face, immediately knows Dan is in for a doozy!

[duncansonoryan]

John Rich and Tucker Carlson.... Enough said.

Does anybody else take a shot of whiskey everytime Dan says "univocality" ?

Gold star word for the day - tergiversation.

1 Corinthians 15:51-52
King James Version
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

The fact that you have to lie to people in order to get them to believe in your dogma, speaks volumes.

It speaks volumes; not only about your dogma, but also about both you, and about your believers. Smh...

Thanks Dan, having grown up in a fundamentalist evangelical family I’m grateful for this talk. When I was a teenager the book ‘The Late Great Planet Earth’ burst upon the scene and everyone including me read it. My impression was that it was interesting but not persuasive and in the line of the teaching of the Bible that ‘you shall know them by their fruits’ I noted the book stirred up an unholy glee that we the saints were going to heaven and they the unsaved were staying behind and getting their just punishment.

More people need to understand that the rapture is not part of mainstream, mainline Christianity. Coming from a Methodist background, I found that idea - and indeed, almost everything that passes for theology in fundamentalist circles - to be bizarre and unbelievable when I encountered it.

It's not as common as in the USA, but I've been hearing it here in Australia as well. Some people can't even seem to read the Bible without the rapture as the interpretive lens.

[jnobi]

I'm a Darby, it's cool to have my name associated with something historical...wait ....😬

[ubersheizer]

Ugh. Tucker. The poster child for Dunning Kruger.

I would have checked "casual antisemitism" on my bingo card, but for some reason it had already been done about 17 567 851 times.

tergiversation \ter-jiv-er-SAY-shun\ noun. 1 : evasion of straightforward action or clear-cut statement : equivocation. 2 : desertion of a cause, position, party, or faith.

[seconduser]

Tergiversation! ! Whoa! Going to have to look that up.

[icollectstories]

I read a summary of the Biblical basis for the Rapture and was dismayed to find God needed to add more details to Revelations. In particular, God went to the trouble of detailing What would happen without saying When.

[Kenoticrunner]

I recall one Evangelical church service with the song leader ending the set with an energetic rendition of "I'll Fly Away" where then the preacher went into an attempted subtle unveiling his is recent discoveries in NT Wright's "Surprised by Hope." I got the feeling I was the only one in the pews with theological whiplash or even any cognitive dissonance.
