No Rapture

Well if you weren't aware there was a prediction that the rapture was going to happen yesterday. Surprise, Surprise, it didn't happen.

In the early church and for centuries we have had people predicting the end of the world or the second coming of Jesus. Usually the charismatic zeal that these leaders show are very alluring to those who are longing for hope for the triumph of good. Also people are drawn to these people and predictions because in a world that is very subjective about religious truth they long for some certainty and objective truth about their beliefs. But for me all these predictions (which haven't come true) only prove one thing that being in a christian community separated from the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church leads persons into error about the truth of the Christian Faith. We have to be aware that Jesus in the New Testament tells us that we will not know the time or the hour of His second coming. And that those who give us these dates are misguided souls.

Let us continue to pray for the unity of all Christians that we may all be made One in the Church established, protected, and guided by Jesus Christ...The Holy Roman Catholic Church.
