Deceptive "Rapture" Doctrine Dupes Millions - How's That News?

From Christian Newswire Monday April 26, 2010
Oh the irony is strong with this one.  Steve Wohlberg, TV producer, radio host and bestselling author explains, "Look carefully, all New Testament verses quoted to promote the secret rapture doctrine--1 Thess. 4:17; 1 Cor. 15:52; Matt. 24:40—don't teach it at all. They really apply to the highly visible, loud, earthshaking Second Coming of Jesus Christ, and not to the novel and unbiblical notion of 'disappearing Christians' seven years before the end."
The "The Rapture" is the concept where millions of Christians believe that they will fly up into the sky to be taken to heaven in Jesus' arms.  Wohlberg disputes this stating that it has no Biblical support and then explains the history of The Rapture and how it became a Christian meme.
Of course Wohlberg is absolutely correct on this matter.  Where Wohlberg is wrong, is that he doesn't seem to understand the the whole idea of a divine Jesus and his Second Coming (weather permitting) is also complete fantasy.
Wohlberg has written a book with words and everything, more details here.
