Matthew 24:40-42 Is NOT a Bible Verse That Supports the Rapture - If you grew up evangelical, you’ve likely heard this Bible verse used to support a secret rapture: “Then two will be in the field; one will be taken and one will be left” (Matthew 24:40-42). Scary, right? But this verse, often quoted out of context, actually means the opposite: you want to be left behind. Matthew 24:37-42 compares the end times to the days of Noah. In Noah’s time, those “taken” were swept away by the flood—judged and destroyed. The ones “left behind” survived. This isn’t about a secret rapture; it’s about judgment. Luke 17:37 reinforces this. When asked about those taken, Jesus says, “Where the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.” Doesn’t sound good for the taken, does it? The rapture concept only emerged in the 19th century. Historical context and Jesus’ own words show that those left behind inherit the Earth (Matthew 25:41-46). Perfect love casts out fear, so let’s study Scripture in context and leave fear-based theology behind. #bible #bibleverses #christianhistory #kenarrington #deconstruction #creatorsearchinsights

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 is NOT a Bible verse about the Rapture. What happens when you realize a verse used to support “the rapture” isn’t about the rapture at all? In 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17, Paul writes about meeting the Lord in the air. At a modern glance, it seems to suggest a rapture, where believers are taken away from Earth. This view, popularized in the 1830s by John Darby, has shaped many interpretations. But in the first-century Greco-Roman context, Paul’s audience—likely Gentiles in Thessalonica—would have understood this very differently. They were familiar with the practice of going out to meet a returning king or emperor and escorting him back into the city. The word “apantēsis” means a welcoming delegation, not a departure. When Paul says we’ll meet the Lord in the air, they would envision a victorious return, not escape from Earth. This echoes the Gospels, where people welcomed Jesus into Jerusalem as a king. Paul’s message is clear: we’ll greet Christ and return with Him, as He establishes His reign on Earth. This isn’t about leaving creation, but about God’s kingdom fully coming. #christianhistory #bible #rapture #deconstruction #kenarrington #creatorsearchinsights

When the “Pagans” Found Jesus First - It’s fascinating that pagan astrologers—the Magi—were the first to seek, worship, and protect Jesus, according to Matthew’s Gospel. These outsiders, guided by faith and wonder, recognized the true King, while Herod, a ruler who built a temple for God’s glory and controlled the priesthood, sought to destroy Him. The contrast is profound: those labeled “outsiders” followed the star, believed the promise, and acted in faith, offering gifts and defying a tyrant to save Jesus. Meanwhile, the proclaimed “King of the Jews” and the religious elite, blinded by fear and control, missed the very Savior they claimed to serve. This part of the Christmas story is stunning—it shatters expectations. It reminds us that God’s grace extends beyond boundaries we create. His kingdom is for the unexpected, the humble, and the seekers. Herod warns us of pride’s blinding power, while the Magi show us how faith and wonder lead to the Light of the World. The miracle of Christmas is for all who follow, wonder, and believe. #christmascontent #christian #magi #kenarrington #creatorsearchinsights

About that TimTok ban…Well, here’s the deal with the TikTok ban: no one really knows what’s going to happen. What we do know is that TikTok won’t disappear on January 19th. You won’t be able to download or update it from app stores in the U.S. after that, but you can still use it—for a while. Over time, without updates, the app will become clunky and eventually unusable. It’s a slow fade, not an immediate blackout. Could the Supreme Court step in? Maybe, but they’re not obligated to. Could Biden file a 90-day extension if TikTok works on a sale? Sure, but does he really care? And even if a new administration steps in, their options are limited. TikTok probably has backup plans, but ultimately, this is out of our hands. For me, TikTok has been a home for my unique content, and I’ve loved sharing this space with you. If this chapter ends, I’ll adapt—maybe longer videos, on-location content, or emails straight to your inbox. Miracles happen, but when one chapter closes, another begins. God bless, and see you on the journey ahead. #tiktokban #tiktokban2025 #kenarrington

Mary Magdalene, Jesus, and a Particular “Gospel” - Discovered in 1896 as part of the Berlin Codex, the Gospel of Mary offers a fascinating glimpse into early Christian thought. Fragments suggest it circulated by the late 2nd or early 3rd century, but it wasn’t written by Mary herself. Instead, her name was likely used to lend credibility, a common practice in ancient texts. Does it challenge traditional views? Certainly. The Gospel of Mary highlights Mary’s prominent role among the disciples, portraying her as a spiritual leader who shares profound teachings from Jesus. It’s not a traditional gospel—there’s no birth, death, or resurrection narrative. Instead, it focuses on dialogue, secret teachings, and Mary’s vision of the soul’s ascent. While some claim it hints at a deeper relationship between Mary Magdalene and Jesus, the text itself does not suggest she was his wife or romantic partner. Most scholars agree it refers to Mary Magdalene, given her prominence in other Gnostic writings. Why wasn’t it included in the Bible? Likely because it wasn’t widely used in mainstream churches and leaned toward Gnostic theology, emphasizing spiritual knowledge over the death and resurrection of Jesus. The Gospel of Mary reminds us that early Christianity was diverse and dynamic, raising important questions about faith, authority, and the role of women in the church. #maryandjesus #christian #gospelofmary #kenarrington #creatorsearchinsights

When Someone Quotes Revelation 22:19 About the Bible … It Doesn’t Prove What They Think It Does - Let’s clear up a common misunderstanding of Revelation 22:18-19, often quoted as a warning about adding to or removing from the Bible. This “Bible quote” is actually about the Book of Revelation itself—not the entire Bible, which didn’t exist as a compiled canon when John wrote these words (around 70-100 AD). Revelation was a stand-alone prophecy, centuries before a final biblical canon was established. Applying this verse to the whole Bible ignores history. By the same logic, Deuteronomy 4:2’s similar warning would rule out every book written after Moses—including much of the Old Testament, the Gospels, and Paul’s letters. And let’s be honest—Protestants removed books from the Bible (like parts of the Apocrypha) during the Reformation. Yet, Revelation 22:19 is still misused to argue against any variations in biblical translations or canon traditions. #biblequote #biblequotes #christian #kenarrington #creatorsearchinsights

Words from Christian History ( 1 and Clement & the Complete 100 Book Apocrypha) - Christian history reminds us that humanity’s struggles—pride, fear, and division—were then as they are now, despite cultural changes. Take Clement of Rome, an early leader traditionally seen as the fourth bishop after Peter. Writings like 1 Clement and 2 Clement, attributed to him, highlight the disconnect between speaking truth and living it. Though historians debate their authorship, these letters reveal the early church’s struggles and hopes. In 2 Clement 13, we read: “When pagans hear the oracles of God, they marvel. But when they see our actions unworthy of the words we speak, they turn to blasphemy.” The charge? Hypocrisy. The command to “love your enemies” has been more slogan than practice, both then and now. This isn’t just history; it’s personal. Living out genuine love—patient, generous, and kind—challenges us beyond sermons and Bible verses. Early Christian writings, like those found in the Complete 100 Book Apocrypha, remind us that the Good News isn’t just words but a call to transformation. So, what will people see when they encounter you today? #christianhistory #clementofrome #christian #kenarrington #creatorsearchinsights

Letting the Bible Say What It Says … and the Danger Therein - Saying, “We should just let the Bible say what it says,” often masks a refusal to question personal interpretations shaped by tradition or bias. The Bible isn’t a single book, but a library of texts written across 1,000+ years by diverse cultures with vastly different worldviews. Its original languages—Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek—are far removed from modern English, and its genres range from poetry to apocalyptic visions. Claiming a literal, surface-level reading of an English translation as “truth” ignores historical and cultural contexts, leading to misinterpretations and false teachings. The Bible reflects an evolving understanding of God, culminating in Jesus, who redefined assumptions about the Father. To respect the Bible’s depth, we must approach it with humility, engaging its historical, linguistic, and cultural layers. True faith grows when we allow the Bible to shape us, not the other way around. #howtoreadthebible #christianhistory #biblehistory #kenarrington #creatorsearchinsights

The Gospel is NOT a Code to Crack. If you find yourself twisting Scripture, using disconnected verses to justify your own doctrinal stance while ignoring their historical and cultural meanings, you might want to reconsider if that’s really the Gospel you’re presenting. The Gospel isn’t a secret code or a puzzle requiring spiritual acrobatics to justify personal bias. It’s not about pulling verses out of context or building elaborate conspiracies. No, the Gospel is simple. It’s the Good News that God has drawn near, revealed in Christ, offering us freedom and new life. It’s a message so clear a child can understand: Jesus loves you, Christ died and rose again, and we are invited into something beautiful—life in Him. So if you’re focused on obscure verses and neglecting the core truth of the Gospel, pause. The Gospel is about love—love of God and love of neighbor. Without this, everything else is just noise. Keep the Gospel the main thing. #gospel #gospelmessage #christianity #kenarrington #deconstruction #creatorsearchinsights
