“Is the parable of the 10 virgins really about preparing for the rapture?

In today’s podcast and post, I’m making an addition to my 2018 series on the real meaning of the parables. Church history and religion have obscured this story by trapping it into a dogma on preparing for a future rapture. By doing that, we’ve missed a lot.

Join me now as we see beyond our protests and expose the path of peace which remains largely unbelieved.

347-UNIVERSE

“Is the Universe an unintelligent, random, amalgamation of elements and time as science tells us it is? What about those who ascribe some form of spirituality to the Universe?
