I think those who are left here for the trib are going to be feeling something a bit beyond

As a Protestant that has never much liked the theories presented by Darby and his successors, why did I read that again? Well aside from realizing Catholicism and I agree. Something interesting that the author of the reprinted article didn't point out, is that the word "Rapture" itself never appears in sacred Scripture.

Two "must read" books to combat Protestant "born again," "dispensationalism" errors:

Rapture: The End-Times Error That Leaves the Bible Behind by David B. Currie

Born Fundamentalist, Born Again Catholic by David B. Currie

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Book Description
An exhaustive Catholic critique of premillennial dispensationalism, the "pretrib rapture," the Left Behind phenomenon, and Fundamentalist eschatology, written by a former Fundamentalist/dispensationalist. Examines the historical, biblical, and theological roots of the "left behind" theology and the belief in a rapture event separate from the Second Coming. Also contains chapters on the Book of Revelation, the millennial kingdom, and Catholic eschatology.

A strong, but fair, critique of a dangerous and popular belief, Will Catholics Be "Left Behind"? provides Catholics and Protestants, lay people and clergy, and students and scholars with important answers and information about the roots and meaning of the "Rapture".

Both books are available at Amazon.

The word Trinity isn't in the Bible, but you believe in it?

The word Rapture isn't in the Bible either, but I believe there will come a time when this mortal will become immortal, and this corrupted flesh will become incorruptible! Praise God.[/quote]


Rapture and pre-trib rapture are two different things. I suspect that Tom has the two terms confused. The Church does not refer to the bodily resurrection at the end of time as the rapture but it is not inconsistent with church teaching. Pre-trbi rapture is heresy however. Tom is correct, it is a product of the teachings of Darby.

Probably one of the best laity-level explainations of authority as well as the eucharist with evangelical language. I even typed up the eucharist chapter to give to someone..yes, I typed it up. Took forever
