End Times

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Catholic : One Thread

Hullo everyone. I belong to a Christian forum and am one of the few Catholics who post regularly on there. One subject which comes up quite frequently is the 'rapture' and the end times prophecies. Some people really believe that many of us will be caught up in the air with Jesus.....etc (I am sure you know better than I). I was wondering what the Catholic teaching is on this as it is all new to me.

Thank you.

Hi Lyn,

I think you'll get a lot of good infor here. This has been discussed on this board before.

You may want to also check out the Catholic.com tract on the Rapture. That site also has a lot of good apologetics material that can help you out in your discussions and in witnessing to your faith.

Welcome!

I think you'll find that its not just unbiblical, but also a relatively recent doctrine in Christianity. There are many Protestants who also recognize these facts.

Read The Rapture Trap by Paul Thigpen, a well-known religious historian and a convert to Catholicism.
