Is the Protestant version of rapture biblical?

[sshamon72]

Hello, and thank you for giving Catholics this opportunity to deepen and grow strong in our faith. It’s truly a blessing.
My question is on the topic of Rapture. There seems to be this night and day view and interpretation of Rapture between Protestants and Catholics. The Protestant view claims that its interpretation is strictly biblical and is quite literal. Where it states that the good Christians will meet Jesus in the sky and disappear from Earth, when Rapture comes. How is the Catholic version of Rapture interpreted and as it also claims to be biblical?

Thank you,

Hi,

The rapture is NOT biblical. You need to read our tract on the rapture and also the tract on what the early Church taught regarding the Resurrection of the Body:
