Please show me where the word “rapture” is in the Bible.

And why is that important?

Because if it s not in Scripture, then you don't have to believe it? It's not real doctrine? It's not true?

These words/phrases are not found in the Bible either.

Then that must mean that these things are not Scriptural either.

trinity

catholic

pope

eucharist

sacraments

annulment

assumption

immaculate conception

mass

purgatory

magisterium

infallible

confirmation

crucifix

rosary

mortal sin

venial sin

perpetual virginity

apostolic succession

indulgences

hyperdulia

catechism

real presence

transubstantiation

liturgy

free will

holy water

monstrance

sacred tradition

apostolic succession

Benefactress

Mediatrix

Queen of Heaven

Mother of God

beatific vision

invincible ignorance

Divine Office

guardian angel

Corporal Works of Mercy

Petrine authority

infallible

heresy

Would you really like to go there and use that as an argument against the doctrine of the rapture?

Excellent insight! To be remembered, and displayed as needed in training spiritual babes for the conflicts to come.

A-hem....”Queen of Heaven” IS in the Bible (Jeremiah 7:18; 44:17-19; 25), but it’s sure NOT talking about Mary!

Other than that, good point! Something not being Biblical has never hindered Catholicism in her development of doctrine.
