Will you be celebrating Easter, as well as celebrating the Assumption of Mary into heaven bodily?
3/28/2015 | Laissez-Faire Capitalist

On Easter Day (April 5th, 2015), faithful Christians will celebrate the resurrection of Jesus bodily from death.

Later on this year, faithful Christians will also (on August 15th, 2015) celebrate the resurrection of Mary the mother of Jesus (before her body could see decay) and her Assumption into heaven.

With the shows on CNN (Finding Jesus: Faith, Fact and Forgery) and O'Reilly's book, "Killing Jesus" on television (both this Sunday), there seems to be an uptick in the interest on the life of Jesus, the Apostles and early followers of Jesus - as well as Mary's role, too.

Is that in the Bible, because I do not recall seeing it?

The Ressurction of Christ, yes. Assumption of Mary bodily into Heaven. No.

Correct spelling of Resurrection

Which Bible?

There are at least 3 Bibles - Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Coptic. Some say there is a fourth Bible (Greek Orthodox).

And there have been two Protestant versions, one with the Deuterocanonical books and the ones now without. Which Protestant Bible should we go by? The earliest and best Protestant Bible has the Deuterocanonical books.

It all comes down to faith. There is no proof that Jesus or Mary rose from the dead, and all the arguments against either are meaningless because the burden of proof rests with those who believe anything to prove it.

Why not?

It all comes down to faith and each Christian has faith.

Read post #7 from me if you would. Thanks.

Good.

Faith is a good thing, regardless of whether it is Protestant faith, Catholic faith, Eastern Orthodox faith or Coptic Christian faith in God.

Of course not...that's a catholic thing...

I will be celebrating ‘the Resurrection’ of the Biblical Jesus Christ which is a Christian Celebration.

Resurrection of Mary? That’s not biblical.

Really don't need to read beyond this.

There's a lot of "assumption" going on to believe this tripe.

You know what the say about when you assume something.

I didn't say "proof" did I? Is there any reference to the assumption of Mary, the mother of Jesus, in any Bible that you are aware of? That was my question, pure and simple.

Another attempt to steer FR away from a website dedicated to saving our Constitution; into a website to endlessly debate religious topics.

My last memory form the Bible of Mary was when Jesus put Mary in the hands of one of the Disciples. Am I wrong?

In the case of Jesus, there is the testimony of witnesses.

You do know that the Catholic Church does not teach the Bible alone
