> Will you be surprised if you get to heaven and Mary is already there in body?
I believe we may all be surprised who is accepted into the Kingdom of Heaven, and who is turned away: we are told as much by Our Lord. However, I have no doubts that Mary will be there in body, as will Christ.
> Will that be fact enough for you.
When the time comes, it will, and I hope that I am there to see it.
"I say again, I have no interest in debating the rights-or-wrongs of the Assumption with you,"
You seem to be a very, very confused person.
Not once in any of my previous posts did I ever discuss or ever mention the Assumption.
Show me in any of my posts where I discussed the Assumption with you or anyone else !!
"or my rationale for being so,."
So you’re saying you can make unsubstantiated claims and no one has the right to question you ??
"or to be preached at, thankyou"
Oh you can be assured if you come into the Religion Forum and say that Jesus will bless a false teaching, I or someone else will be giving you Jesus words regarding the matter.
"I do not want your brand of religion"
I don’t have a brand of religion. Jesus dislikes religion.
I'm merely a Christian, a follower of Christ.
"You are unfamiliar with Herodotus and Hippocleides: perhaps you need to read wider."
No thanks. I put my faith in Jesus, the Son of God, and God Himself.
Not into any mere mortal man.
One question for you ....
Is your faith in Hippocleides and Herodotus ??
That’s the second time you’ve mentioned Hippocleides.
Wikipedia says Hippocleides was a drunk who stood on his head at a Greek party.
My goodness.
I think it’s time you define to all of us exactly what your faith or religion is.
I’ll betcha Freepers would be curious as to what it is.

Thank you !!
