Is this an accurate summary of the naysayers' position?

Jesus died but rose from the dead = possible.

Jesus ascended bodily into heaven = possible.

Jesus' mother taken bodily into heaven = impossible.

[wtc911]

Jesus' mother taken bodily into heaven = impossible.

IOW....there are some things even God can't do (according to a naysayer). Well, that's news to me.

For this Protestant, it just seems likely that if the Assumption HAD occurred, someone would have noticed. Her assumption would have occurred well before much of the NT was written, and it seems like it would be a significant event...

Not at all. I'd say it goes like this:

Jesus died but rose from the dead = recorded in Scripture.

Jesus ascended bodily into heaven = recorded in Scripture.

Jesus' mother taken bodily into heaven = not recorded in Scripture; not even hinted at in Scripture.
