So why don’t you pray for Enoch or Elijah to intercede for you? They are there bodily because God’s Word EXPLICITY says so. Please spare me your IMPLICIT reading between the Scripture lines.

We can easily pray to Enoch or Elijah to intercede for us. They are both saints in heaven. Elijah is revered as the spiritual Father and traditional founder of the Carmelite Order.

By the way, you asked for implicit Scripture on the Assumption of Mary, and I gave it to you, as per your request. Now you ask me to “spare” you and you proceed to dismiss it out-of-hand? That’s very weak.

HOW do you get to this point? To whom I pray and how and why is not a part of this discussion.

ONCE AGAIN jump to something else, throw a bomb then duck and run. PITIFUL attempt to dodge rather than man up and admit the inability to argue a validly challenged point YOU made.

Some here may buy it and offer you kudos magnified to the extreme font degree and in wonderfully glorious color , but I see it for what it is and I am not impressed by it nor do I care to continue with it.

I have offered you honest debate, within the parameters you set, using Scripture as best I understand it. Since the same courtesy and respect is not granted me, I will have to stop here.
