That is in no way any implicit Scripture supporting the Assumption of Mary.

That’s rationalization if there ever was any.

Just because one thing happened, doesn’t mean that it had to or did happen to Mary.

INDEED.

However, when rationalizations, pseudo-logic etc. are all a system has to support UNBIBLICAL hideousness . . . that’s all it has!

Just because Enoch and Elijah are the only two people EXPLICITLY mentioned in the Bible that were assumed into heaven does not mean that it could not have happened to others.

Unless, of course, you believe that EVERYTHING in the Christian faith is EXPLICITLY mentioned in the Bible. In that case, we will never reach an agreement on the possibility of Mary’s Assumption.

You’re right, of course, in denying that just because Enoch and Elijah were assumed into heaven, then the same thing HAD to happen to Mary. That doesn’t necessarily follow. I’ll agree with you there.

However, I very much disagree with your denial of any IMPLICIT Scripture on the Assumption. It’s right there, as I copied and pasted it for you from http://scripturecatholic.com
