Seems like the event “Queen of Heaven being assumed” and seated at the right hand of Christ would be a little more important of an event than Enoch being assumed; therefore it should be one of the major events in the book of Acts.

But it is not. She is mentioned a few times in the Gospels, once in Acts, and nowhere in the epistles. Seems like if Peter is subject to her authority he would have said something in any one of his epistles. If Paul had a vision of Christ, would he have also seen Mary at his side ... but nothing. James, Jude, nothing ... then there is John ... who became her son at the cross ... he saw a vision of Christ on the throne ... no Mary to be found.

Without Biblical evidence there can be only one conclusion ... Mariology is false doctrine propogated by false teachers whose purpose is to mystify Christian soteriology into another gospel.

The first significant scripture about Mary, Luke 1:28, in the traditional translation “Hail Mary full of grace,” echoes John 1:14, “full of grace and truth.” Only Jesus was God or “Truth” but Mary was also “full of Grace,” sinless. And does not Luke 1:45-55 indicate something special, Mary being completely humble, yet stating that because “the Almighty has done great things for me,” that “all generations will call me blessed.” Of course, many Protestants go against scripture by calling her things far less than “blessed,” but it is there in scripture.

Mary was with Christ at his first miracle Cana, and at the foot of the Cross when He told John, ”behold your mother,” and Mary, “behold your Son,” giving her a significant place in the early Church indeed. Mary IS in Revelation, “The woman clothed with the sun.” Rev. 12:1 has always been identified with Mary until the Protestant reformation and many of the original reformers still agreed this passage referred to Mary. Mary wasn’t necessarily assumed into heaven before Paul died (so it wouldn’t have made it in the early New Testament books). But tradition has always held it to be true. As St. John said, “if everything Jesus did [let alone Mary or the Apostles] had said or done was written down, the whole world would not have room for the books (John 21:25). On the one hand you argue Sola Scriptura about Mary (when every denomination has rituals NOT recorded in the Bible) and on the other you ignore the extremely significant things (or their traditional interpretations) written in the Bible about this holy and humble woman, a woman who stayed in the background but helped Jesus every step of the way by nurturing, prayer, or just having the courage (example: at the foot of the cross) to be there.

Yep...not to mention when He arose you’d think his mother would have been one of the first to know...but that didn’t happen.....

I think when we get to meet Mary she’s going to be quite disgusted with those who elevated her to such a place of honor equal if not over her son. It’s a good thing she’s with God and doesn’t see all this.
