Are you trying to say that you could claim anything and if I can’t prove from scripture that it’s not true you would make it part of your faith? How preposterous is that?

I wasn’t the one who “added to scripture”. You and the RCC added that to scripture so need to show proof. After all, you did say: “absolutely, Sacred Tradition must be in accord with Sacred Scriptures and Sacred Scriptures had to be in accord with Sacred Tradition in order for the Church to include the book in the canon.”

you and i both agree Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture must not contradict each other to be true. so, show me where the Scriptures say Mary wasn’t assumed. or if you can’t show me from Scripture, show me where Mary’s grave is?

Preposterous indeed.

The burden of proof is on the one making the claim. Until it's backed up by fact, it's merely opinion and nobody is obligated to believe any random statement someone makes just on their say so.

If anyone wants to assert that Mary was assumed, they have to PROVE that it happened. It is not truth just because it was uttered by someone who wished it to be so and nobody is obligated to believe someone else's flights of fancy.
