If you noticed I did agree that I used the wrong word. Playing word semantics however doesn’t release you from proving your contention that the “assumption” of Mary is based in scripture. I will remind you that often in scripture we are admonished and encouraged to search scripture to see if what the “teachers” teach is true.
Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
Then there are Jesus words about how he felt about tradition not being proven by scripture.
Mark 7:8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. 9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
There are no glowing endorsement of tradition not backed by scripture from Him.
You still haven’t addressed the scriptural basis for either the assumption of Mary or praying to people who are no longer living. The adult response would be to do that forthwith if it’s possible wouldn’t it?
Please quote my exact words for which you are taking me to task.
Semantics matter.
