How many times are you going to deflect from answering that question? Anyway, because if it isn’t true it’s a false teaching. If a false teaching is such a large part of the RCC religion it’s serious. Jesus didn’t teach it, the Apostles didn’t teach it so I believe it is a false teaching. Scripture is very plain how to deal with those who teach heresies.
2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
2 Corinthians 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
It’s not good enough to use as justification for a teaching that “it could have been” or “others were so we are going to say she was also”. If the veneration of Mary was as important as it is to the RCC surely Jesus and the Apostles would have taught it and written to make sure there was no misunderstanding.
And yet...Mary's bodily assumption is never mentioned.
THAT'S why it's important. If He thought Enoch and Elijah important enough to mention, why would He not have mentioned Mary, Queen of Heaven and Earth, Co-Redeemer, Mediatress of all Grace, etc., etc.??
And if it is shown to be true? Will you then become Catholic, as so many have?
Interesting. And who do we know that INSISTS that they have Apostolic Succession???
