Well, let us listen to the prophet CynicalBear then.

Questions, oh holy and all knowing CynicalBear:

What Councils of the Church should we pay attention to?

What Creeds enunciated by the ancient Church should we pay attention to?

What particular translation of the Bible must we study?

What denominations are the closest to what you are certain is the True Church?

What makes you certain you are right?

I won't speak for Cynical Bear, but the "Creeds enunciated by the ancient Church" that I would pay attention to are the creeds that speak of the Assumption of Mary. You know, like the Apostle's Creed or the Nicene Creed, or any other accepted creeds of the early church. After all, they were closest in time to the event. So I'm CERTAIN they would have included it in their creeds. Especially in light of the fact that it is one of those doctrines a Catholic MUST believe for salvation.

Why make this thread about another poster? Either stick to the subject or refrain from sarcastic name calling - it doesn’t help your cause.
