>> As to your question, are you saying that if it isn't in the Scriptures, it didn't happen?<<

I asked you to show me the veneration of Mary and the bodily assumption of Mary from scripture. Don’t try to dodge the question. Such an important doctrine of the RCC would surely have been written about by the apostles who the RCC says were at her funeral. Transported no less. Catholics hold Mary in high esteem but look at Jesus own words.

Luke 11:27-28 27 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. 28 But he said, Nay rather, (Greek Menounge: nay surely, nay rather) blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

The words spoken to Mary were no different then were spoken to Jael in Judges. In fact, Jael was called blessed above women. Mary was called blessed among women.

Luke 1:28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

Judges 5:24 Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be,

Those words were also spoken of Noah, Moses, and David.
