Here is your statement again.

>> In other words, belief in the bodily Assumption of Mary into heaven dates all the way back to the Apostles<<

I asked you to show where in scripture that apostles taught. Or are you going to show that the apostles taught that in some other way?

>> If it is true that all religious knowledge must be in Scripture, then Scripture must teach that proposition.<<

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.<<

Obviously Paul taught that we should “check the scripture” to see if what is taught is truth. Can you show somewhere that they said to check something else? Do I need to post all the times Jesus said “it is written”?

“Or are you going to show that the apostles taught that in some other way?”

If he can, I’d like to see that. The best I’ve seen is third-hand accounts from several centuries after the time of the apostles.
