>>I'm not sure...perhaps right next to "The Sinner's Prayer", altar calls, "the bible alone", "infant dedications" in lieu of infant baptisms, prohibition on dancing or alcohol, and the "invisible church".<<

So you are admitting that the assumption of Mary is not something the apostles taught and that it’s part of “another gospel”! That’s a start.

Now as to your little straw list. Just how does comparing what you believe someone else does wrong make what the RCC teaches right? Are you saying you are content to follow an accursed gospel simply because you believe someone else does as well?

No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm relying on the two thousand years of what Scripture, Tradition and the Magisterium say as to what I believe. Your point was that if the Apostles didn't teach it then it wasn't legitimate and, as you say, "another gospel". I provided an example along your line of reasoning to help refute your point.

Again, no. Talk about a straw man! Only a fool believes two wrongs make a right. And how do you know that the apostles never taught about the Assumption of Mary? There were no relics around to be venerated.
