>>Remember EVERYTHING good and true that prots know about God has come from the Catholic Church.<<

1 Corinthians 2:12 What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us.

Trying to take credit away from God is not going to turn out well for Catholics.

1 John 2:27 As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit--just as it has taught you, remain in him.

Evidently Catholics disagree with the Holy Spirit.

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.

Could you show where the assumption of Mary is taught by the apostles in scripture?

I am sorry and apologize for breaking my own rule about giving prots a springboard for rants, tantrums, hissy fits, and generally ignorant comments.

“Could you show where the assumption of Mary is taught by the apostles in scripture? ...”

Revelation 11:19 - 12:21. St. John actually witnessed Mary in Heaven when He was in the spirit writing the apocalypse.

“evidently Catholics disagree with the Holy Spirit...”

These are the statements that prove that non Catholics are unqualified to judge Catholics becase:

Acts 17:11 tells us to search the scriptures daily which Catholics do during daily mass at minimum - it does NOT say search the scriptures only. Catholic doctrine is not at variance with Acts 17:11.

Oral traditions are perfectly acceptable and the bible says this:

Acts: 2:42 And they were perservering in the doctrine of the apostles, and in the communication of the breaking of the bread (liturgy of the eucharist), and the prayers (liturgy of the word and/or the consecration prayers). The doctrine, prayers, and breaking bread referred to IS tradition and it is also written down.

Throughout history the Word of God was always transmitted orally and Jesus nor the early Christians changed the Jewish practice. The bible does NOT say that oral tradition stopped after parts of the bible were written down.

The assumption is a sacred tradition handed on directly from the early Christians who witnessed it.

Protestant doctrines are handed on orally; sola scriptura is not found in the bible and neither is the trinity; also the altar call - there are protestant traditions that started much later and are now being handed down.
