"For even though her God-bearing body tasted death, it did not undergo corruption"

[Antoninus]

The only question is who gets bumped from the Trinity to make room. Odds are the old holy ghost will bite the dust.

But the word "trinity" is found nowhere in Sacred Scripture either. Yet you use it...

[ifinnegan]

“the Assumption was dogmatically defined in 1950 “

1950? What?

Shouldn’t this post be in Catholic Caucus?

This stuff that equates Mary with Jesus is flame bait, it would seem.

[Mom MD]

Nope. They will just make it a foursome. In fact they already have by declaring Mary the spouse of the Holy Spirit and co redemptrix with Christ among the other blasphemous titles the RCC likes to give her

[Mom MD]

That’s the point. Then the Catholics call those who disagree with them haters and run to the mods.....

[Antoninus]

This stuff that equates Mary with Jesus is flame bait, it would seem.

Only flame bait for those who don't care to understand where Catholic theological teachings originate. Rather, it should be seen as an explanation by Catholics of the history behind one of their doctrines to those who might be wondering.

It is particularly applicable on the feast day which is today ~ August 15.

Did you just ask a dead person to pray for you? Be gone heathen, that directly violates God’s holy word.

You can no more prove Mary is dead

than prove Jeffery Epstein is dead.

Me thinks it's you that is the heathen...

You should look into the meaning of

"You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain."

“ in the late 6th century AD:”

Totally made up hundreds of years after the death of the Apostles, to make Mary a demigoddess.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

“and it was, because of her, that God became Man.”

In the same way that Israel crossed the Red Sea because of the staff Moses raised.

[ifinnegan]

“it was, because of her, that God became Man”

It certainly wasn’t because of her. It was because of God who so loved the world.

God chose Mary for His purposes.

[Bulwyf]

You may adhere to your man made religion that had murdered millions of Christians, I will follow Christ and his word. Good day.

[sauropod]

...and it was, because of her, that God became Man.

Not true. God became man because it was God's plan, not because of Mary.

[smvoice]

So why did she die? It’s the wages of sin that causes us to die. The RCC claims she was sinless..??

[Alberta's Child]

So one person conjectered 600 years after Christ about what might have happened to Mary and this becomes a whole doctrinal point of view?

Actually, no.

The doctrine of the Assumption is built on the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception. If Mary was conceived without original sin, then she would not have suffered the effects of sin and death that were only an element of human existence as a result of original sin. Unlike all the other saints whose souls remain separated from their physical bodies until the Last Judgment, her soul would remain joined to a glorified body much like we read about Jesus Christ in the Gospels after his Resurrection.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

The doctrine of the Assumption is built on the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception.

Also made up and not stated in Scripture...

[ealgeone]

Error begetting error. It leads the Roman Catholic to believe in apparitions making false claims.

[Zuriel]

Wow!!! When did they pose for that portrait??

Ping! to the Angel Michael (who isn't a saint),

I note that a FREEPER has mistakenly assumed you can hear prayers, despite Scripture not saying we are to pray to anyone but God.

Since you didn't hear this, I thought I'd give you a ping to see what's happening down here.

Assuming you are a secret FReeper,

“She was Assumed Body and Soul into heaven because she carried His living cells in her body, as all mothers carry stem cells of their children.”

There are a lot of things not stated in Scripture. And?
