And that at the end of her life, her body was assumed into Heaven, where she takes up her "special place of honor," as you put it. See, that's a part of the problem. You are saying that "her body" was resurrected like Christ. I'll grant you her spirit or soul taking up a special place in heaven, but not her physical body. That was reserved for Christ only.

Jesus rose from the dead on His Own Power and Ascended to Heaven On His Own Power. Mary was the recipient of a similar thing, but not as the active agent bringing it about.

I may be mis-reading 2 Kings 2:11, but it sure looks to me as though Elijah was taken -- physically and bodily -- into heaven.
You sure about Jesus being the ONLY person to be taken into heaven with his physical body??
