As mentioned in post 31, I am not disrespecting Mary. She was honored by God for a season and she will be talked about with honor until He returns. But Roman Catholic teaching about her being snatched up as was Enoch are mere fancy - and end up disrespecting the Lord with all the spurious none sense that captivate to many.

Why is it mere fancy? If Enoch was loved and revered enough by God that he was allowed to be taken up, uncorrupted, then why not the woman who was created to be the mother of His own Son?

Mary was "The Woman of the Promise" prophesied in the Old Testament. Catholics believe she was conceived without sin, precisely because she was created to be the vessel for the Incarnation of God's Love. In fact, tomorrow is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, honoring Mary. If God loved and revered Mary enough to allow her to bring His Son into the world, why is it such a leap to believe that He might raise her to heaven with Him and Jesus, uncorrupted? And I don't see how honoring Mary is considered disrespectful to Jesus. After all, He honored her as well.
