No, I call this a refutation of your ridiculous assertion that "the 'revelation' of the Bodily Assumption Of Mary was unknown to us for nearly 2,000 years."
If it were patently obvious, it wouldn't have taken nearly 2,000 years for the Church to recognize it clearly.
Our whole discussion boils down to one of authority. You put all authority to Scripture alone... but then how can you have One Body of Christ when so many disagree on what is plainly written?
I put my trust in the Church Christ founded to be the "bulwark and pillar of truth" entrusted to teach the principalities. Under her tutelage and motherly care, we have One Body.
I regard most of your reply as pious pap. Do you speak that way in your real life?
This is my real life and yes, I do. I'm sorry my language puts you off.
You have sold your will and intellect to the "Magisterium". I have chosen to think for myself. We have nothing further to discuss.
That's easy...First, it is plainly written intellectually but is far deeper spiritually...But when you say 'plainly written', you mean when you take a verse or two out of a chapter and ignore the other salient verses...
You don't have to agree with what the Scriptures say to be a member of Jesus' body...With one exception...
That's why we are sure there are some Catholics as well as Methodists, Baptists, etc. who are in the Body of Christ, the church...
We don't have to agree on speaking in tongues, or whether there is a pre-trib Rapture or a post-trib Rapture or whether there is a Rapture at all...All we have to know is how to get saved...
