Kindly follow the thread of our conversation. Feel free to point out a statement that I made in response to which you then imposed a burden of proof on me that I did not later meet.

I'm not saying, "if the Bible didn't say it, it didn't happen," although that appears to be the position of those who assert that Mary could not have been assumed into heaven.

The fact is, Scripture tells us that Moses died. Scripture does not tell us that Mary did. No position that you take will change that.

Then why do Catholics “assume” Mary was “assumed”?

It is best to leave it silent, as the Bible did.

Of course, that means a major leg of Catholic dogma is lost, but I don’t care.

Scripture doesn't tell us about the deaths of millions of people living at the time it was written, so they must not have died.

Since God surely knows the hearts and minds of men I do think in his wisdom the account of Marys death was purposely eliminated.....as is little record of Mary in the scripture. But as is usual people in religious circles can take a plank of wood and somehow make it into something more than it is....creating something out of nothing more than in reality it is.
