Moving on, then, is there a particular passage in Scripture that says that Mary died?

Why don't you worship Joseph, along with Mary? No particular passage reported Joseph's death. Is this proof God took him bodily into heaven?

The only two Biblical accounts of God taking a person into heaven involve Enoch and Elijah. An epistle reported that Michael disputed with Satan over Moses' body. Michael rebuked Satan in Jesus' name. The Bible reports that Moses was present during Jesus' transfiguration.

So, when are you going to build that shrine to Jimmy Hoffa? Afterall, there's no body. Where's the account of his death, Biblical or otherwise?

I truly believe you both are asking sincere questions.

I think you both have agreed in your recent posts that there are things left unstated by the Bible.

You may sincerely believe that Catholics take things too far, or teach distortions or worse, but I urge you to consider what Catholics themselves teach, which is that truly important questions left unanswered in the Bible may need to be addressed in unambiguous teaching so that Christians will be edified rather than led astray.
