“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.”
God purposely hid the body of Moses for that very reason you describe. Scripture records it, so it certainly would fit with your notions of Mary and the lack of documentation as to her final disposition.
Interesting is that indeed the scriptures state Moses body was hidden. Israel surely would have made some sort of hommage, alter, or idol of Moses...they were not yet purged from their former beliefs which were often paganish, bad habits take time to break.
But nothing is stated of Mary in that respect...so she certainly wasn’t seen in God’s eyes as worthy to have her body hidden....nor that she assended either...which then pretty much concludes she is in the ground as far as her body is concerned.
