FIRST of all you would need to find where the Catholic Church has EVER suggested that the Blessed Mother ascended into Heaven.

lolol. Check the paintings posted this morning. And all the many RC statements that Mary's supposed bodily assumption into heaven is dogma of the RCC.

THEN you would have to deal with the reality that not all Protestants believe as you do. There are a great many Protestants who actually recognize the Assumption/Dormition of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Name them. Name all those Protestants who believe in the dogma of the Assumption of Mary.

Obviously there are some bigots who believe that denial of Marian teachings is a tenet of Protestantism, but they would be wrong.

Protestants deny Rome's Marian teaching. Period.

But you still haven't made any case that sinlessness equates divinity.

Since Scripture tells us all men are sinners and there is only one Christ who is sinless, it doesn't take a church council to understand that sinlessness is a divine attribute of Jesus Christ alone.

Or does your sect believe that Adam and Eve were divine before the Fall?

Adam and Eve were born with a sin nature, just like the rest of humanity. And thus, they sinned. Just like the rest of us.

There are no exceptions, except in Rome's blasphemous fiction.

Where does Scripture say that this didn't happen?

LOLOL. Thanks for yet another great example of Roman Catholic exegesis, such as it is. No one has to prove something "didn't happen." Men are called to prove what "did happen."

And Mary's assumption into heaven bodily did not happen.

INDEED. INDEED.

I enjoy honey . . . even knowing what part of the insect’s anatomy it flows from.

Some pretenders seem to think that their fantasized theological dance through

the

Vatican’s Alice In Wonderland School of Theology and Reality Mangling

produces similar goodies.

I guess their noses are broken.

"Thanks for yet another great example of Roman Catholic exegesis, such as it is."

The Catholic practice of means that we look within Scripture for its meaning. This is in stark contrast with Calvinism which relies on "eisegesis">

Eisegesis is the approach to Bible interpretation where the interpreter tries to "force" the Bible to mean something that fits their preexisting belief or understanding of a particular issue or doctrine. Those who interpret the Bible this way are usually not willing to let the Bible speak for itself and or to entertain that there may possible be another way to look at it or interpret it. They start off with the upfront goal of trying to prove a point they already believe in, and everything they read and interpret is filtered through that paradigm. Stated another way, they engage in what the Bible refers to as "private interpretation".
