"BTW How about that scriptural proof for the bodily assumption of Mary?"

Its right there after the verse that establishes Sola Scriptura and just before the Trinity.

You claim the right to presume based upon extra-Scriptural sources when it suits you, but deny Catholics the right to similarly deduce the Assumption from Scripture.

Are you a Sadducee, who says there is no resurrection of the dead or do you believe that there will be a bodily resurrection of the dead?

Do you believe that no one will be taken up as were both Elijah and Enoch?

Do you believe that there will be a final judgment, but the one called Blessed will not pass the test?

Do you think the Biblical proposition that the mother of the King (Bathsheba) acted with the full authority of the King?

Do you believe that God is bound by the limitations of time and space or deny that He had the power to Assume Mary body and soul?

>> Its right there after the verse that establishes Sola Scriptura and just before the Trinity.<<

"ALL SCRIPTURE is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for DOCTRINE, for REPROOF, for CORRECTION, for INSTRUCTION IN RIGHTEOUSNESS: That the man of GOd may be PERFECT, THOROUGHLY FURNISHED unto all good works." 2 Tim. 3:16-17

. 1 Corinthians 6:11 11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are >b>sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Now can you tell me that if scripture gives us enough that we aresanctified and we are justified by the Spirit of our God why I would need to risk the words of mortal man?

1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

John 10:30 I and my Father are one.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

John 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Now for the bodily assumption of Mary. I can’t seem to find any scripture to prove that. I’m sure you would be so kind as to point to book, chapter and verse as I have done with the other two.

God can do any thing he wants to do...God could have put Mary on a Rolls Royce space shuttle in business class if he wanted to...

Did God do that??? Maybe, eh???
