Well, see that's where you are wrong, because the Bible certainly says that TWO PEOPLE WERE TAKEN UP TO HEAVEN. Period. It does not say that "at least", or anything resembling that. It says what it means. That TWO PEOPLE were taken up to heaven. Here is where the RCC goes off the track, once again. NOT reading God's Word as it SAYS, but reading into it and coming up with NEW ideas. Which is adding to God's Word.

In a contest for “new ideas” I think the 19th Century invention of Dispensationalism is closer to the lead.

Perhaps even newer is the idea that each Christian is tasked with determining his own canon, interpretation, doctrine, etc. etc.

So, if the Bible clearly says that two people were taken up to heaven, it does not contradict Scripture to believe that God also took up Mary.

Catholics add nothing to God’s Word, which is Jesus.

It is protestants who limit God’s Word to what they can or can’t believe He will or can do.
