You keep asking questions but denying the scripture I give in favor of conjecture.

I deny your interpretation of it.

Bottom line; the teachers of “dogma” that the apostles didn’t teach are considered accursed by God. Follow them at your own risk.

I have seen no proof they did not teach it. I will give you that there is no line in Scripture that states "Mary's body was assumed into Heaven." However, this does not constitute proof they did not teach it, either indirectly (as we claim concerning Rev. 12) or directly through Sacred Tradition, which we believe comes from the Apostles. The other possibility is that they did not teach it, but it can be established on the basis of other dogma; this would be the Sacred Magisterium. This leaves open the question of whether this is another Gospel. From our perspective it is not, since the Assumption is ultimately dependent on Christ Crucified, Resurrected, and Ascended.

Base your eternal destination on conjecture if you wish. Don’t come preaching conjecture and not expect the sword of truth which is the word of God.
