No, I haven't. Catholics are the ones who claim scripture is not the only source for doctrine. Its incumbent on them then to show any other infallible source. We know that infallible scripture shows:

Search the scriptures to determine if what is being taught is true.
If someone teaches something as doctrine that the apostles didn't teach to consider that teacher accursed by God.

So until Catholics can show another infallible source that shows the apostles taught the assumption of Mary we can be sure that the teaching is false and the teacher of that is accursed by God.

The epistles to Timothy leave no room for anything that was not written in the ancient Hebrew scriptures.

Yeshua’s words “it is written,” so often repeated, do the same.

“No, I haven’t. Catholics are the ones who claim scripture is not the only source for doctrine.”

Scripture claims that: http://www.stjohn17v20-21.com/solscr01.htm

“Its incumbent on them then to show any other infallible source. We know that infallible scripture shows:”

This is what Scripture shows: http://www.stjohn17v20-21.com/solscr01.htm

“So until Catholics can show another infallible source that shows the apostles taught the assumption of Mary we can be sure that the teaching is false and the teacher of that is accursed by God.”

That’s not a logical deduction by any means.

1) Can you even tell me what books - according to sola scriptura - are, in fact, inspired?

2) Orthodox Christians - unlike Protestants who base their theology on their whims - believe the Church to be infallible. Thus, according to the standard you yourself are now demanding, the Church’s own teaching on the Assumption of Mary must be accepted by you as an infallible source on the Assumption of Mary. What most anti-Catholics will do to get out of this logical trap of their own creation is to then deny that the Church is infallible. But no sectarian can definitely make such a statement with any accuracy or authority.

Protestantism is a sectarian movement invented by Luther on the cloaca. It has no authority from God, Scripture, or the Church. It is merely a man-made heretical movement.
