The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary CUF
Issue: What does the Church teach concerning the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary?
Response: The teaching is aptly summarized in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 974:
The Most Blessed Virgin Mary, when the course of her earthly life was completed, was taken up [assumed] body and soul into the glory of heaven, where she already shares in the glory of her Sons Resurrection, anticipating the resurrection of all members of His Body.

If one has no need to practice logic when determining what to ‘believe’; it shows up badly when it IS attempted.
I think you understand only the words that fit your narrative, but you do not seem to fully understand or agree with the teachings of Rome and it's church.
Again your comments may make you feel good and you may firmly believe them, but they are in error if not in agreement with the teachings of Jesus and the Catholic Church.

Ebenezer; wake up and hear the chains!
A simple YES or NO to you:
Do YOU 'accept' the TEACHING words of YOUR chosen religion; found in #146.
(Remember; it's either YES or NO...)
And what UNWRITTEN things are NECESSARY for salvation?
Are YOU reading CB's mind; or merely putting WORDS into his mouth?
Other wise, YOU have called ALL protestants FOOLS for believing the (as Rome has determined) the FALSE teachings of Protestantism.
To the limited Catholic mind; this probably seems true.
Thank GOD for that!
One thing in 'common' your BAD POPES THRU HISTORY had:
they DID believe in Petrine authority and clung to the fanciful claims of ROME about the Eucharist.
This kind of Catholic arrogance lessens the need to reply.
Channeling Teyve?
Tevye: As the good book says, when a poor man eats a chicken, one of them is sick.
Mendel: Where does the book say that?
Tevye: Well, it doesn’t say that exactly, but somewhere there is something about a chicken. Good Sabbath!
HA! no... I am Dutch, which should explain it well enough : )
Neophyte? The apostles didn't teach the assumption of Mary or that she was sinless. Yet the Catholic Church demands that their followers believe that. Paul said anyone who teaches something they didn't was to be considered accursed as it was "another gospel".
As you reject the teachings of the Catholic Church, Sacred traditions and the Magisterium that The Holy Spirit inspires and protects the Church from error, you should be aware of the 6 sins against the Holy Spirit:
Presumption
Despair
Resisting the known truth
Envy of anothers spiritual good
Obstinacy in sin
Final impenitence
Adsum, Are you then saying that if I am not a Roman Catholic that I have sinned against the Holy Spirit and thus not saved?
A simple yes or no will be a sufficient answer.
The Holy Spirit doesn’t inspire some proclaimed “magisterium”. The Holy Spirit indwells true believers and it is He who gives us the ability to discern false teachings like those of the Catholic Church. It’s interesting to note that the very word “magisterium” comes from paganism. Magi or a derivative of it is a term, used since well before Christ, to denote followers of Zoroastrianism or Zoroaster. Is it any wonder that the Catholic Church removed the name of Clement of Alexandria who curses the magi for their “impious” rites and rituals from it’s list of Roman Martyrology?
Again you operate from a false premise
, you should be aware of the 6 sins against the Holy Spirit: Presumption, Despair, Resisting the known truth, Envy of anothers spiritual good, Obstinacy in sin, Final impenitence,
This is interesting.
Q. 917. What is the presumption of God's mercy? A. A foolish confidence of salvation, without leading a good life, or any care to keep the commandments; such as they entertain who think they will be saved by faith only, without good works.
Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith and not that of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not as a result of works, lest anyone should boast.
However, the Bible noted a sin against the Holy Spirit was when the Pharisees attributed Jesus' ability to cast out demons was due to Him doing so in the name of Beelzebub.
In other words, they were rejecting Christ.
To reject Christ is the only unforgiveable sin. If not, then what is 1 John 1:9 for?
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Jesus is the Judge. I do not know whether you will enter Heaven.
