Actually, I think the Mary stuff is your opinion and the opinion of a room full of catholic theologians. It will always remain an opinion since it's premised on assumptions.
There is little to zero scripture involved in that doctrine, so the best you could say is that it's marginally scriptural Christian opinion.
My opinion on premillennial is a valid Christian opinion since it's a topic directly addressed by scripture. It's the answer that's fuzzy.

There is only zero in scrpture about it because of the books chosen to be official scripture. They were chosen, what, 1600 years ago? Who knows what didn't make it in. There is a limit because of the cutoff date.
And it's not opinion. It's deeply held, very strong tradition - from before the bible was formalized.
I have to go, but it might be worth considering the statements in the bible itself that say that what is contained in the book is not all that happened.

At least youre consistent with your use of the words I think . Actually you are not correct as it is not my opinion. The teachings on Mary are dogmas of the Catholic Church. Which BTW, is the one founded by Christ. I also notice you fail to capitalize Catholic, which shows a lack of respect on your part.

As usual you avoided all my questions. You seem to be fleeing from the Truth and its staring right at you. I know this will be in vain but Ill try one more time. My questions arent that hard.
1. Do you believe it is possible to know the Truth rather than guess about it?
2. Would you agree this is the reason Christ left us the Church , which scripture clearly tells us is the pillar and foundation of Truth?
3. Do you ever consider the Catholic position when you are comparing opinions?
Thanks

Hey man you're nearly there - but you just need to learn to use an upper case "A" for Assumption! ;)
