Or the rediculous assumption. Both assumptions having zero biblical foundation.even Abraham has not yet been resurecrected into immortality..only Jesus. None other.
Mary wasn't resurrected, she was assumed into heaven by the power of Christ. You claim "zero biblical foundation" yet can't find any biblical foundation for
altar call,
Rapture
premillenialism
eternal security
total immersion
sola scriptura
total depravity
faith alone
and a list of unbiblical Protestant doctrines, but demand triple proof texts for each and every Catholic doctrine, practice and devotion.
That's a double standard. You can claim indirect inferences or non-explicit biblical support, but Catholics can't???
Gen. 5:24, Heb. 11:5 – Enoch was bodily assumed into heaven without dying. Would God do any less for Mary the Ark of the New Covenant? (Assumptions are not foreign to Scripture, only to those in denial)
2 Kings 2:11-12; 1 Mac 2:58 – Elijah was assumed into heaven in fiery chariot. Jesus would not do any less for His Blessed Mother. (again, assumptions precede Mary's, but first you have to believe the Bible)
Psalm 132:8 – Arise, O Lord, and go to thy resting place, thou and the Ark (Mary) of thy might. Both Jesus and Mary were taken up to their eternal resting place in heaven.
2 Cor. 12:2 – Paul speaks of a man in Christ who was caught up to the third heaven. Mary was also brought up into heaven by God.
Matt. 27:52-53 – when Jesus died and rose, the bodies of the saints were raised. Nothing in Scripture precludes Mary’s assumption into heaven.
1 Thess. 4:17 – we shall be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and so we shall always be with the Lord. (every dispensationist and his dog will be caught up, but Jesus has no power to do that for His mother???)
Rev. 12:1 – we see Mary, the “woman,” clothed with the sun. While in Rev. 6:9 we only see the souls of the martyrs in heaven, in Rev. 12:1 we see Mary, both body and soul.
2 Thess. 2:15 – Paul instructs us to hold fast to oral (not just written) tradition. Apostolic tradition says Mary was assumed into heaven. While claiming the bones of the saints was a common practice during these times (and would have been especially important to obtain Mary’s bones as she was the Mother of God), Mary’s bones were never claimed. This is because they were not available. Mary was taken up body and soul into heaven.
