You actually got one right.........
"the Assumption of Mary, I would say are not to be found in Scripture, but are based in Catholic Tradition."
That is exactly what we have been telling you from the beginning!!!!!!
I find your post rather amusing. That is basic Catholic teaching. I believed that 5 years ago. What on the earth do you think Sacred Tradition is?
Your response illustrates how little you actually know about Catholicism. Perhaps if you actually studied it, you would not abhor it so much.
You also have hold doctrines that are not found in the Bible (such as your belief that the Matthew and Hebrews are Scripture). You just refuse to admit your own traditions. This is proven by your complete inability to provide one single verse in the Bible that teaches that Hebrews is Scripture.
WRONG! You ask what was not Biblical and I gave you a short list. You have not replied to these points as it is impossible to do so Biblically.
NOT ONE of those 8 questions is Biblical and you know that as well. So what do you do????
Well here is one for you, which supports the Catholic doctrine of purgatory:
2 Maccabees 12:39-45
39 On the next day, as by that time it had become necessary, Judas and his men went to take up the bodies of the fallen and to bring them back to lie with their kinsmen in the sepulchres of their fathers. 40 Then under the tunic of every one of the dead they found sacred tokens of the idols of Jam′nia, which the law forbids the Jews to wear. And it became clear to all that this was why these men had fallen. 41 So they all blessed the ways of the Lord, the righteous Judge, who reveals the things that are hidden; 42 and they turned to prayer, beseeching that the sin which had been committed might be wholly blotted out. And the noble Judas exhorted the people to keep themselves free from sin, for they had seen with their own eyes what had happened because of the sin of those who had fallen. 43 He also took up a collection, man by man, to the amount of two thousand drachmas of silver, and sent it to Jerusalem to provide for a sin offering. In doing this he acted very well and honorably, taking account of the resurrection. 44 For if he were not expecting that those who had fallen would rise again, it would have been superfluous and foolish to pray for the dead. 45 But if he was looking to the splendid reward that is laid up for those who fall asleep in godliness, it was a holy and pious thought. Therefore he made atonement for the dead, that they might be delivered from their sin.
Smoke screen. Political excuses.
I will shorten my list for you then.
Why do YOU believe and the RCC teach that Mary was SINLESS?
I believe that Mary was sinless because the Catholic Church teaches that Mary is sinless, because she is the one true church founded by Jesus Christ when he walked the Earth, and because God prevents her from defining error concerning Christian faith and morals.
But you should have known that already.
