It's really common sense-and you must know-the bible doesn't answer your stupid reply-and plus "why do you Catholics believe Mary ascended into heaven in the first place?” Does the Bible say anything about Mary being ascended into heaven? "No" but it doesn't stop the Catholic's to make up stories to claim she did!
The Bible has quite a bit to say about Mary and you can read this for yourself in the gospels, especially in {Luke 1-3, Matthew 1-3}
But Scripture does not affirm what is believed about Mary by the Catholic church. She is not the mother of God, only the mother of the humanity of Christ. Mary is not a mediator between God and man, only Jesus is the mediator between God and man.
{1 Timothy 2:5}“For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus”
The Bible says nothing about Mary being ascended into heaven in a special way. She went to heaven as we all do, through faith in Christ as God’s Son who died for our sin, including Mary’s.
Her conception was by the Holy Spirit, as explained in {Matthew 1:20 and Luke 1:35} but other than this being a miracle work, we are given no details.
{Luke 1:28} she is called “favored one” (literally, “endowed or filled with grace”) but only in the sense that God, by grace chose her to be the human mother who would give birth to the Christ child.
This same idea and word is used of all believers in {Ephesians 1:6} To say any more than this is to add to what the text says and this is what Catholicism has done.
{2 King 2, Acts 1:9-12} Elijah had gone up to heaven in a whirlwind, Jesus also Ascends to Heaven.
But nothing about Mary? Yes" it's common that Human's die!
In Spirit Mary is with God {Ecclesiastes 12:7} while her dust returns back to the ground.

the person I quoted said Mary is dead I asked her for the Bible portion where she died and you are here blabbing epistles. SMH....simple question you can't answer

these protestants are blatant fools in the biblical context of "foolishness".

brocab:
Modern day Catholic's are foolish Pharisees who seeked after Church tradition, while the Protestants are the modern day Berean who studies the written truth! {Acts 17:11}
"Fools are those who don't test themselves in the Word of God, but bow down before statues to remind them heaven exist.
Fools are those that pray through Mary and the saints believing the dead are spiritual mentors who can bring them closer to God.
Protestants are blatant fools only to you-in the biblical context because protestants believe {Matthew 6:6} But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Not blabbing epistles, supporting, I had answered it correctly, we live and die-If it is so simple-then it shows you are ever dumb or you haven't realized Mary's flesh is dead and gone with the wind!
This is how simple it really is, Humans live and die, Mary lived and she died, her flesh is dead! Who else lived and died, the apostles, Jesus lived and died and rose again.
Mary isn't part of the Trinity body-she was human-she had responsibilities, she had other Children and she needed to take care of them! She didn't ascend into Heaven like Jesus or Elijah. Where did Mary go after Acts in the bible, it's common sense to guess she died naturally, we only can believe her spirit lives on with the Lord..

brocab:
Hundreds of millions are getting things right-in your own point of view are these hundreds and millions "Catholic's?
Since you believe I am a smug fool, then at least answer the questions-is there room for us outside the Church, since you believe the hundreds and millions of whom are getting it right, then it can only mean someone else had to answer the questions, if not by you?
A simple question had caused an uproar within your body of the Catholic Church-Is it wrong for me to ask are there any Catholic's in heaven, or is it right to think there's none found in heaven?
Is there any proof-that the apostles were Catholic's, I suppose not! "Is there any proof you are even saved, not at all..

tommysparks:
are you so sure that she died? Where is her tomb or are you trying to tell me that if it was not recorded by one of those who wrote down things that happened before during and after Christ did not write it down then it did not happen?

Yale9:
i don't answer to stupidity or fallacy.. someone who thinks "church building" and "church" are the same thing aint ripe for any form of beneficial argument.... talk less of the fact that the said person erronously believes that Catholics worship and pray to Mary.

Yale9:
disgraceful

Yale9:
aint you tired of being too stewpid... u're even more useless than that pagan gathering u attend every sunday that you call a "church"

Yale9:
Who has ever wondered why protestatntism is seemingly the problem of christianity and the hallmark of the 21st century societal hypocrisy... well, here on this thread we all have a specimen.

solite3:
if Mary did not die, it could have been recorded in the bible as all the people who didn't die were written down.Jesus spoke to peter how peter would die. A prophecy on Mary was given, yet no hint on how Mary would not die.
Luke 2:35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.


Jesus made no hint about mary not dying neither did the apostles.

It is evident that such speculation was only formulated after the death of the apostles to promote idolatry.
If you said Mary did not die it means mary was not a human being the burden of proof lies on you.
As it is well known Mary was a sinner and a human like others and death is the natural fate of all men.

Can you point out any prophecy about Mary not dying?
Why will such important event be left out by both old and new testament?
Of what use is it to the church?
Why didn't the letters of the apostles mention it?

brocab:
This is the answer you should be asking yourself, if she isn't dead, then why are you praying to her as if she is! And why pray "TO" Mary and the saints in heaven, if they didn't die? Shouldn't you be praying "FOR" them, and not "TO" them, since you believe they still live?
Next question where are all the tombs-name all the apostles that had tombs?

tommysparks:
we pray for Mary to intercede for us, if you say we pray to Mary then that is your problem. You can continue in your ignorance. Catholic Church has lasted hundreds of years and your recently acquired ideologies can not prevail over the Catholic faith.

tommysparks:
when you talk about important events have you asked yourself why an event as important as the last supper all 4 Gospel writers did not know the name of the owner of that house or why did they forget to mention where the donkey used in the triumphant entry was kept or whether it was returned.

solite3:

Because those things you mentioned was not important. It was recorded that the bodies of the saints who died before the coming of Christ were resurrected yet Mary's assumption was not recorded in fact nothing special about Mary apart from giving birth to Christ was written.
Wake up from the deception.
God does not work by crowd or age neither by name but by the truth of his word.

Where did the show of stupidity by alleging "praying to Mary", "Idol worship" and all these nonsense he is saying come from?

Yale9:
It wouldn't have been a problem if he was innocently one of the protestant minorities, minding his business and remaining shallow to himself ALONE. But the dude is ironically lost in an euphoria of ignorance of what is left of the true undivided global church which is the Catholic Church. Where did the show of stupidity by alleging "praying to Mary", "Idol worship" and all these nonsense he is saying come from?

Yale9:
How can I belong to a quasi-christian social gathering, devoid of purpose and direction..... and still compare the joke I belong to, to the Catholic Church. Why are people stupid?

Yale9:
Mary is every shade of "special" As a christian, you're a special person cos u believe in and follow Christ. Talk less of someone who gave birth to this same Christ we're talking about. Everything about Mary is special.
