emmaus sorry-you can think about her assumption until jesus comes back but you will never find any scriptural evidence for it.--angel1 | ||||||
2 | Elijah went to heaven alive | 2 Kin 2:11 | Emmaus | 36706 | ||
angel1 True, but it obviously is not a un scriptural concept based on these other events. Not everything that happens is recorded in scripture. Emmaus |

hi emmaus-thx for reply. there is also no historical evidence for her assumption. the cath. church itself built a church over the sight of her grave prior to this doctrine being adopted. when we take concepts out of context it is dangerous.God went to a lot of trouble to tell us what He finds important. should'nt we be more concerend about what is written than what is only a possibility? | ||||||

Angel, I am aware of the Church of the Dormition, claimed by one tradition as the place of Mary's death and assumption in Jerusalem. Another tradition hold that her life ended and the assumption took place in Ephesus. Both agree on the Assumption. The Church takes no position on the location. It merely asserts that "at the end of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into the glory of heaven." Another interesting fact is the absence of any claim for the posession of her relics. This is indeed very interesting since there are many ancient claims to the relics of the apostles and other early saints and martyrs. And we know that would be quite an honored relic. But the point of the doctrine is this. It affirms the promise of the resurrection of the body found in the scriptures which applies to all of us. No different from the promise of the rapture or what you find with Enoch and Elijah and the Jewish tradition of the asumption of Moses alluded to in Jude but not found in the Hebrew scriptures. And there is also the matter of Rev. 12:1-8, which for Catholics is a sign or hint of the assumption among other things. But the main point is that all the saved will experience the same being caught up and renewed in the body. So it is not such a leap of faith if you believe in the rapture and the resurrection of all believers. It is an affirmation of the scriptural promise. A promise fulfilled even earlier for some immediatley after the death of Jesus in Matt 27:52-53. So we are concerned with what is written and all it implies for all of us. Peace, Emmaus |

Angel, The resurrection and assumption into the presence of God is a translation. It is all of one piece. After Jesus rose he also ascended to the right hand of the Father. Kind of difficult to enter heaven without the glorified body don't you think? Emmaus |

hi emmaus--"translation" is what happened to Elija--alive and taken bodily. I'm surprised you didn't pick up on my mistake. I know mary was supposed to have died before assumption then taken bodily up ---so what? We will all rise at the ressurection with glorified bodies. all the assumption theory states is mary was ressurected before the general ressurection---AND there is NO scriptural evidence for it. in HIS name only-angel one | ||||||
