The Joys of Catholicism

Show me where it says that in the Bible.

I say that because what you’re saying is contrary to the Scriptures. She will be resurrected the same as the rest of the Israelites who have faith plus works. There’s nothing to indicate otherwise.

We only know she was assumed body and soul.

You ASSUME this... incorrectly.

According to this standard Mary is still alive since we have no Biblical record of her ever dying. Same goes for Peter, Paul, John etc. Even Lazarus must still be around here somewhere.

All Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy iow the whole ancient Church have reason to believe otherwise.

What "All Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy" believe is irrelevant.

Thanks for your continued lack of sound reason.

And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment,

The exceptions being Enoch and Elijah, of course, since they were taken straight to heaven without dying, as scripture states. Even Lazarus died (again), because his body was not a glorified one.

So... If you would, please:

It is thought her body is now glorified, but it's an open question about whether she died before being assumed body and soul into Heaven, or whether her body was changed in the process of being assumed, or what. We only know she was assumed body and soul.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the greatest joy of Catholicism is blissful ignorance. So sad.

What do you have to base that reasoning on - i.e., that Mary was caught up to heaven?

I already pointed out there are lots of things not mentioned in the Bible.

What are your assumptions in asking the question to show you in the Bible that Mary was assumed into Heaven at the end of her Earthly life?

It either happened or it didn't happen. If it happened, then we know it happened because somebody witnessed it.
