Where is Mary's assumption at in the Bible? What verse?

Question

Hi! What Bible verse is Mary's asscension in?

Thanks!

Answer 1

You are correct that the Assumption of Mary is not in the Bible. Neither is any mention of the death of any of the Apostles. Since the Immaculate Conception and Assumption are not explicit in Scripture, Fundamentalists conclude that the doctrines are false. Here, of course, we get into an entirely separate matter, the question of sola scriptura, or the Protestant "Bible only" theory. The Catholic Church was commissioned by Christ to teach all nations and to teach them infallibly—guided, as he promised, by the Holy Spirit until the end of the world (John 14:26, 16:13). The mere fact that the Church teaches that something is definitely true is a guarantee that it is true (cf. Matt. 28:18-20, Luke 10:16, 1 Tim. 3:15).

Over the centuries, the Fathers and the Doctors of the Church spoke often about the fittingness of the privilege of Mary’s Assumption. The speculative grounds considered include Mary’s freedom from sin, her Motherhood of God, her perpetual virginity, and—the key—her union with the salvific work of Christ.

The dogma is especially fitting when one examines the honor that was given to the ark of the covenant. It contained the manna (bread from heaven), stone tablets of the ten commandments (the word of God), and the staff of Aaron (a symbol of Israel’s high priesthood). Because of its contents, it was made of incorruptible wood, and Psalm 132:8 said, "Arise, O Lord, and go to thy resting place, thou and the ark of thy might." If this vessel was given such honor, how much more should Mary be kept from corruption, since she is the new ark—who carried the real bread from heaven, the Word of God, and the high priest of the New Covenant, Jesus Christ.

Answer 2

The Bible does list God “assuming” each Enoch and Elijah into Heaven (Genesis five:24; two Kings two:eleven). Therefore, it's not not possible that God might have performed the identical with Mary. There is not any biblical foundation for the Assumption of Mary. The Bible does now not list Mary's loss of life or once more point out Mary after Acts bankruptcy a million.

Answer 3

The Bible does not this is a teaching of the Catholic Church. The Bible does not hold Mary in the same regard as the Catholic Church. Here are just a few of their beliefs concerning Mary that are not supported by the Bible.

Other

* She remained a virgin after the birth of Christ (Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 510).
* "The liturgical feasts dedicated to the Mother of God and Marian prayer, such as the rosary, are an epitome of the whole Gospel" (par. 971).
* Mary, "...when the course of her earthly life was completed, was taken up body and soul into the glory of heaven..." (par. 974).
* "Mary has by grace been exalted above all angels and men to a place second only to her Son" (Vatican Council II, p. 421).
* "Preserved free from all stain of original sin" (Catechism, par. 966).

It maybe time to stop the false teachings and focus on the true intermediary between man and God who is Jesus Christ.

Answer 4

It is not in the Bible.

It is part of tradition and was understood to have happened and believed by the early church. We have proof that the early Christians believed that Mary was assumed into heaven.

Keep in mind that if Scripture does not record an event, it does not follow that the event did not happen. Scripture does not record Paul or Peter's journey to Rome, and they were both martyred there while the Bible was still being written. With this in mind, it would be unscriptural and unreasonable to conclude that the dogma of Mary's Assumption is false because it is not mentioned explicitly in Scripture.

But you also have to wonder, if she had died and been buried...wouldn't the Christians have made her burial site known? I think it would have been a place of veneration...I mean the Mother of our Lord? There would have been something. But all we have it the knowledge that the early Christians believed her to have been assumed into heaven, like Elijah and Enoch.

Answer 5

The Assumption (the Fourth Glorious Mystery) is not mentioned in the Bible.

Neither is the Coronation of Mary (the Fifth Glorious Mystery).

Answer 6

Hi The bible mentions nothing of Marys death.
Your Sister In Christ

Answer 7

It happened after Acts 28 was finshed. You won't find a Scripture reference. It is Tradition. The belief in the corporeal assumption of Mary is founded on the apocryphal treatise De Obitu S. Dominae, bearing the name of "St. John", which belongs however to the fourth or fifth century.

It is also found in the book De Transitu Virginis, falsely ascribed to St. Melito of Sardis, and in a spurious letter attributed to St. Denis the Areopagite.

However....if we consult genuine writings in the East, it is mentioned in the sermons of St. Andrew of Crete, St. John Damascene, St. Modestus of Jerusalem and others. In the West, St. Gregory of Tours (De gloria mart., I, iv) mentions it first. The sermons of St. Jerome and St. Augustine for this feast, however, are spurious. St. John of Damascus (P. G., I, 96) thus formulates the tradition of the Church of Jerusalem:

A blunder by Pope Pius X11 when he declared ex officio Mary's Assumption into heaven without any evidence from history or scripture, simply on his say-so

Answer 9

Mary's Assumption is not found in Sacred Scripture it's part of Sacred Tradition which does not make it any less accurate.

There are several doctrines that both Protestant and Catholic Churches subscribe to that are not mentioned in Sacred Scripture but are no less true. i.e., the Trinity, the canon of Sacred Scripture etc.

Answer 10

Somewhere next to the part where it says that God Jesus and the Holy Spirit are all one person and three people at the same time... It might be right after the part that says we all have immortal souls.
