did virgen mary go to heaven before dying...?

Answer 1

Of COURSE not! Wasn't she Catholic?!?!

Answer 2

The doctrine of the Assumption says that at the end of her life on earth Mary was assumed, body and soul, into heaven, just as Enoch, Elijah, and perhaps others had been before her. It’s also necessary to keep in mind what the Assumption is not. Some people think Catholics believe Mary "ascended" into heaven. That’s not correct. Christ, by his own power, ascended into heaven. Mary was assumed or taken up into heaven by God. She didn’t do it under her own power.
It is puzzling how Pritestants deny the assumption of Christ`s holy Mother when the Prophet Elijah was assumed into Heaven,
The biblical story of Elijah's departure is unique. Elijah, in company with Elisha, approaches the river Jordan. He rolls up his mantle and strikes the water (2nd Kings 2:8). The water immediately divides and Elijah and Elisha cross on dry land. Suddenly, a chariot of fire and horses of fire appear and Elijah is lifted up to heaven in a whirlwind. As Elijah is lifted up, his mantle falls to the ground and Elisha picks it up.



The Church has never formally defined whether she died or not, and the integrity of the doctrine of the Assumption would not be impaired if she did not in fact die, but the almost universal consensus is that she did die. Pope Pius XII, in Munificentissimus Deus (1950), defined that Mary, "after the completion of her earthly life" (note the silence regarding her death), "was assumed body and soul into the glory of heaven."

The possibility of a bodily assumption before the Second Coming is suggested by Matthew 27:52–53: "[T]he tombs also were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised, and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many." Did all these Old Testament saints die and have to be buried all over again? There is no record of that, but it is recorded by early Church writers that they were assumed into heaven, or at least into that temporary state of rest and happiness often called "paradise," where the righteous people from the Old Testament era waited until Christ’s resurrection (cf. Luke 16:22, 23:43; Heb. 11:1–40; 1 Pet. 4:6), after which they were brought into the eternal bliss of heaven.

Answer 3

Although there's no mention of her after the early years, the Catholic Church just DECIDED that she ascended to heaven in the usual fiery chariot.

You may be reassured that they thought about it long and hard beforehand, though, and didn't tell anyone until they were absolutely sure.

Answer 4

Does anyone go to heaven BEFORE dying?

Answer 5

No.

She died the same way everyone else does. And she isn't a virgin anymore. She had relations with Joseph and had many children after the miracle virgin birth of Jesus.

She has no role in salvation. She is a sinner that needed Jesus to save her, just like us.

And she can't hear anyone "praying" to her.

Answer 6

No! Where did you get this?
