Dogmatic and infallible fact going all the way back to the early times, 1950. It's interesting that the Bible gives two clear examples of assumption, but somehow completely neglects what to you must be far and away the most important one. Perhaps this is another one of those "since everyone knew it there was no need to say it" deals?

Beautiful!

John, the longest living Apostle, was entrusted with the care of Mary. He wrote the last book of the NT. The Apostolic era ended with his death. He never wrote about Mary and her supposed assumption. He was either incompetent and did not know, or it did not occur.

The answer is obvious to any one who wants to ponder the evidence.

Excellent point. I didn't even think of that. :)
