If Scripture is not the sole source for what the apostles taught would you please show where the apostles taught the assumption of Mary. Paul did say that if anyone taught a different gospel than they did we were to consider them accursed.

“If Scripture is not the sole source for what the apostles taught would you please show where the apostles taught the assumption of Mary.”

Your premise is wrong. Look at your mistake: “If Scripture is not the sole source for what the apostles taught...” First, what “If”? Logically it is impossible that all that the Apostles taught is in the NT. It’s simply not possible. Second, just because something was handed down (tradition) doesn’t mean an easy to see source dating all the way back to the Apostles now exists - after all that would be a written source of some kind would it not? So, what we do have, are sources that show the idea of the Assumption was passed down from the generation to generation and could only have been done so if it was believed widely in the Church.

“Paul did say that if anyone taught a different gospel than they did we were to consider them accursed.”

Amazing. So, one day after a couple of Protestant anti-Catholics tell me it’s a-okay for Protestants to not agree on “disputable” items (using sola scriptura) you’re now claiming the Assumption represents a “different gospel” and people who believe it are accursed? But whenever else Protestant anti-Catholics discuss the Assumption they usually go out of their way to point out that Catholics must believe in it to be in union with the Church (or else their salvation is threatened?). Once again we see Protestant anti-Catholics just make it up as they go along. As long as they’re on the opposite side of the Catholic Church apparently they’re happy. The Protestant anti-Catholic hypocrisy just never ends.

Apostle John taught that Mary is in heaven, with a crown, and fighting for the Church (Rev. 12). However, we don't' know the entirety of what the Apostles taught from scripture alone; this is why an authentic Christian should learn from what the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church teaches through the entirety of time and not merely the written record of the canonical scripture.

if anyone taught a different gospel than they did we were to consider them accursed.

The teachings of Protestant charlatans from Luther on are indeed accursed. That is because unlike the Holy Church they contradicted the Gospels when they invented a "church" without priests and sacraments, and taught the counter-scriptural theories of Sola Scriptura and Sola Fide.
