Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Christanon 08/15/18 (Wed) 08:14:14 f49845 No.687950

Go to Mass today and pray the Rosary. The Mother of God has been assumed into heaven where she reigns as Queen in the Kingdom of God.

Curious Protestant here, I want to make sure I have a correct idea of what you believe: the Assumption of Mary was her (incorruptible) body being apported to Heaven after her physical death, right?

Exactly.

She died a natural death with all the surviving Apostles present. Tradition gets a bit murky from their but after her soul entered heaven St. Thomas who was late and witnessed her soul entering heaven had them open her tomb to find it empty. The Apostles filled with the Holy Spirit understood that God has also take her body up as well. That is the basis of it Catholics say one thing Orthodox say another but at the end of the day we know she was taken body and soul into heaven.

I actually don't really want to now

I figure if this isn't punishment for degeneracy, it's a test to see if the crutch can be removed (i.e. a sex partner) and I still prevent myself from masturbating.

Keep the streak going, don't do it.

And she broke up by text? Utter cowardice on her part, sounds like you dodged a bullet.

>>688060

Nah wasn't quite her fault, she cancelled on a date saying she didn't have time. I had a feeling she was going to break it off anyway, so I asked if she just didn't have time for this one, or in general.

Turned out to be the latter.

Remember: the central messages of Job and Ecclesiastes is that you should never assume anything about what happens to you or anyone else: it's all part of God's plan regardless.

What are the main historical sources for this? I mean something like the Didache or letters of Justin Martyr.

Christanon 08/15/18 (Wed) 16:00:37 bef53b No.688069

>>688066

Fair point

I'm more thinking of Augustine's line that a Christian should consider any bad that befalls him to be punishment for wrongdoing or a test to strengthen faith

Assumption of Mary was celebrated in the Eastern Church since the beginning, but it was only limited to certain regions who kept the tradition alive. The western Church did not adopt it until the 4th or 5th century when it became more widespread. The earliest text we have on this oral tradition about the Assumption in the East comes from the 3rd century "The Book of Mary's Repose", but we may even have something earlier known as the "Crossing Over of Mary" which many scholars date to the late 2nd century. However, it seems that Revelation 12 also makes a heavy allusion to the Assumption.

>B-but it's just the Church!
