I knew you were going to bring the Catholic Church into this somehow. You went from preaching about salvation to blasting the Catholic Church in 48 posts.
Yes, Bird Dog, the discussion was going along about salvation and then in Post #36 Radiant1 asked the following:

Then why do you hound Catholics?
And that's the reason the RCC came back into the picture - because the RCC is NOT being truthful to you nor any other parishioner about the True Salvation through Christ that is mentioned in the New Testament teachings of Jesus and His Disciples.
The RCC has added Marian theology and claims that it is the "Church" that Christ founded with Peter being the first "pope". Additionally, it is obvious that the RCC teaches that the Atoning Blood of Christ was not sufficient enough of God's Grace to bring complete forgiveness of your sins in the here and now and that you still have to be sent to a spiritual "half-way house" known as purgatory for further cleansing before being allowed into Heaven.
What's more, the RCC makes it an absolute requirement that you abide by its teachings in order to obtain salvation.
This is exposing a pseudo-Christian theology for what it is. Even though you call this "blasting the Catholic Church" it is a Biblical response that believers in Christ are responsible for telling and warning those who are caught up in following false doctrines.
Yes this pertains to the eternal Salvation of your soul and it's something you cannot afford to be wrong about. I stand by my claim:
The RCC is preaching "salvation" via another gospel, another Jesus and another Mary and
NOT the True Biblical teaching of Salvation from the New Testament Accounts.
For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. (2 Corinthians 11:4)
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. (Galatians 1:8-9)
The written words of the Holy Bible contain all the essential truths that brings a person to the Salvation Grace that God offers through the Atoning Blood of Christ and there is no mention that Mary would ever join Him in Heaven as "Queen over all things," "Helper," "Advocate," Benefactress," co-Redemptrix," "Mediatrix," etc.
Jesus is the resurrected Saviour of mankind; There Is Proof of that.
There is no Biblical proof that Mary resurrected and was assumed up to Heaven.
No Proof - No Truth!
