You say that with such forceful ignorance. I'm sure you've located her bones, just like the ones of St. Peter that aren't suppose to be in Rome. If Jesus Christ didn't raise His mother into heaven, what hope do you have that He will raise you? Seems a bit counter intuitive to me.Mary is in heaven. It is her earthly body that hasn't been raised yet. When we die, the exact same thing will happen with us. We don't have to believe Mary's earthly body has been raised to hope ours will be. Jesus promised they would be and He is our example and proof that our bodies will be raised and made anew as His was. One can believe this and not doubt that Christ is both man and God.
The demons knew Jesus Christ.Protestants do not believe that we only have to believe in His name to be saved. We have to believe in Him. Who He is which includes His grace. His name is a means of identification but it is who He is that we must believe in.
"And when he had opened the book, the four living creatures, and the four and twenty ancients fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints" [Apocalypse 5:8]. Seems a lot prayed to the saints.Give us one example of anyone in Scripture praying to anyone other than God (not counting those who prayed to false gods). Prayer by definition is talking to God. We cannot pray to a fellow human or a "saint." Only God is a rightful object of prayer. Scripture nowhere teaches otherwise. Asking another person here on earth to pray for me is far different than asking someone in heaven to pray for me. God has not permitted us or given us a means to contact those in heaven.
