What is a Protestant assessment of the Catholic doctrine of the Assumption of Mary into Heaven?

∙ 14y ago
All of the Christian Church, with the exception of Roman Catholics, and a few individuals in other denominations, regard the Assumption of the Virgin Mary as a Roman Catholic doctrine that has no basis in history or scripture, is based on flimsy evidence, and has been adopted by the Roman Church to further elevate and revere Mary almost to the level of goddess. This is borne out in other doctrines regarding Mary that have no historical or scriptural basis, such as her continued virginal state after Christ's birth (despite his having several siblings) and the movement within the Catholic Church to make Mary 'co-redemptrix' along with Christ himself. Therefore to ask how the assuption took place is irrelevant as any answer cannot be based on fact, history, or tradition.

There have been numerous incidents of rather famous protestant preachers and ministers who, upon study and prayer, have left their denominations and converted to the Church.
