Ben Franklin would famously grow skeptical about his fathers’ faith, but in many ways that faith – and its emphasis on the need for public morality and charity – would continue to mark Franklin’s own endeavors as an adult.

Kidd: "Ben Franklin’s Calvinist Father"

Three quick points:
1) Thanks Jon for the post (although the here weblink does not work).
2) I look forward to Dr. Kidd’s new book on Ben Franklin and religion.
3) Another key point in Dr. Kidd’s article was, ”his father’s experience with intolerance, help[ed] to frame Franklin’s own passion for religious liberty.” What Dr. Kidd will probably recount in his book is Franklin’s mother’s Baptist dissenter heritage from the Folgers of Nantucket.
Thanks.

THE ASSUMPTION OF MARY, A FALSE ASSUMPTION BY STEVE FINNELL
The assumption of the Virgin Mary according to the Catholic church is that Mary was bodily taken to heaven after her death.
Why would anyone assume something that is contrary to Scripture? Why take for granted a fact that is demonstrably false?
John 3:13 No one has ascended into heaven , but He who descended from heaven: the Son of Man.(NASB)
The Virgin Mary has not made the trip to heaven.
Acts 2:34 For it was not David who ascended into heaven... (NASB)
Davids body is still in the grave and so is the body of the Virgin Mary.
1 Corinthians 15:50-53 Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.....(NASB)
Mary's flesh cannot nor has it inherited the kingdom of God.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-17.....16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first....(NASB)
Christians will be bodily resurrected from the grave when Jesus returns, until then then they will remain in the grave as will the Virgin Mary.
1 Corinthians 15:20-23 But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep. 21 For since by man came death, by man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ's at His coming,(NASB)
There will be no bodily resurrections of the dead until Jesus returns. The Virgin Mary was not granted a special resurrection from the grave.
NOTE: Today, the belief in the corporeal assumption of Mary is universal in the East and in the West; according to Benedict XIV(Defestis B.V.M viii, 18) it is a probable opinion, which to deny were impious and blasphemous.(Ref. Catholic Encyclopedia:Assumption of Mary)
Would it be blasphemous to reject an opinion or blasphemous to reject the written word of God?
