The majority of us aren't catholics, so why would we want to accept their false teachings and beliefs? And Matthew 16:19 has NOTHING to do with whether Mary is alive or not. That verse talks about the keys of the kingdom to heaven, and binding and loosing what was bound here and there. I fear for your salvation, for you are seriously deluded.. You are believing the lies of catholicism..
For instance, it is mandatory for you and every other person who considers themself to be a Roman Catholic to believe the dogmas your popes proclaim infallible, even though there is zero Scriptural support for them. You are not free to simply accept what the Bible tells you. You must believe what the popes say you have to believe. The Truth will set you free, but perhaps you prefer bondage.
Since you seem so keen to throw these words around, you must know well what they mean. So... what is the meaning of "blasphemy"? What is the meaning of "heretical"? Why would you bother adding "it seems" to "unforgiveable"... are you unsure of your position (which of course is unbiblical, as only one sin is described therein as unforgiveable, or didn't you know that?).
Your out-of-context comments don't help your case. If you are referring to a specific statement, quote it so that we can understand you.
Another thought... since, according to you, there is so much "utter and total blasphemy" on this forum, why are you here? Surely you are sinning by associating with such heinous unregenerate sinners such as us?

We all must understand the Catholics had walked away from God when in 1854 the Catholic Church proclaimed that Mary was born without sin.
Show us where in the Scriptures does God ever say Mary was without sin wincam?
How can you wincam ever claim you are a Child of God when you see nothing wrong with Praying to Mary as your God?
In the Catholic Church today Mary reigns supreme above God. Its Mary the Catholics go to for help. Its Mary the Catholics go to when they need something. Its Mary the Catholics go to when they want forgiveness for their sins.
Mary is First and foremost in the lives of the Catholics. This is why wincam attacks all True Christians. If you notice wincam throws a lot out there with absolutely no Scriptures to back up his claim.
You really need to repent of your sins wincam and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Reject Mary. Reject the Catholic Church.
I too was caught up in the Corrupted Catholic Church. I too Worshiped Mary. I was brought out of the Catholic Church by Jesus Himself! He came seeking me and He found me! I left the Catholic Church, joined a True Christian Church, accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior and was re-Baptized in the True Church!
You too wincam can find Jesus. All you have to do is accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior and stop Praying to Mary and you to can enter into Heaven with me!

the question of how mary's earthly life ended is a more interesting one...
the roman catholic church teaches a doctrine called the 'assumption of mary' and the eastern churches teach a similar doctrine called the 'dormition of the mother of God'...
this doctrine teaches that mary died and her body was translated directly to heaven...wincam appears to be mistaken in believing that this doctrine requires that mary did not die...in fact most roman catholic theologians disagree with that flavor of the doctrine though the roman church has chosen to leave it an open question...
the earliest references to the tradition of mary's 'assumption' or 'dormition' appear in the fourth century...the early christian writer epiphanius of salamis at that time stated that nobody knew whether mary had died or not...an unusual statement that reveals the obscurity of the circumstances of the end of her earthly life...
while there is no scriptural basis for this doctrine...scripture does not rule it out either...as scriptural reference to mary ceases decades before the close of the apostolic era...
an intriguing detail is the fact that no church...no matter how heretical...claims to hold any relics of mary...suggesting that the belief that no such relics existed was so universal among ancient christians that such claims were too outlandish even for heretics to make...
this is in contrast with the fact that many churches claim to have relics of the apostles and other early christian figures...
there is a 'tomb of the virgin mary' in jerusalem...where it is claimed that she was buried and her tomb was found empty three days later...but the remains of this tomb have not be subjected to serious archaeological investigation...
there are perhaps more convincing arguments that mary spent the last days of her earthly life in ephesus...where her 'son' the apostle john lived later on...
i think this is one of those questions where God has simply seen fit not to let us know what happened with any certainty...as truth belongs to God it is his to either reveal or leave unknown...
