Beg your pardon! You feel, believe, claim that if it ain’t in Scripture, it is extra-Biblical.
Tell me where in Scripture the Canon of Scripture is defined? You can’t, it isn’t there, it is NOT a “red herring” and you know full well that a Council of the Church defined what books should be admitted (are inspired) and what was not! That explains why there is no Gospel of Judas, Thomas or Mary in your Bible!
The Bible didn’t fall from heaven, it had books that were removed by Luther (he would loved to have removed James! “Jimmy” gave him fits over “works”) and yet the Bible you rely on does not have a listing of what it should contain.
Interesting...and relevant. By whose Authority do you challenge me? YOPIOS!
Do not characterize what I “feel.”
I BELIEVE that if it CONTRADICTS Scripture then it should be rejected. You evidentally believe there is more to Scripture than what is currently in the Canon.
Either way, the subject was the worship of Mary. Introducing a debate on the Canon is a red herring. IOW, you are trying to change the subject, as you are doing with introducing Luther, the Councils and anything else you want to chant in your well-memorized mantras. I dont’ challenge you. I ignore something that was irrelevant to the discussion at hand.
