You can believe anything you want...However, God says all have sinned...That includes Mary...
No, it is not in the bible. But neither is the concept of sola scriptura.
If you were any kind of a bible student, you would know better than that...The concept of scripture alone is all over the bible...
Man can only live 'by every word that comes from the mouth of God.' Not every one of those words is in the bible. Some were never written, but were remembered and passed down.
Your religion admits that it doesn't have any of those words...
If you do not accept that there could be some traditions that are from God but extra-biblical, then you are not really following God's teaching.
You are just parroting what they tell you...You will not find that concept in the scriptures...

Wow, where do we get our magic decoder ring?
This is “Another gospel” if ever there was one!

And I am not parroting anyone. I have a brain, I research, and I make my own conclusions. I do not eliminate possibilities just because they agree with the Catholic church.

p.s. Where in scripture does it say only to rely on scripture? And how does scripture tell us to resolve contradictions in scripture?

Where?
I have just given you an example from the bible, which directly contradicts that unless you believe that EVERY word from the mouth of God is in the bible. It doesn't say, 'but by every word that comes from the mouth of God that was written down.'
You didn't answer the question. Do you believe that every word God has spoken is written in the bible? And how did early Christians know what to believe before the New Testament was written?
