Actually, our Lord entrusted mankind to the Church, not the Bible (the Church in turn gave us the Bible). I try as best I can to faithfully do what He instructed us to do.
No, Catholics accept what man says is true with no infallible support
Incorrect, Church teachings are not in conflict with Scripture.
There is absolutely no proof or even a suggestion anywhere in known inspired writing that Mary was born free of sin, that she never sinned, that she was assumed into heaven, there is no evidence that she can hear or answer prayer or that she is the "queen of heaven"
The fact that Protesants REJECT Church teaching on portions of Scripture, does not mean that such Scripture does not exist.
If a Jew came to you and said there was no Scripture that says that Jesus Christ is God and that He was crucified for our sins and that we could have eternal life through his name, you would say that the Jew was wrong, but from his perspective it would be totally true. Protestant rejection of Marian teaching is no different.
This is all nothing more than speculation made doctrine.. All sola scriptura says is that it is the FINAL authority because we know that is the inspired word of God
How do you "know" this? Who do you think it was that determined the canon of the New Testament? Protestants rely on the tradition of the Catholic Church whether they want to admit it or not.
To Catholics the church is were one gets saved, in scripture and in Protestantism the church is the gathering of the saved..
BTW The scriptures were inspired by God and given by God, and given to the church..

My friend.. there is no priesthood, no apostolic succession, no papacy , no prayer to saints, no immaculate conception, no assumption, no holy water, no purgatory, no 7 sacraments instituted by Christ, etc etc.. The majority of what passes for catholic doctrine is found no where in the scriptures and comes from the imagination or musings of men

We reject what the scripture is silent on as "inspired truth" and we reject scriptures taken out of context and circumstances to prove a doctrine that a clear reading does not support

The scriptures give testimony of themselves. They support each other and define each other.. the scriptures were declared scripture when they were written and used as scripture before the church council affirmed them
