Scripture that supports Mary being the “Queen of Heaven”?
Scripture that supports that Mary is a co-redemptrix?
Scripture that supports Mary was born without sin?
Scripture that supports that Mary was sinless?
Mary was a woman. She was the vessel in which Christ was born. Sinful just like the rest of us. No different than the rest of us in birth or death.
And, also — the scripture to which you refer doesn’t claim what you’re trying to say that it claims.
You wrote:
‘8 While he was speaking, a woman from the crowd called out and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that carried you and the breasts at which you nursed.”
28
He replied, “Rather, blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it.” ‘
Who was the woman referring to? Did any other womb bear Christ? Did any other breast nurse him? Then WHO else could Christ be referring to when he said, “rather....”?
Get it? Those who hear God’s word and observe it are RATHER to be blessed than the womb that bore Him or the breasts that nursed him. Try to ACTUALLY read it in context instead of reading IN what the Roman Catholic Church claims.
Sorry.

Seriously, I have to run. Super Bowl *Bowel as far as I’m concerned* supper to get going. Company coming.
“1) Sola scriptura contradicts itself, because it is not taught in scripture.
2) Sola scriptura is an example of the logical fallacy of begging the question, inasmuch as the canonical scriptures never identify what is and what is not scripture.
3) The Bible teaches that oral tradition is a source of revelation.
4) The Bible shows the Catholic system of authority.
5) The writings of the earliest Christians show the Catholic system of authority.
6) The legitimate practices of the Jews developed, and the scriptures were not viewed as an exclusive guide.
7) The infant Church in Acts is in a constant state of development.
8) Sola scriptura was not believed by anybody until the Reformation, and is thus a tradition of man, condemned by Jesus.
9) The Bible prophesies the rise and growth of the Catholic Church.
10) The Church of Christ has no historical connection to the Church established in Jerusalem in 33 AD.
11) The Church of Christ only teaches sola scriptura because she split from Calvinism and is, therefore, a Protestant denomination or sect, and not the Universal Church of the Bible.
1) Sola scriptura contradicts itself, because it is not taught in scripture.
The doctrine that the Bible alone is our only religious authority is not taught in the Bible. There is no book, chapter, and verse that demands book, chapter, and verse authority for every doctrine and practice. Don’t get me wrong—I believe that the 27 letters which are in the New Testament are inspired. I believe that they are inerrant. I believe that they are authoritative. However, they NEVER CLAIM to be our only authority. The entire doctrine collapses because it contradicts itself.”

“2 Thessalonians 2:15
So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter.
TRADITIONS in the teachings of the Fathers and of the things known by the Apostles and given to us by word of mouth and in the traditions are how we know.
Catholics believe Scripture and follow it. We do not believe in Sola Scriptura.
I’ll play tomorrow, maybe.
Peace be with you.
