Ah, so the Trinity isn't in the Scriptures either, then. Christ never used the term nor did Christ or even an Apostle ever recite the majority of what the Snowflake Sect preach. So, in order to be consistent, we can expect to see an admission that the real flesh and blood of Christ are in our remembrance of Him (Christ Himself did clearly say and repeat that fact), that there is nothing in the Scripture that says "Scripture Alone", and that anyone can select their own canon because there is no table of contents included explicitly in Scripture or even a singe one of the NT books referred to by title.

So, let's review. The criteria used to pretend Mary is not the Mother of God means that there's no Trinity, no valid canon of the Scriptures, the doctrine of "Scripture Alone" is just pure hokum, and there's no reason whatsoever to refuse to accept the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist unless you consider what Christ Himself said to be a lie or you do not accept that particular book of the Bible.

Those who can't handle Mary being the Mother of Jesus Christ who is God in the flesh need to get used to hearing the words, " I never knew you".

Here’s what Jesus says about things that go in the belly.

Matthew 15:17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

Do you also eat scrolls?

Ezek 3:1 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this scroll, and go speak unto the house of Israel. 2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that scroll. 3 And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.

Maybe you could explain to us how Catholics physically eat words.

Jer 15:16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.

Or was He talking about spiritual things?

1 Corinthians 10:3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat; 4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

Maybe there is a reason you don’t understand.

1 Corinthians 2:14 The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

You know this how? Did God tell you that?

And why are you taking those words out of context? They are directed to those who were appealing to their works for salvation.

Our salvation is based on our relationship with the risen Christ, not our opinion of His mother.
