especially when the actual BIBLE is referenced.

Would that be the abridged, heavily edited version of Scripture circa 1611 AD, or the original unabridged, unedited version from 405 AD?

How about those books & letters that were generally accepted as scripture even earlier than that. For that matter - absolutely NONE of the books, Old Testament, New Testament, or even the Deuterocanonical books (Apocrypha) teach that Mary was the “Mother of God”. So there’s a starting point.

Another, very much related, would be the “perpetual virginity of Mary” and the “immaculate conception of Mary), which again is not recorded in ANY book, pre or post-1611.

Both of these originated in the writings and teachings of “church fathers” far after the apostolic age (death of the last of the first-century apostles).
