Me: In PRACTICE, sola scriptura, for all it's vaunted value it allegedly places on tradition and authoritative teaching, eventually reduces to "show me that in the Bible, or else it's not true" (which is really, "show me that in the Bible, and if what you show doesn't agree with my *opinion* of what it says, then it's not true") which is precisely NOT what sola scriptura adherents claim they believe. But it is certainly what it IS, in practice.

Just have the courage to look at your own self, in action, in your own experience, with a desire for truth and not to be "right", to see evidence of what I have just said about sola scriptura.

You (in response to me):Again, show me where the Bible says Mary was sinless. This would be in contradiction of Romans 3:23 which I can show you.

Show me the papacy and the current RCC leadership structure in the New Testament. You can't.

Little things like this is why the Bible is the source to use.

I rest my case on what I said before (now in bold). If you continue to refuse to acknowledge what I said was/is true, now given this direct evidence of your own actions (an objective fact) then we can proceed no further.

There are truly none so blind as those who refuse to see.
