You have not established that veneration of saints, the Mass, the priesthood, the seven sacraments, etc., did not exist in apostolic or sub-apostolic times.

You assume that the New Testament was written in order to describe Christian life down to the last detail. I.e., good old sola scriptura.

Since sola scriptura is mentioned NOWHERE in the New Testament, sola scriptura is a man-made doctrine. It is unscriptural. It is self-contradictory, precisely because it doesn’t come from Scripture.
