Where in the Bible does it say it has all the answers to every question?
NOWHERE.

Where in the Bible does it say that every doctrine, belief, and practice must be spelled out in the Bible?
NOWHERE.

If the Bible is the sole rule of faith, where in the Bible does it say how many books are in the New Testament?
NOWHERE.

These are traditions of men that you follow.

How can teachings of a church different from yours cause so much anger?
Do you hate Methodists? Anglicans? Baptists with the same intensity?
How about Jews?
Catholicism is the fulfillment of Judaism. Are you jealous and resentful because your church (whatever it is or isn't) cannot make that claim?

It doesn't seem to matter what the topic or OP is, anti-Catholics are compelled to derail it with Mary.

If the topic is 35 craters on the moon named after Jesuit scientists and mathematicians, some anti-Catholic will interject with Mary-something-or-other.

If the topic is how the Catholic Church invented the university system with its faculties, courses of study, examinations and degrees, some anti-Catholic with an M.Div. from Archie Bunker University will butt in about Mary.

If the topic is scientific evidence for miracles, count on the Christian ISIS to show up, who pretend to know more about Mary than her own Son.

This is just more proof epostle that you are not a Born again Christian. This is more proof that all you are is a false prophet, a wolf in sheep clothing trying to scatter the True children of God.

Catholicism is not the fulfillment of Judaism, Catholicism is the teaching of the lies from Satan as Truth from God.

Face it epostle you are not going to win in your war against God and His Scriptures. In the end you will lose if you keep on this road of destruction.

NOWHERE.
"...and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work." (2 Timothy 3:15-17)

Right there.

But you wouldn't know that, because you don't actually read the Bible.

We are well equipped, and do not need your "church" for anything.

2 Peter 3:14-16
[SUP]14 [/SUP] Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless;
[SUP]15 [/SUP] and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation--as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you,
[SUP]16 [/SUP] as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.

Untaught and unstable people describes you epostle.

Its the Catholics who twist the Scriptures to their own destruction epostle. Scriptures that do prove Mary was a sinner!

Speaking the truth to your RCC lies does not mean we are angry. It means we are willing to give up the time of our lives to try to lead you to the Truth contained in Scripture. Are you angry? You keep putting people on ignore.

He puts people on ignore because the sword of the Spirit hurts when it cuts and he doesn't want to hear the truth! ;)

The main agenda of Catholicism is to have the whole world Worship Mary as their God. This is what the Catholics are trying to do here. They are trying to deceive us into rejecting God to follow their god Mary.
