>>Therefore, brothers, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught, either by an oral statement or by a letter of ours. (2 Thess 2:15)<<

Hmm, no teaching of the assumption or veneration there!

>>Take as your norm the sound words that you heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. Guard this rich trust with the help of the holy Spirit that dwells within us. … So you, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And what you heard from me through many witnesses entrust to faithful people who will have the ability to teach others as well. (2 Tim 1:13-14; 2:1-2)

Still no teaching of the assumption or veneration! What’s up with that? Let me post that again and I will highlight for you.

Then I’m sure you’re the one who can show proof that the apostles taught the assumption and veneration of Mary.

Maybe that will help you. You need to show proof of that specific teaching or we can understand that the RCC can make anything up and just say “it’s part of the tradition part of preaching”. See, you couldn’t show proof of those teachings.

I’m thinking the ones teaching those are “accursed”.

Neither Scripture has any bearing on our teachings about Mary. IAC, one would think that the worship of the Church centered on Mary, but one can go to mass every Sunday and hear the name of Mary spoken but seldom. During the creed, as the mother of the incarnate God, and during the canon with regards to her proper place at the head of the list of saints.

What those passages show is that the apostles did not restrict their teaching to the Scriptures but handed it on to other trusted people who taught others. That the Church, which is guarded by the Holy Spirit, taught the Assumption and the veneration of Mary is proof enough that it was taught by the apostles.

Now you show me your proof that the apostles taught sola scriptura.
