If you really believe that, then I’ve got some ocean front property in Arizona to sell you.
But since you bring it up, tell me in scripture where to find the doctrine of sola scripture. And what is your take on John 6?
You just proved my point with that sentence.

There you go. This whole thread is about Adam and Eve but rather than answer aimhigh's question you immediately invoke the only verses which the Catholic Church interprets literally. Why don't you answer the question about Adam and Eve? Why do you dodge it?
I take this as a back door admission that you don't believe the events narrated in Genesis actually happened. After all, that's "heretical" for a Catholic (or an Orthodox), isn't it?
You know what's really crazy? Aside from Augustine most of your church fathers were young-earth creationists. They never felt the need to limit the literal details of Genesis like their so-called followers do. But every statement in which they agree with Fundamentalist Protestants is dismissed because "they were relying on the science of their time and didn't know what we know today." Yet every teaching on which they disagree with Fundamentalist Protestants is treated as untouchable divinely-revealed truth!
What a lousy attitude to have!
Easy enough...
1Co_4:6 And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.
Elevation of Mary??? Nope...Elevation of Saints...Nilch...A pope??? Give it up...
1Jn_5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
Is there something outside of scripture that will aid in our salvation??? NOPE...It's all there...Any future tradition??? Not a chance...A new revelation from God or Mary??? Never happen....We've got it all in the scriptures...
