There’s only one other thing I would say, be confident, God, Mary and Jesus are strong enough to defend themselves you don’t always need to do it for them.

Ask him to find a verse that says all doctrine must be found in the Bible. He’ll probably cite Scripture that says all Scripture is God-breathed (sure, but that doesn’t establish Scripture as the only authority) and not to add or take away from His words (where does it say that His words would only be in Scripture?), but there is not a single verse in the Bible that says the Bible/Scripture is the main authority of doctrine. Scripture is helpful and inspired, definitely, but not the be all end all of authority. What he’s promoting is actually nowhere in the Bible, so it’s funny that he accuses you of believing in things not found in Scripture.
Bonus points if you ask him what the pillar of truth is.
EDIT: It’s also rich that he complains that Scripture isn’t used to defend the Rosary. The Hail Mary, as you know, is from Scripture, the Our Father is from Scripture, and all of the mysteries are from Scripture (the Assumption and Crowning of Mary aren’t as obvious, I’ll grant you, but still there). Does he even know what a rosary is?

The ‘Hail Mary,’ is almost verbatim of verses in Luke.
The Rosary itself, is a Meditation on The Incarnation of Jesus Christ,
moments in His Life; and applying to to our own.
_
The Angels and Saints are living with Jesus Christ, and obviously pray for us.
God allows us to petition Jesus Christ through anyone who prays for us.
Personally, I think of these prayers addressed to the ‘Branches’ on ‘The Vine,’
to the ‘Vine Keeper,’ as a way the God gives honor to those who honor Him;
but a different way in His Omniscience of saying, ‘God of so and so ‘Branch,’
have mercy on us.’
These prayers do not attempt to engage someone who has gone to be with The Lord
in conversation. But they are like, if you with Christ in Eternal Glory were standing next
to us, pray for us. Since they are part of The Cloud of Witnesses, also in Hebrews,
God receives the supplication because they always participate with Christ’s Mediation;
through Grace.
It is kind of like thinking of a loved one who passed away; and exclaiming
in a time of need, ‘dad, help me.’ It reminds you of the dad’s help in life.
We get reminded of the ways a Saint cooperated with God’s Grace, and try to be like that. — They have no Power; but do appeal to Christ who has The Power of Mediation.

“Instead, you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to myriads of angels in joyful assembly, to the congregation of the firstborn, enrolled in heaven. You have come to God the judge of all men, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.” - Hebrews 12:22-24

Maybe another option would be to suggest to him that his interpretation of Scripture is not his own but that of the faith community that he’s part of?

He might then retort that the Holy Spirit is his interpreter and denominations, though it would depend on his background.

This is his new reply
I was a atheist I never believed in God then I started to follow RC doctrine because I didn’t know scripture yet then I started noticing what RC church beliefs doesn’t add up with Gods word
Sweetness I’ll say this GODS WORD is the authority
The Torah was the Jews and that was the divine word of God then when Jesus came the New Testament was added and you said you believe in Jesus so we could agree the Old Testament and new are the Devine word of God
In the beginning the word was with God and was God ,
Anything out of the bible is made of Mans assumption
I think you would have a hard time proving Gods word is outside of Scripture
Jesus when talking of history only referred to the Old Testament no other sources and all Old Testament events were accurate No other nation had Gods word the canaanites or the Babylon’s
I would still say if it’s not Gods word as in which Jesus claimed the Torah to be why believe any other doctrine right?
To do what you just said why not believe Mormons when they say you will become God because Jospeh smith said it in the 1800’s or not Believe Islam that Muhammad was actually speaking Gods word?
I understand your views but the more I focussed on the bible and forgot everything else I just couldn’t agree with the Bible and what’s preached in the RC church because I never found they were adding up

Actually it’s quite easy to prove that "Gods word is outside of Scripture ". Scripture itself says so. It says God’s Word is not only the written word. It is quite explicit.
If he’s referring to the name Yeshua and is criticizing Christmas and Easter - then it’s starting to sound like you’ve run into a Sacred Name sect member. SN is a cult and an offshoot of Messianic Judaism, which in itself is a sect of Protestantism. We all acknowledge our faith’s Jewish roots but they also try to frame bits and pieces of Christianity with fundamental Judaism. Because they do not believe in the same Christ that we Christians do, I don’t consider them Christians and I believe that Paul was speaking to these people when he wrote his strongly worded letter to the Galatians, especially Gal 5:1-4.
There’s a topic on this here:

So his beliefs are man’s assumption? Why bother to believe in what he says is true then because it’s all man’s assumption?
Simple. We have a Church established by God to deal with that, which, as Scripture itself says, is the pillar of truth.
I don’t think he does.
Like what? The Rosary that he doesn’t seem to understand?

I love being able to logically compare Old to New, and exactly why Jesus came to us. My 14 year old grandson often makes derogatory comments about Christians (he is searching for answers, I am praying he finds his way), ie: Christians who claim stoning a gay person is in the Old Testament. First of all, I tell him “how can they claim to be Christian if they are not following Jesus’s example?” They are fringe Christians who have lost their way! I tell him Jesus came to expand on the Old Testament and to show us the new way. Thank you for posting this video, very insightful.

Not so, is the Word of God true ? yes John 17:17 Sanctify them in the truth; thy word is truth.
yes, i wish we all could be united to Christ but no one could be as close and united like the Mother of God here the verse quoted was about Mary united in spirited with Jesus one in mind and spirit Mother Mary being the Mother of God, know him more than any human can ever know who suffered and accepted the will of god and offered up everything united with Christ to the Father 1 Corinthians 2:16 “For who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ. here Mary was one with the mind with Christ
Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and for ever.
John 9:31 says we know that God does not listen to sinners, but he does listen to one who worships him and obeys his will. Which Mother did, co-operated by doing His Will in Luke 1:38. Lk 1:28, 30 – angel: “full of grace, found favor with God Lk 1:42 – Elizabeth: “most blessed among women” Lk 1:48 – Mary: “all generations will call me blessed” Mother of God Lk 1:43 – Elizabeth calls her “mother of my Lord” = God.
Isaiah 7:14 14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign. Behold a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and his name shall be called Emmanuel.

Its the Word of God not assumptions Psalm 118 was quoted as everything in the life of the Mother of God is marvelous Revelation11: 19 Then God’s temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant =(The Ark of the covenant Mother Mary) was seen within his temple; and there were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and heavy hail.
The Woman (Mother Mary) and the Dragon = satan
Revelation 12:1-2 A great portent appeared in heaven: a woman (Mother Mary) clothed with the sun (Glory Wisdom 7:26 For she (Mother Mary) is a reflection of eternal light=Jesus John 8:12 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.”, a spotless mirror of the working of God, and an image of his goodness.), with the moon under her feet (Power given to Her in the Church By Jesus on the Cross the last Treasure and the most important before his death only then he could finishes the will of God ), and on her head a crown of twelve stars (12 Apostles and the 12 Tribes of Israel) (Queen of Heaven also Co -redeemer). 2 She was pregnant and was crying out in birth pangs, in the agony of giving birth.
Revelation 21:27 But nothing unclean will enter Heaven, nor anyone who practices abomination or falsehood, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life. But when Jesus is born she had to be without Original Sin a pure vessel to contain Jesus in the womb… Lord Jesus (GOD) had to be born in a women who is sinless. Song of Solomon 4:12 A garden locked is my sister, my bride, a garden locked, a fountain sealed. Song of Solomon 6:9 My dove(Mary), my perfect one, is only one, the darling of her mother, flawless (sinless) to her that bore her. The maidens saw her and called her happy; the queens and concubines also, and they praised her. Song of Solomon 6:4 You (Mary) are beautiful as Tirzah, my love, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners. Song of Solomon 6:10 “Who is this (Mary)that looks forth like the dawn, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army with banners?” Said by the Angles who were all in Awe of Mary a when they seen her in the Empyrean Heaven and acclaimed so

The Jesuit kill oath, if I remember correctly, is some lie from a Jack Chick track, so, completely bogus. If he retorts that it came from a Jesuit priest, the Jesuits have no record of him ever being ordained.

Jeremiah 3:15 “‘And I will give you shepherds (Popes) after my own heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.
The Catholic Church follows and GUIDED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT and JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF THROUGH HIS TRUE CHURCH AND THE POPE who stands in the person of Christ.

A solid promise of Jesus. Psalm 12:6 The promises of the Lord are promises that are pure, silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times.
Catholic Church states traditions as the orally “by the apostles who handed on, by the spoken word of their preaching, by the example they gave, by the institutions they established, what they themselves had received - whether from the lips of Christ, from his way of life and his works, or whether they had learned it at the prompting of the Holy Spirit”; 2 Thessalonians 2:15 So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by our letter.

Indeed. This person she’s talking with loves her so much that he cites lies from known and baseless anti-Catholic propaganda and calls one of the most respected figures in her faith (the Pope) a “dope” out of Christian charity. Some stuff!
