Where does Scripture say that every religious fact is contained in Scripture?

"Listen to the Church." --Jesus

Show us the verse where Jesus makes that command.

Or is that just another out of context snippet of Scripture?

Oh, that - which really means Rome as the One True Church®, and as the supreme authority - is extrapolated out of the premise that an assuredly (if conditionally) infallible magisterium is essential for determination and assurance of Truth (including writings and men being of God) and to fulfill promises of Divine presence, providence of Truth, and preservation of faith, and authority.

And that being the historical instruments and stewards of Divine revelation (oral and written) means that Rome is that assuredly infallible magisterium. Thus those who dissent from the latter are in rebellion to God.

As if this is what Scripture teaches, which it manifestly does not, as may be explained to any RC that defends it.

>>Show us the verse where Jesus makes that command.<<

That command or admonition is not found in scripture. As a matter of fact, we are told to check what they or anyone teaches against shat scripture teaches.

Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

That "listen to the church" is cultic in origin. It's not from scripture.
