The selection of large numbers of individuals is not supported Biblically,

LOL. Once again we see the RCC teaches a very impersonal salvation.

ROMANS 9:11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to ELECTION might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)

ROMANS 11:5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the ELECTION of grace.
7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the ELECTION hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the ELECTION, they are beloved for the father's sakes.

1 THESSALONIANS 1:4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your ELECTION of God.

2 PETER 1:10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and ELECTION sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall

I don’t believe it was a coincidence that the Book of Romans was written to the Church in Rome. Too bad they never bothered to read it.

“LOL Once again, we see that the RCC teaches a very impersonl salvation”

It amazes me that statements made like this are expected to be received as if they were a gospel truth.

What you have written is not the truth. And because of that fact, it isn’t something to LOL about.

(I guess I’m weary of all the lol-ing on this thread—and on this forum).

Once again your understanding falls short.

We believe in an extremely personal salvation. Each of us is to face the Lamb in Judgement. Even your examples, intended to show that man doesn’t matter in his own salvation, do.
