From what I saw you posted one verse then let that verse stand on it’s own with only the one interpretation by the RCC. No other scripture to support that meaning. That’s a huge problem with the RCC. Others show other scripture that refutes the RCC meaning of that scripture and you deny that scripture refutes the RCC interpretation. If a belief about a portion of scripture is to be considered correct it must be supported by other scripture. Typically the rule is at least three other sources within scripture to support the meaning.

The principle of Scripture is that everything should be established by two to three witnesses.

It's pretty prevalent in the OT also.

If all one can find is one out of context verse to support something, that's not enough. THAT is twisting Scripture.

Matthew 18:15-17 15 "If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. 16But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. 17If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.

2 Corinthians 13:1-3 1 This is the third time I am coming to you. Every charge must be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. 2 I warned those who sinned before and all the others, and I warn them now while absent, as I did when present on my second visit, that if I come again I will not spare them— 3since you seek proof that Christ is speaking in me. He is not weak in dealing with you, but is powerful among you.

1 Timothy 5:19 Do not admit a charge against an elder except on the evidence of two or three witnesses.

Hebrews 10:28 Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses.
