"Therefore many other signs Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name." - John 20:30-31

"And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they *were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself *would not contain the books that *would be written." - John 21:24-25

Rome quotes these very well as current day Pharisees, which they practice, for they too added words to the Scriptures that men must follow - But Jesus says unto Rome type Phaisees:

Matthew 23:13: But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

Matthew 23:14: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.

Matthew 23:15: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

Matthew 23:16: Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!

I am saved by grace, not of works, least any man boast. I see Rome boasting and lording it over people all the time. I am IN CHRIST, and Rome cannot take that away from me; I am a son of God (Romans 8:14-15) and Rome cannot take that away; I am heaven bound directly after I die (Rome hopes sooner than later) and Rome cannot take that away from me.

Romans 8:35: Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Romans 8:36: As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Romans 8:37: Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Romans 8:38: For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Romans 8:39: Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

It is impossible for Rome to tell God Almighty to send me to Hell, for I am a child and son of God and saved by grace and not through works and have Christ as my only Redeemer and His blood alone saved me from my sins which have been fully forgiven - Rome cannot take that away from me - for if it tried, it would be fighting against God.

Rome has rejected the counsel of God against themselves. Rome has added many 'commandments' to the counsel of God saving grace. This the Pharisees did also, what was their charge by God: woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees.

I love people so much that I freely provide the Gospel of Grace, as I do now: Repent and believe that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures (I Corinthians 15:3-4)

"Rome quotes..."

I know it must be befuddling to you for Catholics to actually know the Bible better than you. But why shouldn't we, we actually wrote it.
