What's incorrect is your assumption that 1 Cor.10:1-4 has anything to do with what Jesus is speaking of in Matt. 16

 
 
 
 

 
Micah 6:8
He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.


John 6:28-29
Then they asked him, "What must we do to do the works God requires?
 Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."


1 John 3:21-23
Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him.
And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.


James 1:27
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

21 Reasons to Reject Luther's Tradition of Sola Scriptura:

1. The Doctrine of Sola Scriptura is not taught anywhere in the Bible

2. The Bible Indicates that In Addition to the Written Word, we are to accept Oral Tradition

3. The Bible Calls the Church and not the Bible the "Pillar and Ground of the Truth [Jesus]."

4. Christ tells us to submit to the Authority of the Church

5 Scripture itself states that it is insufficient of itself as a teacher, but rather needs an interpreter.

6. The first Christians did not have a Bible

7. The Church produced the Bible not vice-versa

8. The idea of the Scripture's Authority existing apart from the authority of the Teacher Church is utterly foreign to the Early Church.

9. Heresiarchs and heretical movements based their doctrines on Scripture interpreted apart from Tradition and the Magisterium.

10. The Canon of the Bible was not settled until the 4th Century.

11. An "Extra-Biblical" Authority Identified the Canon of the Bible.

12. The Belief that Scripture is "Self-Authenticating" Does Not Hold Up under Examination

13. None of the Original Biblical Manuscripts is Extant.

14. The Biblical Manuscripts Contain Thousands of Variations

15. There Are Hundreds of Bible Versions.

16. The Bible Was Not Available to Individual Believers until the invention of the printing press in the 15th Century.

17. The Doctrine of Sola Scriptura Did Not Exist Prior to the 14th Century.

18. The Doctrine of Sola Scriptura Produces Bad Fruit, Namely, Division and Disunity.

19. The Doctrine of Sola Scriptura Does Not Allow for a Final, Definitive Interpretation of any given Passage of Scripture.

20. The Protestant Bible Is Missing 7 Entire Books

21. The Doctrine of Sola Scriptura Had its Source in Luther’s Own Emotional Problems.

I’ll leave it to you to explain what Micah 6:8, John 6:28-29, etc., have to do with Matt 16:18 and 1 Cor 10:1-4.

Btw, when I earlier used the word "religion" in a reply to a fellow Catholic, Metmom jumped in and called it "pathetic." You should refrain from quoting James 1:27 as you just did:

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

That sort of thing might cause her some serious cognitive dissonance. "Religion" is apparently a bad thing for her. Though not necessarily so in Scripture.
