Not one of those references support the RCC. For example, Matt. 16 does not found a "church" (if you understand Greek). Jesus is describing a gathering that will be found on the confession that He is the Christ. It is your organization which claims that Peter is the first pope based on this statement. Such self-aggrandizement is laughable, were it not so pathetic. Read the text. There is NO Roman Catholic Church.

But, what is supported is predestination, election, and grace, alone. No Rome, no pope, no baggage.

**There is NO Roman Catholic Church.**

We’ve been trying to tell all the non-Catholics that it is not the Rom an Church, but the Latin Rite of the Catholic Church — joining 21 other rites around the world. The wording is wrong.

When will non-Catholics get it right?

Throw out part of Scripture as in

Sirach 15:12 Say not : He hath caused me to err : for He hath no need of wicked men.
Sirach 15:13 The Lord hateth all abomination of error, and they that fear Him shall not love it.
Sirach 15:14 God made man from the beginning, and left him in the hand of his own counsel.
Sirach 15:15 He added His commandments and precepts.
Sirach 15:16 If thou wilt keep the commandments and perform acceptable fidelity for ever, they shall preserve thee.
Sirach 15:17 He hath set water and fire before thee : stretch forth thy hand to which thou wilt.
Sirach 15:18 Before man is life and death, good and evil, that which he shall choose shall be given him :
Sirach 15:19 For the wisdom of God is great, and He is strong in power, seeing all men without ceasing.
Sirach 15:20 The eyes of the Lord are towards them that fear Him, and he knoweth all the work of man.
Sirach 15:21 He hath commanded no man to do wickedly, and He hath given no man license to sin :
Sirach 15:22 For He desireth not a multitude of faithless and unprofitable children.

and you can dupe people into believing Satanic garbage like Calvinism which is named after attorney Calvin the little dictator who sent troops to help the Caliphate attack and slaughter Christians.

Satan always appeals to human ego and what feeds human ego more than proclaiming yourself "elect" the same way little kiddies proclaim themselves to be "elite hackers" because they can download a script?

Besides, following Eve rather than Jesus Christ is so much easier than bearing the cross of being slandered and lied about by those who rely on their Self and Self Alone according to the heresy of Sola Yourselfa.
