SINLESS (IMMACULATE CONCEPTION), ETERNAL VIRGIN, AND ASSUMED INTO HEAVEN NOTE - THERE IS NO SALVATION OUTSIDE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH    ...    🇻🇦🇻🇦🇻🇦    ARGUMENT 1 - THE CHURCH IS FOUNDED UPON PETER. PETER IS THE STEWARD (THE SECOND-IN-COMMAND) - PETER IS THE NEW (AMPLIFIED AND PROTECTED) ELIAKIM    In Matthew 16:18-19, Jesus gave to Peter 3 characteristics, Peter: 1. is the Foundation; 2. has the Keys of King Jesus; 3. has the power to bind/loose, and no one can contradict him. ... The Catholic Church is founded upon Peter. Having the Keys of the Kingdom (Jesus is the King; Jesus gave His Keys to the Pope) means that he has the authority to act in Jesus's name and manage the Church and Kingdom of Jesus, so Peter (and his Successor, the Pope) is at the top of the ecclesiastical pyramid of authority, that God put in place. ... To conjugate with this: in Isaiah 22:22-23, God gave 3 characteristics to Eliakim that made him the SECOND-IN-COMMAND (the STEWARD) of the kingdom. So these 3 characteristics made him the STEWARD. Also, it's the steward that carries the keys of the king; the steward has full authority over the kingdom, no one is above him, except the king; the steward represents the king. ... God gave 3 characteristics that made Eliakim the steward (Isaiah 22:22-23); Eliakim: 1. is the (peg) foundation; 2. has the key of the king; 3. has the power to open/close, and no one can contradict him. REMEMBER, Peter: 1. is the (Rock) Foundation; 2. has the Keys of the King, Jesus; 3. has the power to bind/loose, and no one can contradict him.  ... Jesus purposely mirrored this and gave all of these 3 characteristics to Peter, and even amplified them, consequently making Peter the Steward of His Kingdom, with much more promises than Eliakim had.  The characteristics Jesus gave to Peter are extremely more meaningful and amplified than those given to Eliakim; not only did Jesus amplify each of the three characteristics, but He also gave more essential characteristics to Peter (and did not give any negative characteristics to Peter that Eliakim was given).  Ofcourse, Peter is the Rock on which the Catholic Church is built. With this fact alone, all heresy is eliminated. Protestantism appeared in 1500+; false orthodoxy in 1054+; ofcourse, these heresies are not founded upon Peter.  ...The Catholic Church (following the Pope) was exclusive and alone for the entire first Millennium! And it is the only Church founded upon Peter, in which Peter left his Chair, specifically the Roman Catholic Church!    🗝🗝    ARGUMENT 1.1 - PETER=ROCK    Papias of Hierapolis, Clement of Alexandria, and Irenaeus of Lyons all record that the Gospel according to Saint Matthew was originally written in aramaic.  The New Testament we have was written in (Koine) Greek, but Jesus spoke in Aramaic when he changed Simon's name to Cephas. [Cephas is a Hellenised version of Kepha (aramaic); Saint John himself taught that Cephas means Rock (=Petros=…
