The best!
I think the “truth” the early church fathers spoke of is the truth of who God is, (the Deity of Jesus and God’s plan of salvation for us). Of that there can really be no debate - Jesus is Lord of all or He is not Lord at all.
Everyone knows Sirach is just a cookbook of what dishes go well with the hot sauce.
So few words that say so much...
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” - John 1:1
We know that there are 5 “Solas” in our foundational doctrine. Neither of the 5 stands alone, all 5 interlace to form the whole doctrine with Christ at the center, and each is absolutely necessary.
The five solas state that Christians are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, as revealed by Scripture alone, to the glory of God alone.
The 66 books were written and accepted within the 1st century AD.
Guess FB encrypted my YT link - here’s the same link for YT:

Great, the books have been picked. See #32. So which of the early texts do we use for some of them?
Yep, numbers have meanings. Why in the world do you have a problem with a number? 6 is the number for man, 66 speaks to both the physical and spiritual man and nothing wrong with that.
666 is the Antichrist claiming to be God and ordering mankind to worship him.
Quite frankly I’m not a fan of Stiracha sauce. It’s no doubt good but doesn’t appeal to me.
I kinda like Dave’s insanity sauce
Jesus is literally the Word of God: incarnate, eternal, and everlasting. Everything seen and unseen that was made, is made, or will be made, is by him and for him. Everything consist and is held together by him.
Jesus is God revealed. Mary can’t do anything for you except provide a warm fuzzy feeling based on a lie.
Experience is found wanting in light.
The 73 books were all written before 100 AD.
Note that the 73 books are God inspired, but we have the actual Word of God, Jesus, with us

Funny you mention Dave’s. Was just in a hot sauce specialty store recently and noticed they now have something like 10 different varieties.
In the book of Revelation which uses numbers for meanings, we have
3, the number of God
4, the number of earth
3 + 4 =7 as the number of completion.
6 as the number of INcompletion.
3x4=12 as God working in earth.
Repeating 3 times is also the Hebrew superlative like HOLY, HOLY, HOLY as “the holiest”.
Similarly 666 is “the most incomplete”
66 is very incomplete
Watch the 2018 movie/documentary I posted. Lots of good preaching and teaching at oneplace.com too.
Eye of the needle refers to the sheep gate, 1 of 12 gates in the wall around Jerusalem, which was only big enough for sheep. To get a camel through required ropes around the camel and many people pushing and pulling. I learned about this from John MacArthur who imho is the best modern day preacher / teacher at oneplace.com which also has many others who are also on the link I provided. May God richly bless you!
Watch the movie / doc I listed - the 66 books are not just my opinion plus good explanation why the others were ‘added’. Here’s more research for you regarding God’s eternal Word - See Ivan Panin a Russian mathematician.
Oops wrong link (rarely trust the 1st returned in search)

Also Jesus preached the most about hell or separation / judgement from God. God is love so to be separated eternally from ‘love’ is a good description of hell.
