You comeplain about the Fathers of the Church.

I complain about who you call the 'fathers' of the church because unlike the NT writers who are in agreement, your 'fathers' don't agree with the NT writers, much less each other. You quote them when it befits you to do so and dismiss them when it befits you to do so - that's not authority, it's chaos. If I write a book and say one thing right in the entire volume, it doesn't make the book a bearer of truth, the truth is incidental to the work.

We are doubting the veracity of an ex-jebbie who may be trying to make a living by dumping on the Church.

Oh, I almost forgot the 'anyone who writes a book is out for profit and doesn't really speak from authority' approach. Perhaps that is the point of all the NI & O books put out. If they don't tell the church story with the inerrant nature they are supposed to portray by bearing the stamp, the stamp must be worthless and the authors out to make a buck. Now that's an application of this approach I hadn't considered LOL.
