Trying to use the early Church Father,s to fight against the Catholic Church is just plain silly,Dear Brother/Sister.

You would be better off to stick with Luther and Calvin and cater the protestant masses.

Saint Gregory of Nyssa along with a slew of others would brand you a heretic for interpreting scripture outside the church,so I would be careful where you are going with all this....

“Who knows not that what separates the Church from heresy is this term, ‘product of creation, ‘ applied to the Son? Accordingly, the doctrinal difference being universally acknowledged, what would be the reasonable course for a man to take who endeavors to show that his opinions are more true than ours?” Gregory of Nyssa, Against Eunomius, 4:6 (inter A.D. 380-384).

Remember, I can hit you with a 10 or 20 to 1 ratio of Church Father,s on most issues you think you can try and interpret them.

In other words ... You,re wasting your time.

Good Night!
I wish you a Blessed Evening

Not hardly, and Gregory said so, very clearly.
