"The earlier church fathers placed chief emphasis on good works such as faith, repentance, almsgiving, prayers, submission to baptism, etc., as the basis of salvation."
Typical. Ignore the Church fathers you don't like, take part of what you do like (Augustine) shake it all together and instant new church.
Tertullian got it right in "Against Heretics."
"Typical. Ignore the Church fathers you don't like, take part of what you do like (Augustine) shake it all together and instant new church."
Incredible! So we are to take what all early church fathers say without discernment. All that they say are the equivalent of scripture. Even the Bereans did not think that of Paul but searched the Scriptures to see if it was so. So we are to join the anti Semitic ranks because many of the early church fathers were anti Semites?
