You wrote: “None of the early church fathers “learned the Christian faith from the very mouth of Christ.”

Maybe not, but that wasn’t your original point of complaint. This was: “What is she talking about here? The Bible? What other Apostolic writings are there? Does she consider St. Patrick an Apostle???”

“They all learned the words of Christ from the Holy Scriptures, written and spoken, just like you and I learn.”

No, not just like you and I learn it. I learn it just as the early Church fathers did - within the Church. You don’t. You have appointed yourself your own church in essence. Also, you just said something akin to what Patty Bonds said. Do you really mean to say that Jesus’ words “from the Holy Scripture,” are both written and spoken? How can words from holy scripture be spoken when the very idea of “scriptures” means they were “written” and not just spoken. I think your minor mental lapse is akin to Bond’s.

“The boasting just gets bigger and bigger.”

Who’s boasting? Yours or Bond’s? If she is boasting, then you must be too. Maybe she just mispoke, made a mistake - just like you just did.

LOL. While I realize you'd really like to find some "mistake" in my post, there isn't one.

Perhaps the problem is with the ears.
