So you've abandoned the non-biblical doctrine of sola scriptura? That's encouraging!

I must have missed that one. No, I go strictly by scripture alone. The church fathers are a swell bunch of guys (at least some of them) but when it comes to verifying what God has to say, I don't need to refer back to a church father's writings.

[Petronski]

If you are sticking with sola scriptura you are referring back to a church "father's" writings and not to Scripture.

The false doctrine sola scriptura is not Scriptural.
