Then why do you condemn them for rejecting evolution and higher criticism?
The Church Fathers are important guides to be sure but their works are commentaries on the scripture not scripture itself. All individual men are fallible.
Well, well, well. I thought the whole purpose of the article at the head of this thread was to laugh at "fundies" for not accepting the church fathers as authoritative, but now you want to turn around and say they aren't authoritative--at least when it comes to the historicity of the "old testament," eh?
Please don't put words in my mouth and bear false witness. I was clearly talking about a general revisionist view of historical Christianity from Protestants as was touched upon in the follow up conversations in the body of the post.
I am sorry if I wondered off the road and spoke about views Fundie Protestants hold beyond the article.
