And you repeat YOPIOS despite the facts like:

FACT: St. Ambrose WAS born into a Christian family --> look it up for yourself.

FACT: yes, he wasn't baptised as an infant, because that was not widespread in the 3rd century until St. Augustine

FACT: You misunderstood that to say that "Not surprising coming from a man who went from being a pagan to a Bishop in your church in about 2 weeks time"

Now that is a common sola interpretura error which also plays out in the sola's folks's reading of The Bible -- you folks may read one thing like " St Ambrose was baptized, " and ASSUME that he was born a pagan. That error comes from not having a complete knowledge and presuming that the incomplete knowledge is complete -- you didn't lie, but you made an incorrect assumption based on incomplete and misunderstood facts. That is the folly of relying on an individuals (as opposed to a community of believers stretching back 2000 years) interpretation.

I didn't know St Ambrose's history is written in the Bible. In what book may I find it.
