[one Lord one faith one baptism]

do you even know who St Irenaeus was? He was a Catholic who believed in baptismal regeneration, the Real Presence, apostolic succession, only One Holy Catholic Church, the sacrifice of the Mass, Mary as the second Eve.......

still want to try and use St Irenaeus as proof of “sola scriptura”? why not quote any Baptists from the second century? oh yeah, that’s right, there weren’t any, my mistake.

Because the Catholics weren't a threat to Nero and to Rome at that time, but the Christians were and they were thus driven underground - those who weren't were martyred.

So Catholics began in 33AD, huh. John the Baptist was in ministry before Jesus Christ.

Beat that.

I understand why you would want to change the subject, but we WERE talking about the ECF's views of the authority of Scripture. Please see my next post to you.
