Yes!!!!Protestantism is 100 percent fabricated. I trust commentaries that were not tainted by the Protestant-Roman Catholic schism before I'll trust anything from Luther or even St. Thomas Aquinas for that matter. The Church Fathers were far closer to the source than either you or I. I'm saying it height of arrogance to presume your own infallibility in your sectarian understanding of the scriptures that evolved out of the same philosophy that later gave birth to militant atheism and nihilism.

Only if the Bible is fabricated....is it?

Are they infallible? To what authority do they appeal for legitimacy? Could they not err?

If Protestants appeal to Scripture, which is God-breathed, how is that untrustworthy? How are fallible church fathers more reliable than anyone else? If we're appealing to temporal proximity, wouldn't you trust the Scriptures first?

Saying you believe the church fathers because they are closer in time to the events ignores those who were there and heard with their own ears and saw with their own eyes.

You need to do better than that.
