So I guess when they trace their history from the beginning and are still in existence for two thousand years as a historical church as Greek speaking believers they must be wrong. Because I do not see it from my view of scripture which is newer ideas than from old hand downs from original church fathers.

So they are in error on language.

It is like someone who does not know the language but thinks he can correct with Greek dictionary. Just amazing.

Who are these “church fathers” that the predate the Scriptures?

Not at all! You are fluent in English but does that mean no one but a native speaker can correct your usage of the language?
The Pharisees certainly could read and understand Hebrew and had read “Honor your father and your mother...” yet they by their tradition perverted the meaning of “honor” into something quite different.

Look at the use of the word “priest”. No Christian held the office of priest in the Scriptures, so where is the justification for anyone claiming to be such?
