[one Lord one faith one baptism]

what is funny is i asked a simple question about the eunuch and couldn’t get a straight yes or no answer.

but since the Nicene Creed states exactly the faith expressed by the eunuch, everyone can see why no answer was provided.

It took you THIS long to come up with THAT? lol! You get straight answers all the time. You just don't seem to like the answers you get. Stop trying to pull a rabbit out of your hat, we've seen it done a million times.

Which gospel did the eunuch have preached to him? Do you even know? Or care?

[don-o]

the Nicene Creed states exactly the faith

It's mildly amusing to see folks here arguing with the Holy Fathers. This has been posted before.

Sola Scriptura In the Vanity of Their Minds

One snip

In this approach to Scriptures, it is not the job of the individual to strive for originality, but rather to understand what is already present in the traditions of the Church. We are obliged not to go beyond the boundary set by the Fathers of the Church, but to faithfully pass on the tradition we received. To do this requires a great deal of study and thought, but even more, if we are to truly understand the Scriptures, we must enter deeply into the mystical life of the Church. This is why when St. Augustine expounds on how one should interpret the Scriptures (bold not in original) [On Christian Doctrine, Books i-iv], he spends much more time talking about the kind of person the study of the Scripture requires than about the intellectual knowledge he should possess:

1. One who loves God with his whole heart, and is empty of pride,
2. Is motivated to seek the Knowledge of God's will by faith and reverence, rather than pride or greed,
3. Has a heart subdued by piety, a purified mind, dead to the world; and who neither fears, nor seeks to please men,
4. Who seeks nothing but knowledge of and union with Christ,
5. Who hungers and thirsts after righteousness,
6. And is diligently engaged in works of mercy and love.
