Thanks. Great work. Should we call Chrysostom the “patron saint” of Evangelicals:)

Thanks be to God.

From what i have seen such early souls were committed chaste pious men, and while being in error on some things as they developed their theology, and lacking the degree of accumulated study and light thru others that we take too much for granted, yet they were God-fearing men of faith, often in suffering, as his faith was tried.

And who, as with Puritans and historical fundamentalists, would be aghast at our superficiality and moral laxity today. (While i am aghast as the spin Jerome puts on Scripture trying to justify his unbalanced view of virginity vs marriage, in which he was not alone.)

Kid of like as in the Time Changers vid (trailer), though they lay too much blame of the social gospel listing of the well-meaning professor.
