LOL.

Sure, Faith Alone is right out of Augustin. So is Scripture Alone, and most of all, Self and Self Alone.

That bit Christ Himself said about how those who had been grafted in could be cut off and cast in the fire? He didn't mean it. That's what is says, but that's not what it mean. Right?

Christ and the Apostles never mentioning that there were seven books in the Septuagint that shouldn' t be there? Minor oversight and even Augustin threw out the same seven books, right?

. Insisting that the Holy Spirit cannot and did not protect the Word of God from the inclusion of error from several hundred years prior to Christ until Luther? Yeah, Augustin was big on denying the power of the Holy Spirit which in effect means denying the Trinity. It denies the Trinity since an imperfect Holy Spirit could not be a part of the Trinity.

Right, just brought Augustin to the masses. Sure. I forgot to mention Calvin was a French lawyer who grew up with all the benefits of the upper class due to his father being on the payroll of the Catholic Church.

But I get your point. One can always trust lawyers from well off families who run city political machines and drunks who are protected by nobility as their rationalization for illegally seizing Church property.

Gotcha.
