Your argument fails. You've yet to be able to explain how roman catholicism accepts one ECF on a topic, while rejecting him on another topic, while claiming the "tradition",which is supposed to be one, was passed on to these guys.

Did some not get the message??

It's why Christianity rejects roman catholic tradition much as it rejects the mormon claim to have "another" Bible.

The ECF’s don’t even agree with each other and at least one of them is known to be fraudulent work, but I don’t remember which one it was. Iscool mentions that several times.

And then Catholics can’t figure out what we don’t trust their teaching or believe their claim that *sacred tradition* = the authority of Scripture.

They’re built on the sinking sand of opinion pieces of men.

And I should trust them with my eternal destiny?

I. DON’T. THINK. SO.

I couldn’t even be sure of which ECF I should believe.

My argument stands. Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah, The Rock, the Holy One of Israel and He built His church, one holy catholic apostolic church on Cephas, the other Apostles and Prophets, with Himself as the chief cornerstone.

I understand the Early Church Fathers as an unbroken historical chain of the one holy catholic apostolic church, each one of them with gifts from the Father excersised and refined according to their faith and obedience, combined their human frailties. I am not rebelling, or protesting, against what the LORD Jesus Christ said. I do not continually oppose the one holy catholic apostolic church that He built on Cephas and the other apostles. As it is written, Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
Ephesians, Catholic chapter two, Protestant verses nineteen to twenty two,
as authorized, but not authored, by King James

Christianity is catholic. You would not have a Bible except for the one holy catholic apostolic church.
