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.
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??
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.

It's why Christianity rejects roman catholic tradition much as it rejects the mormon claim to have "another" Bible.
Christianity is catholic. You would not have a Bible except for the one holy catholic apostolic church.
The invincible ignorance is astonishing to behold! “ You would not have a Bible except for the one holy catholic apostolic church.” And you put your org in power above GOD with that foolish perspective. Not surprising, since your priesthood claims the power to call JESUS down from Heaven so your priest can continue to sacrifice The LORD CHRIST for Catholic eating.
This is where you argument fails. If it's an unbroken chain as the catholic claims then they will all be on the same message points.
They are not and roman catholicism knows this. When they disagree with the ECF the ECF is dismissed as being wrong.
Christianity is catholic.
Christianity may be catholic in the sense it is universal. Christianity is not roman catholic which is not universal for roman catholicism adds to Christianity. See all the prior discussions regarding the worship of mary, indulgences, etc. You would not have a Bible except for the one holy catholic apostolic church.
Please...we had the Bible before the roman catholic church.
For the group who claims they gave the world the Bible it seems to be the one book they reject the most.
Meaning therefore she is the infallible authority on it, to whom all are to submit, and upon which basis you have your assurance of Truth, versus ascertaining the veracity of Truth claims based upon the evidence?
