I recognize (and agree) that he has no special authority beyond where he agrees with what was handed down, but when we disagree about what is handed down, the recognized fathers of the church are good sources for the debate. Certainly more so than your internal inter[r You would rather that we merely accept your personal interpretation of scripture as being the same thing as scripture itself. I have not seen any track record in that regard that would cause me to lean toward your interpretation and away from Augustine. In fact, the last discussion I remember (I think it was the bit about the dead having nothing to do with earth) you kept adding words into the text (in parenthesis). Of course the parenthetical additions made all the difference in interpreting the text. In my Book that isn't kosher. Mine says something about avoiding it. Hope the rest of your evening goes well. :) That's hot, I just love what you do with accusation as a group. It's an artform by which you pay no attention to the truthfulness of it and at the same time use it to color another person for as much mileage from it you can get. Can't get around the argument - lie about it and distort. I can see where that'd be useful to your side. Scripture sure hasn't been.

Honestly, Havoc, do you think there's anyone here who doesn't know your opinion of any writer who does not agree with you, of any writing that is not Scripture?
Reggie asked IMRight about Augustine.
IMRight answered about Augustine.
Your interjection of "I don't give a flying fig about Augustine" is rude, if nothing else. Let the boys talk.
