Well, sorry, most scholars would disagree with you.
Second, the Protestant view on the Fathers is that they are only to regarded when they follow the Scriptures...Yours is when they follow the Church.
The Church does not follow Scripture? One could also say that Protestants regard others only if they personally agree with their interpretation of the Scripture.
Our final authority is the 66 Books, yours is of consensus of men
The 66 books you follow are put together by a consensus of men!
Chrysostom said regarding scripture, that every word was pure, directly from the Prophets and Apostles, and when one read the scriptures, it was as if they were there speaking directly to them
Yeah, but who decides what is scripture?
He placed all tradition as being subject to the scriptures
...which were decided by a consensus of men.
You flatly rejected what he said on the subject
First, we don't have any originals (not even original copies of the originals!), so we can't state that reading the scriptures is like the Apostles and prophets speaking to us directly.
Chrysostom did that on his own assumption, and so do others who agree with him. It's their choice, their personal belief based on nothing but hope, not on fact.
Second, the books of the Bible are anonymous. Ignatius and Papias are the first people (2nd century) who are identifying certain writings with "Matthew."
There is an awful lot of assuming in that statement of John Chrysostom, none of which is historically factual.
Well, most scholars would be wrong, the scriptures and the historical evidence show otherwise.
You cannot prove one quote in the New Testament came from the LXX.

Your Church is a consensus of men over the centuries.
You add tradition to scripture and thus nullify it (Mk.7-7-13).
For the Protestant his final authority is the word of God and that is where the final appeal is to.
We don't make our appeals to tradition or what any man has said unless it is supported by the scriptures.

No, it was put composed by men under the control of the Holy Spirit.
And the evidence of the correctness of the Books was attested to by Him.

God does.(2Tim.3:16, Heb.4:12)
God reveals what is true to the believer through the Holy Spirit (Gen.40:8) and by comparing scripture with scripture (2Pe.1:20)
He placed all tradition as being subject to the scriptures ...which were decided by a consensus of men.
No, the scriptures were from God and recognized by men.

What we have is a perfect preservation of what God wanted us to have (Ps.12:6-7)
Chrysostom did that on his own assumption, and so do others who agree with him. It's their choice, their personal belief based on nothing but hope, not on fact.
Well, nevertheless, Luther's view and the Protestant view is a return to that view held by a revered Greek Church Father, not a novel 16th idea.
Second, the books of the Bible are anonymous. Ignatius and Papias are the first people (2nd century) who are identifying certain writings with "Matthew."
So now you are denying the authorship anbd validly of the book of Matthew?
There is an awful lot of assuming in that statement of John Chrysostom, none of which is historically factual.
No, Chrysostom had it right and it is you who are assuming that God can't preserve what He gave to men to have, His perfect words.
