For the benefit of those not following our discussion. You asked another if they agreed with your tagline:
( I would not believe in the Gospel if the authority of the Catholic Church did not move me to do so.)
I responded: "Of course not, I believe in the Gospel because of the power of the Holy Spirit, given as a gift by the Author and Perfector of my faith Jesus."
You then posted: Okay; is there anything that you believe from St. Augustine, or any other Church Father, or Apostle?
I responded: "Apostle
Do you mean to say that the Apostles would disagree with my statement? That I doubt my FRiend.
I believe I answered that question in that the Apostles surely would agree with me. Paul surely does since it an amalgamation of what he preached. While I know there are some Catholics that are dismissive of Paul even though we have heard ad nauseum that the Catholic Church decided the Canon and Paul made the cut, I would think that all church fathers as you put it would agree as well. If not, than one would have to question their Christian faith.
Again, surely you don't mean to say that my statement was contrary to the teachings of the Apostles are you?
I was not clear on the matter; that is why I asked for a more clear cut definition. You responded "Apostle". Now what does that mean? Does that mean that anything that any Apostle wrote is something that you will accept?
