RE: To adopt another man ‘s opinion about an original document is not being fair to yourself.
Sigh, I despair of ever getting you to even discuss the source that you wish me to look at.
What are we to do? Do you want me to cut and paste the ENTIRE work of Augustine?
For our edification and for the purpose of this discussion, let’s limit it to one of Augustine’s writings which was in dispute — Whether or not Augustine was SURE as the sun rises in the East that the passage of Matthew 16 truly refers to Peter as the rock that Jesus Christ was referring to.
Could you point me to the EXACT Augustinian passage that shows this? You can cut and paste the exact passage from your source.
Better still, let me help you -— here is a compedium of the works for the church fathers:

Scroll down to the part that says : St. Augustine Volumes
You can start by cutting and pasting for me the exact Augustinian passage you think I misunderstand concerning Peter.
. I can use it as a concordance for key words but not phrases in any early church fathers writings. I do not know how perfect but pretty good when I last used it.
Cheers!
