“But he IS one of your church fathers, and he denies your statement.”

If you believe in sola scriptura, why are you citing him as authoritative?

Because I figured that you would accept the word of one of your church fathers. Papias CLEARLY states that Matthew was written in Hebrew.

If he is authoritative on this issue, then you’ve just affirmed the teaching authority of the magisterium. You can’t cite the Fathers whenever convenient.

Baloney.

Your choice, accept the magisterium or reject them and stick to sola scriptura.

ROTFLMAO!!!

And why would I do that? Why should we care about what the Fathers of the Church wrote?

“Papias CLEARLY states that Matthew was written in Hebrew.”

And? So what? Who cares? Do you? What books of the bible did he write? Any of them?
