What members of your church attended the Council of Nicea to fend off the gnostic and Arian heresies? Which of them put down the pelagius heresy.
Where was your church during the Council of Constantinople that settled the matter of the filoque?
Can you identify the members that helped to define the doctrine of the hypostatic union? Which of them was present at both Hippo and Carthage ordering the canon of the New Testament?
I must prepare to travel this weekend, and therefore do not have the freedom to answer your sitting duck questions just now. Perhaps after the traveling is over. But I already dealt with literal interpretation in an earlier post. Your questions challenge the validity of some church denomination rather than the method of interpretation, so they are essentially indirect ad hominem type sideswipes anyway. So, later.
