“Here’s a sample but clear refutation of the what you have cut and pasted.”
No it’s not. It mentions Augustine just 5 times, with only two quotes, without any reference to what you claim was refuted, or to any of my arguments.
Also, I did not “copy and paste” my material from a website. I copied it from the actual writings themselves, after reading them personally.
Have you ever actually read even just ONE book of Augustine?
Probably not.
I have not only read Augustine, I had a graduate school class on his writings.
You don’t compare authoritativeness by the “number of times” a person is cited.
Besides, have you read Thomas Aquinas’ Summa Theologica, which is placed next to the Bible in Oxford’s Bordlein Library for its profound interpretations of Scripture?
Have you also read Cardinal Henry Newsman’s writing who as a lead Anglican scholar converted to the Church and founded the renowned Oxford Movement? Or, why not simply review the writings of the foremost American Lutheran theologian Richard Neuhaus, who after many years of teaching in established universities converted to Catholicism. These individuals after a lifetime of scholarship and theological training and instruction had the humility to acknowledge they were hopeless wrong. Even better, consult the great English Essayist, Hillaire Belloc, in his book, “The Great Heresies” for a superb rendition on why all of Protestantism is nothing more than a “cluster of heresies” peddled by mediocre men. I wish this book were made mandatory reading in all high schools.
