Exactly! And why would we replace the scriptures w/the “authority” of the “early church fathers”? I don’t get it. I’ll go w/Paul and his epistles, and they contradict Catholicism. The post yesterday about that brainy evangelical raised church historian guy converting to Cathoicism because of the “early fathers” contradicting the idea of salvation through faith alone didn’t convince me because I don’t put my trust in those men, I put it in the Bible alone; after that I judge by the scriptures what anyone says, “early church fathers” or whomever!
...but you put your faith in the Catholic Church and its early church fathers to tell you what books should be in the bible?
“I’ll go w/Paul and his epistles, and they contradict Catholicism.”
No they don’t, but you are welcome to believe anything you please.
