Mike, I already know the answer. I was wondering if other folks knew or even thought about it. Many people virtually worship the Bible as if it can open up and start speaking and interpret itself. Of course, that is not the case. But folks wrongly or rightly use it alone for guidance without evening questioning what gives it the authority that people give it.

Folks, I haven't read the article, but if you do read the above article, please read many more from many sources including from the Church that canonized the bible. Then you can base your opinion on many sources, not one. The one source could possibly be seriously biased and agenda driven and without authority.

Sound advice!

Do the Church Fathers mean anything to you?

Only when it comes to an opinion, but not sufficient to produce complete certainty.
