>Has anyone here read BOTH the church fathers and the protestant reformers? Did you come out of it a catholic or a protestant?
I became an Evangelical Anglican. It's like the perfect balance.

Because Protestant nations had higher literacy rates because every child was taught to read the Bible.

Because ecclesia semper reformanda est. We are constantly examining ourselves to maintain purity of our doctrine and practice. That is why our tradition writes lots.

That is why Methodism is in the awful state it is in because they don't examine themselves.

You have a good friend. He is starting you off right.
I would supplement these with a good catechism, either the Heidelberg catechism or the Westminster catechisms.

Interestingly enough I read about your kind today.
>It is a most unsound method of reasoning to take one or two expressions out of a book which has been written as one great whole, to place a certain meaning upon those expressions, and then refuse to inquire whether that meaning can be reconciled with the general spirit of the rest of the book. The beginning of every heresy and erroneous tenet in religion may be traced to this kind of reasoning, and to unfair and partial quotations.

>This is precisely the Roman Catholic’s argument, when he wants to prove the doctrine of transubstantiation. “I read,” he says, “these plain words: ‘This is my body — this is my blood.’ I want no more. I have nothing to do with your explanations and quotations 99 from other parts of the Bible. Here is quite enough for me. The Lord Jesus Christ says, ‘This is my body.’ This settles the question.”

>This again is precisely the Arian’s argument, when he wants to prove that the Lord Jesus Christ is inferior to the Father. “I read,” he says, “these plain words: ‘My Father is greater than I.’” It is in vain, you tell him, that there are other texts which show the Son to be equal with the Father, and give a different meaning to the one he has quoted. It matters not. He rests on the one single text that he has chosen to rest on, and he will hear nothing further.

>This also is precisely the Socinian’s argument, when he wants to prove that Jesus Christ is only a man, and not God. “I read,” he tells us, “these plain words: ‘The man Christ Jesus.’ — Do not talk to me about other passages which contradict my view. All I know is, here are words which cannot be mistaken — ‘The man Christ Jesus.’”
