The Lord Jesus Christ said it best...
“And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.” —Matthew 23:9
God is the only Father of His Church.
“But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.” —James 3:17
“Then Peter opened hismouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:” —Acts 10:34
Eusebius:
Collected the writings of Origen and promoted his false teachings. Constantine hired Eusebius to produce some Greek New Testaments. Many textual authorities have identified Vaticanus and Sinaiticus, as two of the copies of the Greek New Testament made by Eusebius. Said authorities have charged Eusebius with making many changes in the text of Scripture. Many of the noted omissions in the modern versions can be traced to this period, such as Mark 16:9-20 and John 8:1-11.
Jerome:
Proponent of the manmade doctrine of believing the state of virginity to be spiritually superior to that of marriage and demanding that church leaders be unmarried. He lived as a hermit, contrary to the Bible’s command to go forth and preach the gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15). Believed in the veneration of “holy relics” and the bones of dead Christians. Sounds more like voodoo or santeria than the Biblical Christian Faith imo. Taught the manmade doctrine that saints in heaven hear the prayers of men on earth, intercede on their behalf, and send them help from above. This isn’t found in scripture anywhere. Taught that Mary became instrumental in helping to redeem mankind. Believed in the blessing of ‘holy water’ which is now one of the most beloved manmade traditions in the Roman Catholic religion. Expressed hatred toward those that strived to follow the Biblical 1st Century New Testament Church model.
Ambrose:
Taught manmade doctrines such as Christians should be devoted to Mary, encouraged the manmade tradition of monasticism, and believed in prayers to the saints. Believed that the church has the authority to forgive sins. Taught the manmade doctrine of ‘virginity is holier than marriage’ and encouraged young women not to marry. Another manmade doctrine he believed in was offering prayers for the dead.
Augustine:
Instigated persecutions against Bible-believers who were striving to maintain biblical churches, which only include those whom have come to repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10) and rebirth (John 3:3). This paved the way for the multibillion dollar business model that is today’s denominational building-based religion. By opening the ‘church’ so-called to those outside God’s called out ekklesia of reborn believers (John 3:3) this allows for more people in the pews, thus more money for the gold plates, more unbiblical mandatory tithes..more CONTROL for the gatekeepers of weekend religion. Augustine also taught that baptism and the Lord’s Supper are means of salvation..false gospel = accursed (Galatians 1:9). Taught the manmade doctrine that infants should be baptized, and that the baptism took away their sin. He called all who rejected infant baptism “infidels” and “cursed.” Taught that Mary did not sin and played a vital role in one’s salvation. Preached the manmade doctrine of purgatory. He exalted the authority of the church over that of the Bible, declaring, “I should not believe the gospel unless I were moved to do so by the authority of the Catholic Church” (quoted by John Paul II, Augustineum Hyponensem, Apostolic Letter, Aug. 28, 1986). He believed that the true interpretation of Scripture is derived from the declaration of church councils (Augustin, De Vera Religione, xxiv, p. 45). This is contrary to what God’s Word says (1 John 2:27) and serves as a means for manmade religion to usurp more CONTROL. He also laid the blueprint for the manmade religion of calvinism by preaching that God has pre-ordained some for salvation and others for damnation. Which contradicts God’s Word (1 John 2:2, Romans 2:11, 2 Corinthians 5:14-15, John 3:16, 1 Timothy 2:4, 2 Peter 3:9, Hebrews 2:9).
John Chrysostom:
Taught that religious tradition can be equal in authority to God’s Word, which is in opposition to God’s Word (Mark 7:6-9). Also believed in the manmade mystical bread doctrine.
Cyril:
Promoted the veneration of Mary and called her the Theotokos, or bearer of God. In 412, Cyril instigated persecution against the Donatists.
“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” —1 John 4:1
