What's up with you and the John Calvin red herring? Seriously - why do you always do that? Do you honestly think monergism was invented by John Calvin? How many times do we have to correct you on this?
Diverting? The subject was "the early christians said..." argument, not monergism. As monergism is correctly defined "That salvation is totally of God" there was never any doubt. As Calminian rightly pointed out, God owes no man anything even if he believes...but this was His sovereignly determined plan...so the fact stands that the early Christians did in fact believe the scriptures are the plumbline of truth and any doctrine, practice, or proposition, not found therein should not be required...they just did not teach this view. Skala was saying their witness is to be respected but implied it is unreliable and I was merely pointing out so was Calvin's...
I also believing the Bible to be the word of God and the truth upon which all our doctrines are to based I find their witness 100% more reliable having learned what these things mean from the Apostles themselves or those they themselves taught and appointed.
