Lots of comments, but we don't see much evidence of anything.

And his point is "The Church Fathers said...." WHAT "church?" "WHAT "fathers?" All this "THEY...." "THEY....." Without identifying who "THEY" are. There is no universal list of who is and is not a "church father." He OCCASIONALLY identifies ONE statement of ONE man but mostly it's "THEY.... THEY...." (whoever "they" are).

No denomination teaches that the Fathers were always right. And these are the same fathers who taught infant baptism and real presence so can we assume that he accepts what those same men taught on those things?

Interesting he calls Clement "The third POPE." You don't hear too many Protestants suggest that the Catholic Papacy existed so early and supporting the unique RCC claim. One of MANY things he says that's just, well, weird. And a lot of inaccurate things.

He says "THEY" (?) taught that Mary was not a perpetual virgin. Well, SOME taught that and SOME taught she was. I caught a number of those.

Why a few men ("THEY") RATHER than Scripture, Councils, Creeds?

And I see lots of illogic. For example, how does "God does not force anyone" equal "man has free will" which equals "no one can choose God but rather the Holy Spirit does this." A lot of that kind of thing.

He confuses foreknowledge with predestination.... and he confuses the Greek concept of predistination with the biblical teaching of election. He quotes men talking about predestination.... yet argues they don't accept predestination. He argues "THEY" "all" teach "free will" but never IN WHAT? About what?

He says PAUL taught that no one is elected. Of course, he can't actually quote Paul because Paul DID teach election.

He teaches that "THEY" rejected predestination. OBVIOUSLY he never read St. Augustine and a lot of others!

He confuses choosing evil and disbelief with choosing good and faith - just because one is true doesn't mean the other is.

He confuses justication with sanctification; Law with Gospel. The ability to choose good or evil does not mean man has free will in justification- it only means they can choose good and evil. Lots of that sort of confusion.

Pretty bad.
