This is not entirely accurate, Judy. Sometimes the church fathers and the Scriptures DO agree. I don't see Bill as having his faith rooted in the church fathers. Rather, he considers their views, and he compares the views of modern theologians too, comparing them with Scripture, and he hopes for the leading of the Holy Spirit to guide him to the proper understanding of Scripture. The primary difference between you two, from my perspective, is that you focus more upon Scripture and the Holy Spirit as your teacher, excluding other influences. In contrast, Bill opens himself up a great deal to other sources of information. Peace be with you.
