“There is no trace of Protestant distinctives (faith alone, Bible alone) in any patristic writing, including the Holy Scripture itself.”
No, not a trace, not a single, solitary trace, none whatsoever, nope.
You: No, not a trace, not a single, solitary trace, none whatsoever, nope.
Well then, Annalex is not reading the Holy Bible. He could not have said what he did if he really has read the Holy Scriptures. I spent a good deal of time as have many others including you, Belteshazzar, proving repeatedly that Scripture most certainly does teach those very concepts. Sadly, some say they believe Scripture, but we then find they are highly selective in what parts they accept as truth and then only through their religion's own cleverly devised filter. And, of course, that is the very thing we are accused of doing. Funny thing is, we can actually read the verses for ourselves and, just WOW, words in context mean what they say! I kinda think that is how our Lord wanted it.
