Make up you mind. Why dismiss the testimony of one of John’s disciples when you swallow whole a book that is not actually signed by John?

Ah, shouldn't that be, "Make uppa you mind."? :o)

I haven't done that. It was meant as a joke. However, what evidence do we really have that Ignatius both was a disciple of John or that John approved of everything Ignatius spoke? You also must realize that there are fraudulent works all over the place and not everything from that time is exactly as it is said to be. There has been much conjecture and wishful thinking on a lot of this. That is why I am convinced God gave us the Holy Bible as our authority. It is to the Scriptures that we must always go to ensure what we preach and believe is true.

St Ignatius letters must be attacked, because if they are true, Protestantism must be false. Of course, the fact that when St Ignatius wrote these letters, as attested to and quoted by other Fathers, he could not have known of the 16th century rebels, could he?
