I marvel at how the presenter can present his subject matter with such a sense of "credibility." Never saying anything of how "Ignatius writings" and those of the other "apostolic fathers" have been interpolated. These writings are so polluted with additions from other mystery writers, that they are not trustworthy. We don't really know who wrote many of the statements. Was it Ignatius or some later writer who wanted us to think it was Ignatius. I am only referring to the two sets of seven letters that Ignatius wrote, because eight others (accredited to Ignatius) have been found to be complete forgeries.

approvedofGod Christianity as a whole is pure identity theft and replacement theology. As you read the Hebrew Bible it becomes apparent Christianity is not the system of faith the apostles developed instead the Romans perverted the Hebrew heritage while oppressing the Jews.

[@larrykreeger7464]

I'm just curious what proof you have that the writings were interpolated or polluted?

[@bobhawkins2997]

I get your point. This is just a familiarization talk, not a conversation of textual criticism. The letters of the apostolic fathers should not be considered scripture, nor should they be ignored. They are secondary supportive documents.

The truth is many many Christ believers they gave up their life for what Jesus promised, it is tue everlasting life. He redeemed and rescued us from the pit of hell. Stop doubting and believe what Jesus had done for us on the cross to save us, hallelujah!

[@ralphowen3367]

Yes. A current presentation on Polycarp-- or maybe it was Ignatius--was ointerpreted by Lightfoot who was a 19th century Bishop and good buds with the scripture twister Westcott. I perceived in Polycarps alleged writings there were interpolations by Lightfoot.

You did not read the full letter to the people of Smyrna hahaha

I love Ignatius of Antioch. His letters are so inspiring.
