"I understand you need your "Tradition" in order to justify some of your beliefs. The fact remains the only thing we have that we can be absolutely certain is truth are the Scriptures. They were written by the Apostles or those that knew the Apostles. They were not fabricated several generations to hundreds of years after the fact, such as the Protoevangelium of James was to support what has become flawed doctrine."

WF, both the Eucharistic and ecclesiological theology espoused by +Ignatius of Antioch were from a man who was a disciple and correspondent of +John, the successor of +Peter and likely knew Christ. His letters are not "generations to hundreds of years after the fact" and yet Protestantism utterly rejects everything those letters teach. Why? They lay out the exact Eucharistic theology believed in and the exact Church structure manitained by the bishops who decided what made up the canon of the NT that you have such (justified) confidence in.

Here we go again. ;-(

Is this the early theologian who has had his letters forged, so we really don't know which letters are his?
