There then is also no evidence whatsoever that the NT gospel “originals” ever existed either. All we have are copies of copies of copies.

You have an Ecumenical Council which established the authenticity of the Bible. What Council ruled on the letters of Ignatius?

Again, much like the gospel books we have - at least as agreed on by most scholars.

Not true, but even if it were, what Council or Pope acting Ex Cathedra made this "infallible" judgement?

No, actually I have history, archeology and the Church to bolster the truth. You have the claims. We have Christianity in its fullness.

You do not have the Church. The "Church" has not acted upon the veracity of the letters.

You have wishful thinking and imagination, nothing else.

Since you don’t believe in ecumenical councils (e.g. Trent) your question is pointless.

“Not true, but even if it were, what Council or Pope acting Ex Cathedra made this “infallible” judgement?”

Why would that even be necessary?

“You do not have the Church. The “Church” has not acted upon the veracity of the letters.”

We do have the Church. The Church doesn’t have to act upon the “veracity” of the letters and you wouldn’t believe it anyway. You don’t honor ecumenical councils.

“You have wishful thinking and imagination, nothing else.”

No, again, I have the Church, history and the archeology. You have nothing.
