“”Justin Martur and Irenaeus don’t quote any 1st century Ignatius.””
I’m not sure if this is true(perhaps dear Dangus knows) but I said that Irenaues and Justin Martyr believed many of the same things Ignatius believed. ie; The Eucharist being truly Christ and the Church being called Catholic

“”95% of the New Testament can be reproduced from the writings of the ante-Nicene fathers.””

This means that you trust these Blessed men who believed the Eucharist to be the “actual” Body and Blood of Christ to tell you the Bible is the word of God.
Like it or not, Dear Friend,you trust them to tell you the authenticity of the Scripture’s being from the Apostles since they are not signed by the Apostles

BTW , Chip, are you also of the same belief as diego1618 -one of these people who believe that satan had intercourse with eve and produced cain?

Off to enjoy the game.

I wish you peace of mind in your search!

It has always been considered good "form" to ping those of whom you look down your nose at.....publicly. Unless, of course....you are hesitant for some reason.
