Now the virginity of Mary was hidden from the prince of this world, as was also her offspring, and the death of the Lord; three mysteries of renown, which were wrought in silence, but have been revealed to us. (St. Ignatius: Letter to the Ephesians; Ch 19)
I’m quite sure you looked it up already. Yes the verse, see above, is authentic. You can throw all sorts of things about satan and evil at the verse but it still remains authentic. Truth matters and it will matter even more in a decade or two when Christians will need every single authentic Holy Tradition to support Sacred Scriptures.
Iscool said - “Jesus WAS the Son of God??? I got news for Iggy, Jesus is STILL the Son of God and He IS God...
I’ve got serious doubts that Ignatius was a bishop at Ephesis...The Ephesians would have quickly straightened out Ignatius in his faulty theology...”
He was the Bishop of Antioch! No one said he was the bishop of Ephesis. “Iggy” is called St Ignatius - please show some respect. St Ignatius was martyred in Circus Maximus because he wouldn’t renounce his Christian faith. Your need to be anti-Catholic at all times is standing in the way of rational thought.

We cannot make it personal. The noble Iscool may make all the statements that he wishes in whatever form he wishes with or without any justification whatsoever. He may be the most foaming at the mouth rabid anti Catholic whatsoever. His comments may resemble the leavings of the great apes, but we must never make it personal in our reply back to him. If we cannot debate him on theological and Scriptural grounds, then we should not debate him at all. We do not know that he has a need to be anti Catholic at all times and even if he does, we must not comment on it.
