This link and article tells you what they thought or did. But does it show the original writings of the Real Early Church Father's writing like other scholars. Always very strange in these types of articles if missing. If you read a well balanced article it will always have early church father writings and quotes.

I have been reading them myself for years. I do not claim to be a scholar but I do read the early Church Fathers. I am a layman who reads. I can tell by what is missing if they are that genuine in their work.

When someone shows early church Fathers without verses is like arguing the bible without showing those verses. Strange indeed.

I like you reference to 1 John chapter 4: It teaches us (believers) about the family(God’s family) and the world.
We as children are warned against false teachers, and
those that confess Jesus Christ; and those that confess not.

Verse 4 says: “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.”

Yes 1 John is a great chapter clearly written us who belong to the heavenly Father.
