So which book of the New Testament that Ignatius or Polycarp quoted from, before the end of the first century and into the second, that is not “inerrant or original”?

It would be helpful if you could provide a citation and source.

Are you seriously unaware that Ignatius and Polycarp quote from the New Testament extensively, and yet claim to be the history major by virtue of being Catholic? Google it, the fact is well documented.

For Polycarp, I’ll let you google Ignatius yourself.

Proportionate to the length of what they wrote, Polycarp has two or three times more quotations and reminiscences from the New Testament that does Ignatius. Of 112 Biblical reminiscences, about 100 are from the New Testament with only a dozen from the Old Testament. Polycarp does not refer to older Christian writings by name, but The Letter to the Philippians has quotations (of approval) from these writings:

Gospel according to Matthew
Gospel according to Mark
Gospel according to Luke
Acts
I Corinthians
II Corinthians
Galatians
Ephesians
Philippians
I Thessalonians
II Thessalonians
I Timothy
II Timothy
Hebrews
I Peter
I John
III John

In fact, The Letter to the Philippians is a mosaic of quotations from both Old Testament and Christian writings. The letter is important for its early testimony to the existence of various other New Testament texts. English translations of the letter are in the books [LHH] and [Richardson] , and online at Noncanonical Homepage and Christian Classics Ethereal Library. The quotations below follow [Richardson]. For a summary of this evidence see the Cross Reference Table.
