Paul says
Romans 11:1
I say then, Hath God cast away his people?
God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham,
of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew.
Wot (know) ye not what the scripture saith of Elias?
how he maketh intercession to God against Israel saying,
3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets,
and digged down thine altars;
and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
4 But what saith the answer of God unto him?
I have reserved to myself seven thousand men,
who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant
according to the election of grace.
I have reserved to myself seven thousand men,
who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
These seven thousand men Paul speaks of;
do we know their names ???
do we have any mention of any thing they taught or wrote???
No we do not
just the testimony of God and Paul
they were there and
"had
not bowed the knee to the image of Baal."
and
Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant
according to the election of grace
what more "evidence" do you need pilgrim
pilgrim says:
If St Ignatius who lived at that time and was a disciple of St. John and ordained a bishop by St Peter isn't good enough evidence for you,
========================================================
NO: Absolutly Not
these Myths and fabricated stories of St Ignatius
are evidence of only
one thing
2Peter 2:1
there will be false teachers among you.
They will secretly introduce destructive heresies,
..... these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories.
NIV
they will exploit you with concocted stories.

Biography of the bishop and writer. Ignatius was martyred at Rome sometime between 98 and 117
www.newadvent.org
It contains the seven genuine and six spurious letters, but even
the genuine epistles were greatly interpolated to lend weight to the personal views of its author. For this reason
they are incapable of bearing witness to the original form. The spurious letters in this recension are those that purport to be from Ignatius
pilgrim now you know this;
every time you refer to these letters
you bear false witness to the posters on this forum
For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers,
and murderers, and idolaters,
and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie
what was that Peter said
Many will be seduced by their licentious ways
