You all are forcing me to do my homework...which is a good thing! Here is what St. Ignatius of Antioch said in ca. 105 AD. "Jesus Christ was with the Father before the ages, and in the end, He was revealed." Here is an early martyr who probably knew St. John the Evangelist personally. Where did he ...
