It is clear that existemi is the primary word that people used to describe mental illness directly corresponding to our English word "crazy" or "nuts". 3. Most of the time in the NT the word existemi is used in a metaphoric sense for astonishment, amazement. We commonly use "crazy" in a metaphoric way: "When I saw that my dad bought me a brand new Ford Mustang for my 16th birthday I went crazy!" Likewise the first century church commonly used the word existemi metaphorically: "Then Jesus got into the boat with them, and the wind stopped; and they were utterly astonished [existemi, 1839]" Mark 6:51 4.

The Apostolic Fathers believed in expedient, optional tradition ... Yet the Quartodecimans wanted to "do it the way the Bible says" and maintain the 1700 year old Jewish tradition of calculating Passover on Nissan 14. But the Jewish calculation meant that Passover (Easter) fell on different days of the week and the church at Rome didn't like this and wanted Easter to always fall on a Sunday. So, contrary to scripture and tradition, they eventually outlawed Quartodeciman view with the Nicene creed. Hippolytus implies that the Quartodecimans keep all other "apostolic tradition", except for rejecting how to properly calculate Easter. Now the "Easter controversy" is an example of how man-made doctrine began to infiltrate the church which no one in the first century practiced. Yearly Easter celebrations are found neither in scripture or the apostolic fathers. What we do find in the apostolic fathers, was that every Sunday was a celebration of the resurrection of Christ.

We cannot possibly accept any excuses for this kind of deceptive writing--poor scholarship is one thing, but this goes far beyond simply poor scholarship. This article shows definite, pre-meditated deception. It's purpose is to misrepresent Ignatius' beliefs, and in so doing confirm millions of Jehovah's Witnesses world-wide in their beliefs.

Such documents are to be regarded as descriptive more than normative. They are never to be given equal status with the Bible.

Our forefathers agreed with Menno Simons, after whom Mennonites are named, that "No other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ" (1 Cor. 3:11).

But even though we or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed." One who preaches a perverted gospel is to be accursed.
