St. Ignatius of Antioch: Learn to lead Christian lives
Spirituality
St. Ephrem (350): “We know from the Gospel that there are various places of torment. For it has been revealed to us that there is exterior darkness (Mt. 8:12), and so it follows that there is also interior darkness (Mk. 5). The fire of Gehenna is another place, the abode of weeping and gnashing of teeth (Mt. 25:30). Another place speaks of the worm that dieth not (Mk. 9:43). We read in another place of the pool of fire (Apoc. 19:20), and again of tarturus, of unquenchable fire (Mk. 9:42, 44)… The depths of the earth is another place. The hell where sinners are tormented, and the depths of hell, a more fearful place. The wretched souls of the damned are distributed throughout these places of punishment, each one according to the nature of his sins.”
Doctrine
St. Ignatius of Antioch (c. 105): “For this cause let us be Christ’s disciples, and let us learn to lead Christian lives. For whoever is called by any name other than this is not of God… It is monstrous to talk of Jesus Christ and to practice Judaism.” (To the Magnesians)
