You do know that when you use modern scholarship their ideas are all ready planted and try and make them work. I gave you quotes from the early church which shows you thats what they believed. Did you catch that quote from Justin Martyr? That would seem to disprove whomever wrote your article. To be honest I could give you early Church quotes till you would get tired of reading. Now as history goes I told you already all ancient churches like Coptic, Orthodox. have the same beliefs in what happens in their liturgies. I don't know maybe you need to believe something so you fell justified so you try and find anything on the subject and believe that. As I told you you should research without bias. I have a long time ago believe it or not and nothing i have seen since with an open heart has changed it. I think the Early Church is really a good source for the Early Churches beliefs.

Did your article leave sources?
