St. Ignatius Of Antioch letter, Praise of the Ephesians

In this letter he uses the word bound as a way to describe his closeness to the church and God. He gives orders and new ways for the bishops, how shows us how to see false teachings, and how false teachers will be punished for their doing. He even shows that prayers should be endless and powerful in word. St. Ignatius proveds us a warning for false doctrines and gives us a beautiful reason for this idea. In chapter 6 Ignatius talks mainly about the bishops of the Church and how to respect the bishops just as Christ, but to also follow the teachings of the bishop rather than oppose them. The commands of God are given to bishops all around the world. We need to understand that We need to treat everyone like if they were Christ. Listen to those who have authority of the Church.
