A qoute from Ignatius’ Letter to the Trallians (Church in Tralles) The city of Aydin in Turkey’s Aegean Region (it was known as Tralles in Roman and Byzantine times)
“I urge you, therefore – yet not I, but the love of Jesus Christ – partake only of Christian food and keep away from every strange plant, which is heresy. These people, while pretending to be trustworthy, mix Jesus Christ with themselves – like those who administer a deadly drug with honeyed wine, which the unsuspecting victim accepts without fear, and so with fatal pleasure drinks down death.”
