Even if Ignatius had said that the Son was equal to the Father in eternity, power, position, and wisdom, it would still not be a Trinity, for nowhere did he say that the holy spirit was equal to God in those ways.
Tuy nhiên, Ignatius không nói là Con bằng Đức Chúa Trời, tức Đức Chúa Cha về những phương diện đó hoặc về một phương diện nào khác.
