Anthony, is this your way of admitting that you cannot supply the exact source of that quote? I'm going to guess that you don't possess the volume of Justin Martyr's writings, nor have you even read the quote itself. But rather, you simply read a statement made by some Particular Baptist "noble" and accepted it as truth.

Ya know, those who are ensnared by cults have a very similar problem. For example, those deceived by the writings of Jehovah's Witnesses believe everything and anything that they read in the publications of the "Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society" of Brooklyn, New York. You can show these people Scripture, after Scripture, after Scripture, try and reason with them using good sound logic and even common sense, but they will not listen to anything that doesn't conform to the "official writings" of the Watch Tower consortium. The Bible is interpreted via a JW hermeneutic. The same is fashionably true of the Mormons as well, only Joseph Smith was given gold spectacles, which doubtless trump those worn by Joseph "Judge" Franklin Rutherford.
