Hi patricius79 and welcome to the Highway.

Your reference (above) is from Ignatius' Letter to the Smyrnaeans a source for historical information but as it is not Scripture and was never considered part of the canon, should not be used to establish doctrine. His letter was written to counter docetism, an early church heresy that denied that Jesus Christ came in the flesh (incarnation) and his bodily resurrection.
