Fascinating. Thank you for posting this.
Thanks. You do a great job getting the truth out here.
Is it the fact that they were the executioners of the Lamb, or the fact that a Roman emperor adulterated Christianity with Babylonian paganism?
Neither. It’s the fact that so many deluded anti-Catholics believe ridiculous myths like “a Roman emperor adulterated Christianity with Babylonian paganism”.
That's nice. It was read in the liturgy in the early second century church. Did you know that?
The reason it's not in your Bible today is because groups of Catholic bishops gathered in councils between AD 380 and AD 410, and a Pope of Rome by the name of Damasus (where'd he come from?) around the same time said that it wasn't.
Here's what IS in your Bible: Isaiah 22:21-22, Matthew 16:17-19, Luke 22:31-32, and John 21:15-19.
That Peter founded the Church of Rome is not to say that he was the first one to bring the Gospel there. Rather, he is the one that established the church hierarchy for the Christians that were already there. So the existence of non-Peter lead Christians in Rome when Paul wrote his letter to the Romans means nothing. Peter had yet arrived, just as Paul himself had yet to arrive. It is known that Peter was in Antioch before going to Rome.
Paul himself was insistent on the need for a hierarchy of bishops, presbyters and deacons in the local churches. That he does not address them in his Letter to the Romans only shows that this has not yet been established in Rome, as Paul directed Timothy and Titus to do in his letters to them. Peter would arrive latter to organize the church in Rome.

Hmmmmm — any Bible will do?
Sorry, but this isn’t the truth.
Amen!
I want to read this later.
Catholics champion another religion with another jesus that has them believing they will obtain eternal life by eating their god, striving to do whatsoever the catholic religion tells them to do, including eating the body, blood, SOUL and DIVINITY of 'a' jesus to get eternal life in them.
They condemn someone who suffers their pagan ridicule to bring them the Truth about thier 'other religion'? Mercy! Satan has done some of his finest devilish work in catholics!
The Hebrews, when they saw and tasted the manna, said 'what is it?' Catholics and Mormons, after the rapture of the true church of Jesus Christ, will be saying 'what happened?' And satan will have a great lie they will believe ... for a while, until it is too late.
well, for catholics any wafer their institutionalized priesthood blesses will do for eating the god of catholiciism, so why not just any old Bible. There are enough changes in all of them to rival the strategic alterations the Douay-Rheims ushers forth. And catholics started all the way back in Genesis altering the Bible, to support the pagan rites of Mariology!
For anti-Catholics?
Only the anti-Christ, anti-Christian, Pharisee Rabbi Approved Luther Subset of Scripture will do.
What you mean is it is not Roman Catholic truth...There is No evidence that Peter was ever Bishop of Rome. NONE..

The attitude many here have of a bunch of Catholics and Mormons that will be misled into believing in another Jesus Christ than the “Real” Jesus Christ is just plain silliness.
Whether or not the Catholics or Mormons practice a “true” Christianity is a non argument. They worship Jesus Christ therefore they are Christian. They may indeed be misled by their leaders about some facet of the Gospel but they strive to the best of their ability to follow Jesus Christ and Him crucified. Basically The Lord has said if they aren’t against Us they are for Us.
There will be a day when we will have surprises maybe the Mormons and Catholics will have a good share of those surprises but they won’t be surprised when they come face to face with their Savior and see the prints of the nails in His hands and feet, they will know Him as He will know them.
Please keep looking.....you will eventually find the truth.
