Although Paul mentions 35 names in his letter to the Romans and sends greetings by name to 26, why does he fail to mention Peter? Simply because Peter was not there at the time! (Rom. 16:3-15)

from the same link:
No such mention was necessary, and it would have been positively inexpedient. The most ordinary prudence would make St. Paul avoid mentioning St. Peter as Bishop of Rome in written documents which might fall into the hands of the enemies of the Church. The Christians were most careful not to allow the movements and official acts of their Bishops to become known to the authorities of pagan society. Any hint that the head of the Church had taken up his abode in Rome, or was founding his See in the very heart of the Roman Empire would be disastrous if it came into the hands of enemies. St. Paul's remark that he was not going to build on “another man's foundation” was sufficient reference for those to whom he was writing.

just for the sake of discussion

348. Is there any indication in Scripture that St. Peter was ever in Rome?

Yes. St. Peter ends his first Epistle with the words, “The Church which is in Babylon salutes you, and so doth my son Mark.” Pagan Rome was called Babylon by the early Christians; and St. Peter was writing from that city.

i want a direct answer.

should we worship Jesus? yes or no?

[jhenTux]

[jhenTux]

tnx david. i really appreciate that. at least now i know what to tell them.

[jhenTux]

tnx nick. but they keep on insisting if i can't give any verse in the bible, then there's nothing wrong in celebrating it.

[jhenTux]

those who celebrate christmas often tell me, give us a verse that forbids us to celebrate christmas. i can't give any.

then they ask me, will we go to hell if we celebrate christmas?

if you encounter such, how will you respond?

Why there are so many denominations, but all are under one umbrella – Protestantism?

If protestants have only ONE faith, why some denominations have different doctrines from the other?

What is the difference of Protestant Trinity to Catholic Trinity?

many tnx.

[jhenTux]

guys, is it also safe to call the Holy Spirit as YAHWEH? because that name means GOD – i am who i am.

[jhenTux]

the priest told during the mass that the names mentioned are actually the apostles.

Revelation 12:1
A great and wondrous sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head.

They say from the above verse that it is mary being mentioned there.

i wonder if it is really mary, from what i know the woman symbolizes:
1. church
2. israel
3. mary

among the 3 choices, who fits the revelation 12:1?

[jhenTux]

my catholic friends says constantine was at first an Arian? any info?

[jhenTux]

how Jesus is not God?

from what i understand, i have never read anything in the bible calling Jesus as “God the Son”. but there is “God the Father”.

i have never read anything also Jesus saying “I am God. Worship me.”

i created this thread to discuss the different verses calling Jesus as God:

“The column in the Piazza celebrates the famous icon of the Virgin Mary in the Pauline chapel of the Basilica. It is known as Salus Populi Romani, or Health of the Roman People, due to a miracle in which the icon helped keep plague from the city. The icon is at least a thousand years old, and tradition holds that it was painted from life by St. Luke the Evangelist. “

reference: wikipedia.org

how true is this? st luke painted that image and used in worship?

[jhenTux]

well said The One. i'll post more the verses used by my trinitarian friends when we're in discussion. hope to hear more from you.

I've seen estimates that the RCC killed hundreds of thousands of women suspected of being witches. In all there could have a million plus people killed by the church. The papacy itself has some horrible history of corruption. One pope had his arch enemy and predecessor exhumed from the grave, dressed him and put him on trial. Finding him guilty they cut off his fingers. Colter

hi colter

could you please give me more link to read about what you've posted. million killed?

also, more info with this pope and his arch enemy.

tnx.
