We just got through a massive thread where St. Peter's presence and martyrdom in Rome was amply attested by early witness.

Your witnesses, I see, are all non-scriptural. Peter was never in Rome, was never close to Rome and that can be demonstrated from scripture. None of these folks you mention were eye witnesses....so how you can even call them that is mystifying to me.

So anything about the Apostles that isn't in the Bible must be discounted? That's ridiculous.

That's the equivalent of saying that Anything extra-Biblical Did Not Happen because it's Not In Scripture and that can be proved with Scripture. How many logical fallacies can you cram into one statement?

Do you know the origin of this myth? Does the name Loraine Boettner mean anything to you? Do you know what Boettner based his statement from? Does the name William Cave mean anything to you?

Do a little research and get back to me.

You can use Scripture to prove a negative?
