And now the bad news: it's your turn. You're up to bat. Don't be nervous. Just give us those sacred words from the "Holy Fathers" that tell us about Peter's 25 year bishopric in Rome, that's all. Keep your focus and your eye on the goal line --- "Dr A8"
Meanwhile I have to check just one more manuscript that the magisterium keeps hidden away in their holy of holies at the monastery down the street. My part of our thesis is being checked for historical accuracy, footnotes, sources, spelling, grammar, . . . as I want it to be perfect with no mistakes. I will post later on today my half of of our Thesis: THE EVIDENCE for THE TWENTY-FIVE YEAR BISHOPRIC of PETER in ROME and His UPSIDEDOWN CRUCIFIXION under NERO . It will be available for anyone anywhere to challenge its accuracy. My reputation is on the line as yours will be shortly. I trust that you are as excited as I am.
Your style cracks me up ...
For the benefit of those who just joined us, let me recap up to this point:Awhile back Adiaireton8 and I had a deep discussion about the search for "genuine truth" and decided on a joint venture in pursuit of an ecumenical thesis that is consistent with the topic of this thread regarding the great legend of Peter's Bishopric in Rome.
My part of the thesis was to present the evidence for Peter's Roman Bishopric in the Holy Scriptures and his part was to present the evidence for Peter's Roman Bishopric from the writings of the Ante-Nicene Fathers. I would post my evidence first, followed by his. No links, no verbosity, no editorializing, no commentary, just the pure words from the Holy Scriptures and the writings of the Ante-Nicene Fathers themselves.
After we post our evidence, it is open to challenge from a jury of our peers who are free to be as critical as they like. The evidence we present must stand up to inquiry and scrutiny without collapsing. So feel free to be blunt and honest with your questioning and comments. Hold nothing back.
As soon as we hear from the magisterium, it will be on its way. Thank you for your patience.
