I see you failed to answer my question in post 97.......or did you? Based on your subsequent posts I think you may have.

The only thing I have seen from reading your posts is that you like to harass and bash Christians. Why is that?

Thank you --- I am most appreciative for your link in which it says:

an ancient, orthodox historical text known as the "Acts of Saints Peter and Paul" elaborates on the preaching and martyrdom of the two Apostles in Rome. The dating of this document is difficult, but historians cited in the Catholic Encyclopedia placed its probable origins between A.D. 150-250.

Was this a known Gnostic manuscript at the time. Surely none of the early church fathers would have been deceived into trusting it, or would they? Is it possible that Irenaeus might have erroneously relied upon it for his statements about Peter and Paul? After all the church fathers were human and their works were not inspired by the Holy Spirit as were those of Scripture.
