Wait, so the Bible says Peter wasn't in Rome. Verse please?

Our Lord Himself tells the Twelve not to go among the Gentiles [Matthew 10:5]. Was Rome a Gentile city? Of course it was. The Twelve were told to go to the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel (the circumcised) instead. (verse 6). Paul was chosen as the Apostles to the Gentiles [Acts 9:15] and he clarifies it further in [Galatians 2:7] by stipulating that he, not Peter, was selected to evangelize the Gentiles.

You can spin it anyway you want....but you cannot deny the plain words of scripture.

I suppose you didn't hear about the crucified skeleton found beneath the Altar of St. Peter's? Or was that a vile forgery of the Roman Church?

It was a Simon alright....but not the one you wish it to be.

LOL, I see. So, how do you deal with ACTS where Peter does go amongst Gentiles. Or was that a mistake?

And yes, it's the right Peter, keep dreaming.
