The Church Built on Peter

[Not gonna take it anymore]

After St. Peter died upside down on a cross in the Circus of Caligula and Nero, the surviving Christians obtained his body and buried him quickly nearby, on the steeply sloping Vatican Hill to the north of the Circus. That hill had become a makeshift graveyard four months earlier after the fire of Rome had killed so many residents of the metropolis that their loved ones began to use any open spot they could find on the roadsides radiating outside the city. . . .

When the tropaion of Peter was found underneath the high altar during archaeological escavations in 1941, there was great rejoicing, because it matched what Gaius had written at the end of the second century. Even more exciting was the fact that they found bones in what was clearly Peter’s tomb underneath the victory monument.

[Cronos]

how much of Scripture do you consider as no longer pertinent.

unlike Unitarians, we don't junk scripture

The "biblical Unitarians" believe that gay marriage, abortions, etc. is all perfectly all right as the "biblical unitarians" say that this is all to be junked.... and then they argue with Christians.

Sad, sad loons

[Jvette]

I actually know nothing about unitarianism other than they seem to reject history.

[Cronos]

Well, Old REggie, the “biblical unitarian”. It really seems like some folks can only criticize others beliefs without seeing the huge holes in their’s — or perhaps it is precisely because their beliefs are non-existent...
