CynicalBear:
And you are saying was not in Rome based on What? Your conclusion that Paul makes not mention of it. That does not mean he is in Rome at the time. For one, perhaps Paul did not want to state that he was in Rome given the fact that if the Letter to Rome was intercepted, the Roman Authorities would use it to persecute and Kill Peter, which is what happened. and for the record, your writings seems to be based on the writings of some Protestant internet apologist named Allison Lewis that I have seen linked by Prots before. His arguments are just that and of course, he goes on to say that Didache is heretical because its views of Baptism don’t fit his are what he thinks the NT says.
St. Clement of Rome strongly implies that both Peter and Paul were martyred in Rome in his letter. Rather than me continue to debate you, I will defer to Philip Schaff’s translation of St. Clement of Rome’s Letter to the Church at Corinth which indicates that both St. Peter and Paul were killed in Rome. Schaff’s footnote in the link I provided clearly comes to that conclusion.

St. Ignatius of Antioch, a pupil of St. Polycarp, who was a pupil of St. John the Apostle states in is letter to the Church at Rome, not as Peter and Paul do I command you....which only makes sense in the context of both St. Peter and Paul being in Rome.

Neither of the sites you included even hint at Peter having been or died in Rome. I seems to me your entire premise of Peter having been in Rome is based on conjecture. Certainly not something I’m going to follow. As I have stated. There is no scriptural proof that Peter was ever in Rome. If you can’t find that for me I’ll remain convinced he was never there.
