Before I click on to your ‘link’, is it from scripture? Because if it’s not, you’re wasting my time. And yours.

There are some biblical references, but everyone knows there is no explicit statement in Scripture that Peter was in Rome. There are verses that point very persuasively to the fact that he was, and there is a strong Apostolic tradition that he was.

In any event, none of this apparently would convince you, because it is clear from your post that you reject out-of-hand ANYTHING that is not explicitly stated in the Bible. You reject completely the possibility of the early Church teaching Catholic doctrines, isn't that right?

By the way, the Trinity is not explicitly stated in the Bible. It's not even moderately spelled out. Do you reject the doctrine of the Trinity? It was defined by a CATHOLIC Church council, in 325 A.D., called by a pope. It's not in the Bible.

Then where did the Catholic church get the concept?

Emperor Constantine called the Council. Was a Pope?

Seems pretty clear to me

1John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

So when did they make Emperor Constantine who called the council a Pope ?
