No.
Peter was the Bishop of Rome. The first Bishop of Rome.
You, smvoice, incorrectly, in post #238 state that 1Peter 5:13. refers to the city of Babylon on the River Euphrates
It cannot and did not refer to Babylon on the Euphrates, as:
- Babylon was a village at that time
- There was a bishopric already at Edessa founded by Thaddeus, the apostle to the gentiles in Mesopotmai

Furtherore, you, smvoice stated, falsely that
It is a historical fact that the city of Babylon was still in existence at that time (60 A.D) -
your statement is false -- have you ever even read Josephus, book 18, chap.9; book 19, chapter 1 that you quote?
Book 18 chapter 8 refers to the PROVINCE of Babylonia and not the city of Babylon. In particular it specifically refers to city of Babylonia called Neerda and Nisibis NOT to Babylon = And to book 19 -- that doesn't even refer to the province of Babylonia except in the title |
Josephus and others give adequate proof that Peter not only was in Rome, but was leader of the church there before he was executed.
