How do you know the jesuits didn't put up that crack pot you quote from simply to keep you from knowing the truth. They have a reputation or altering history.How do you know what clement wrote. Jesuit have reputation to alter history.
The reason is we have early copies of what Clement wrote. We know them to be authentic because they use the same style and syntax as other early writers. Besides, Clement is a source I frequently use against Roman Catholic claims because he tells us things like there was no monarchial bishop (pope) but rather a board of elders or Presbyters running the Church in Rome. Kinda weird to include that nugget if the document was forged.
Irrelevant. There's also a lot of tea in China.Like I say, on 1965 in my country there was assignation of 7 military general. Government say it by communist, prof Ben Anderson investigate and say, it done by CIA
Acts leaves off with Paul in arriving in Rome. My guess is Peter arrived later.A lot of odd thing that Luke not mention the president of apostle there when apostle Paul there.
Kinda foolish if there is straight up persecution especially in the Capital of the Roman Empire to throw a welcoming party for Peter.Also every where when Paul visit that there was Christian community, they give warm welcome, read act. There wasn't welcoming party where boss peter in Rome for Paul? It is wear, or peter not there.
