I know. I thought someone had a website to the contrary, but I was wrongUmm…I stood in the prison of Peter and Paul. I physically was there. Paul was beheaded in Rome and Peter crucified upside down in Rome. It states that he is in Rome in his letters.
Oh how awesome to see this again! I have all pictures of this!! I don’t know how to download or I’d show them! Thank you.sacred-destinations.com/italy/rome-mamertime-prison-pictures/index.htm
Here is a very nice photo gallery of the prison.
Anyone who says this really is a heretic and obviously can’t read.I have seen non-Catholic Christains (and perhaps some non-Christians) claim that Paul never made it to Rome, supposidly based on Scripture. I do not understand this concept, when Acts of the Apostles refutes it. Acts 28:16-31 starts with the phrase "when we arrived in Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself. Can someone clerify this? Or is my memory poor?
Perhaps you meant to say Peter. There are many who argue that Peter never went to Rome but I have never heard anyone say that Paul never went. Of course, either way, those who claim that either or both never made it to Rome are incorrect. BOTH Peter and Paul were martyred in Rome.I have seen non-Catholic Christains (and perhaps some non-Christians) claim that Paul never made it to Rome, supposidly based on Scripture.

Oh my God, no matter what we tell you, it’s like “Protestant Tunnel Vision” all over again. I WAS THERE, I WAS IN ROME IN THE CELL OF PETER AND PAUL, I HAVE SEEN THE CHAINS THAT HELD ST. PETER, come on people, what is wrong with you??I finally found one. I was speaking to a non-denominational yesterday. He says that he is in the process of starting a church “like the early ones.” Anyway, we spoke about Peter being pope. He had the usual lines, including that he never went to Rome. After we discussed this for a while, he told me that while Paul did go to Rome, it was not under his own free will and he was never able to organize the church there. Because of this, the Roman church never grew beyond a small christian community until the Roman Catholic Church was founded by Constantine.
Summary: Paul was there, but he was not allowed to preach or “start” the church there, Peter never made it and it was 400 years before there was a church in Rome.
I don’t beleive Paul wasn’t there. I know he was. I know Peter was too.Oh my God, no matter what we tell you, it’s like “Protestant Tunnel Vision” all over again.

You are so misled, so misguided, I feel sorry for you.
Quite true.Perhaps you meant to say Peter. There are many who argue that Peter never went to Rome but I have never heard anyone say that Paul never went. Of course, either way, those who claim that either or both never made it to Rome are incorrect. BOTH Peter and Paul were martyred in Rome.
Acts 29 puts paid to the idea that Paul didn’t preach in Rome. Between the Pauline Epistles,and Acts,we have records for six or seven missionary journeys that Paul took. (I’m looking at a timeline that has Paul preaching in Londonium, in addition to seven other missionary journeys. At least one other supposed missionary journey is not described as such in the New Testament.)Summary: Paul was there, but he was not allowed to preach or “start” the church there,
Whilst it is questionable that Peter made it to Rome, a church was established there before AD 70. ( One of the Christ-mythists argues that a church was established there circa 40 AD.)Peter never made it and it was 400 years before there was a church in Rome.

The journey to Rome might have been involuntary, but not unplanned. The internal evidence suggests that Paul made at least one, and possibly two or three missionary journeys that are not directly recorded in the New Testament.

Paul’s letter to the Romans was written to the Church at Rome. At the time of this letter, the Church at Rome was already established. Such that the Faith of the Roman Church was already heard all over the worldWhilst it is questionable that Peter made it to Rome, a church was established there before AD 70.
