Would They Die for a Lie?

[Jehanne]

And, so, you accept the Acts of Peter as being an historical source?

is that all you got out my post? what about the lady [101] Margherita Guarducci who found his estuary/tomb with the inscription having been crucified by nero and giving the date? what about that?how did you miss that? With that as our anchor source then we can build with other material that would not typically stand on their own but in this case in this detail can be used to corroborate the narrative.

Why are you arguing 2000 years of known vetted history? don't you understand that the anti god propaganda is something new? I provided 5 1st century historians that point to nero in 64 AD wide spread persecution in Rome of Christians for the destruction or burning of Rome. You are ignoring 1st century sources for your own personal belief in modern anti god propagandists.

No one is denying that the Romans sometimes persecuted various groups, which included the early Christians, but only such was the exception and not the rule.

Glad to see that you no longer regard the Acts of Peter as being a reliable source of the death of Peter; doubtful, though, that he was crucified upside down. The Romans were not in the habit of granting last minute privileges to condemned prisoners facing execution.
