Saya copy kembali posting saya tentang Petrus di Roma.
Ada 2 argument dibawah ini yang menyanggah dalih yang digunakan katolik untuk membuktikan Petrus uskup di roma.
- Surat Petrus yang mengatakan dari babilon oleh katolik dijelaskan bahwa babilon itu kode untuk Roma.
Artikel ini mengatakan bahwa itu tidak betul karena sejarah yahudi mengatakan babilon jadi kode untuk Roma setelah tahun 70 sedang surat Petrus ditulis sebelum tahun 70.
- Prof Michael D Goulder meneliti surat Clement yang digunakan oleh katolik sebagai bukti Peter uskup di Roma.
Ternyata pasal itu hanya membandingkan 7 orang di PL dan 7 orang di PB yang menderita karena iri hati.
Sama sekali tidak menyangkut informasi Peter di Roma.
- yang saya sendiri pelajari dari sejarah yang ditulis Lukas, dalam kisah rasul2 tidak menyebut2 Peterus sebagai uskup di Roma padahal menyebut Paulus di Roma.
Kejanggalan demi kejanggalan ditemukan seharusnya menjadi perhatian kita.
Ilmu pengetahuan sering juga dipercayai selama banyak tahun tapi begitu ada penemuan baru yang sebaliknya menentang pengatahuan yang salah, mestinya dicermati apakah penemuan baru itu menunjukan bukti2 yang kuat?
Was Peter Ever in Rome?www.vision.org/visionmedia/article.aspx?id=5820
saya kutip babilon dipakai sebagai code untuk Roma dibagiaan kalimat dibawah ini dari link diatas
Babylon is a coded name for Rome in the subsequent writing of the Revelation to John, and it clearly becomes a feature of second-century writing. In addition, Jews used the term Babylon in a polemical way after 70 C.E. when the Romans brought about the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the temple. Like the Babylonians before them, the Romans had destroyed the center of the Jewish religion. This usage came after the supposed date of Peter’s martyrdom but would certainly fit with the usage of Babylon for Rome in the book of Revelation.
Tentang keyakinan katolik bahwa paul dan Peter sama2 mati dibunuh di Roma, dibahas oleh Professor Michael D Goulder dari universitas Brimmingham di artikel ini sbb:
From this small section it is deduced that both Peter and Paul were martyred in Rome. But Clement’s statement is taken out of context. In an article published in the Scottish Journal of Theology in 2004, Michael D. Goulder, professor emeritus of biblical studies at the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom, examined the context of Clement’s account. Applying literary analysis to the text, Goulder established that the statement about Peter and Paul had to be read in terms of the preceding and succeeding sections. Prior to the passage quoted above, Clement had given seven Old Testament examples of people who had suffered because of jealousy. (Only one, Cain’s brother Abel, had actually died because of the jealousy.) Goulder then proceeded to show that each Old Testament example had a New Testament parallel in that each individual or group had suffered in a similar way because of jealousy. Among these later examples, Clement listed first “the greatest and most righteous pillars” of the church; they, like Abel, had “contended even unto death.” This description would certainly fit the apostle James. Peter, Clement said, had fled (just as Jacob had fled his jealous brother, Esau); and Paul (like Joseph in the Old Testament) had been put in bondage.
In other words, as Goulder read the epistle, Clement didn’t even address the issue of whether or not Peter or Paul were martyred. The letter simply identified them as having suffered from the jealousy of others. Clement’s purpose in giving these examples was merely to correct the Corinthians with regard to the internal problems that he saw arising from the jealousy and envy that had developed among them (1 Clement 3). Goulder considers that based on this clarification, Peter may have died in his bed in Jerusalem for all Clement tells us.
Kepercayaan Peter dan Paul sama2 di roma dan mati dibunuh disana yang biasanya dipercayai katolik, menurut professor ini berasal dari surat Clement.
Professor ini menganalisa surat clement dan ternyata surat itu tidak menyebut apa2 tentang peter dan Paul mati diroma.
Clement hanya mengatakan Peter dan Paul sama2 menderita karena iri hati.
Clement hanya memberi contoh tujuh orang diperjanjian lama dan tujuh orang diperjanjian baru yang menderita karena iri hati.
Jadi menurut Professor ini clement tidak menulis apa2 tentang Peter di roma.
