Well we can build structures like that we just don't. Most of what we build now is designed for a specific purpose. It's far more function over form. We build stuff to perform a function. We don't build stuff to honor and commemorate, to truly celebrate. Not like they used to it at any rate

@C L really? Funny the Taj mahal was considered one of the 7 wonders of the world. I don't think that's considered a modern structure by any stretch of the imagination. I get the impression you probably never actually been to St Peter's basilica or some of the truly spectacular works of architecture you can find in Europe or Asia. I'm sorry friend but the ignorance here is your own

@C L They are absolutely not. They could not duplicate the pyramids. Anything from the late 1800, early 1900s are barely still standing. Buildings built today will not be standing in thousands of years. They are lucky they can build a car these days to last 10-15 years. Everything is done with cheap parts and cheap labor. No quality anymore. So if you don't like my comment then move along and troll elsewhere because it's staying.

[@alexandergausJTP]

@@toddrobbins4608 exactly. We could very well build a structure to last for ages, but why should we spend all that money and time for a building, of wich we don't know, if we still need it in such a long time? In very special cases we do, by the way. Just look up "Svalbard Global Seed Vault". A really interesting structure with a very long term function. We are capable of far more, then some people do believe. We just spend our resources differently, not necessarily better in many cases.

[@joebombero1]

There really should not be any controversy here. The bones under St Peter's are likely the real bones of the first Pope. The bones found in the other church are likely Peter's also. The explanation is easy. Constantine's mother, St. Helena, encouraged excavation throughout the empire. It was her doing that the birthplace of Christ was determined as well as the place of crucifixion and the tomb. It would have been easy for her to find St. Peter's tomb as certainly local Christians kept the memory alive. It is likely at least some bones were removed from the tomb when Constantine built the first St. Peter's basilica. The original altar is still there, directly under the current altar at St. Peter's basilica. It makes sense therefore that the current altar is directly above the original tomb, as Constantine would not have built St. Peter's basilica there had he not found the original tomb and put the altar directly above it.

Cleopatra gave three obelisks to Rome and had them transported to Alexandria. Only one made it to Rome- the one that eventually ended up at the Vatican. The other two sat at the docks in Alexandria for centuries until the French took one for Paris, then promptly lost it when the ship sank. The British took the remaining obelisk for London and it is now known as Cleopatra's Needle and stands on the Embankment in London. Ironically, the heiroglyphs on it's sides tell a story of a god who was born of a virgin, died and was raised from the dead after three days to reside among the stars. The god's name was Osiris and we know him as the star constellation Orion.

[@13minutestomidnight]

Although this is an interesting documentary, it's a ridiculous debate. Even if you had a box from the right time period saying "Peter, the First Pope" it would be impossible to determine whose bones were inside. Today you can find the names of celebrities scrawled all over different objects but that doesn't mean those objects belong to those celebrities (or are even vaguely connected to them - they can just be a fan's handwriting). Peter was a huge celebrity in antiquity, and a huge fixation of a hyper-religious population, so there's no telling what was done with his stuff or his body. He could have even been buried in a different country and an early Christian raided his grave, stole his bones and bought them to Rome to start a new church with. For all we know, all of his stuff was taken and buried with other people as sacred objects. More, importantly, archeologists should all know this is a pointless discussion. Archeology can only ascertain the traces of what still physically exists. Things like physiology and pathology of a person can leave traces in their bones (and even traces of how they lived), but not their identity - you can only say there's supporting evidence of someone who fits certain parameters. Furthermore, lots of evidence has been lost or destroyed over the years for many different reasons, so you can't say that absence of evidence is evidence of absence, either. Saying "we're not 100% sure whatsisname was here 2000 years ago" like that means anything is stupid too, because you can never be sure about someone's whereabouts that long ago. Even records of where someone died very publicly with a whole crowd watching (like Caesar's assassination or Jesus's crucifixion) could themselves have been fabricated at the time or later, so you can only say "our sources say this". I mean, seriously. In any case, religion of any kind is all about faith, so don't start complaining now about wanting "evidence" to back it up.

When translated to Greek they were written the same way and then when translated to Latin it changed to Tomas because they thought it was a name. The writing of Thomas speck of him and Jesus looking similar. The story of Thomas did not fit the virgin birth narrative so they were taken away from the main bible and Thomas was labeled as doubting Thomas.

Helen Bond mentions @29:17 that there is complete silence of the bible if Peter was in rome. But there is, in the greeting at the end of the first epistle: “ The Church here in Babylon, united with you by God’s election, sends you her greeting, and so does my son, Mark” (1 Pet. 5:13, Knox). Babylon is a code word for Rome. It is used that way multiple times in works like the Sibylline Oracles (5:159f), the Apocalypse of Baruch (2:1), and 4 Esdras (3:1). Eusebius Pamphilius, in The Chronicle, composed about A.D. 303, noted that “It is said that Peter’s first epistle, in which he makes mention of Mark, was composed at Rome itself; and that he himself indicates this, referring to the city figuratively as Babylon.” Then there’s early historical reference - Tertullian, in The Demurrer Against the Heretics (A.D. 200), noted of Rome, “How happy is that church . . . where Peter endured a passion like that of the Lord, where Paul was crowned in a death like John’s [referring to John the Baptist, both he and Paul being beheaded].” Protestants admit Paul died in Rome, so the implication from Tertullian is that Peter also must have been there. In the same book, Tertullian wrote that “this is the way in which the apostolic churches transmit their lists: like the church of the Smyrnaeans, which records that Polycarp was placed there by John; like the church of the Romans, where Clement was ordained by Peter.” This Clement, known as Clement of Rome, later would be the fourth pope. Clement wrote his Letter to the Corinthians perhaps before the year 70, just a few years after Peter and Paul were killed; in it he made reference to Peter ending his life where Paul ended his.

But they held on despite incredible odds and survived. Because of that we have scripture. We have a Bible. We have all of that preserved down through history thanks to the Catholic Church. Honestly when you look throughout the history they managed to survive events that are quite astounding.

The film failed to mention that the bones which were found, wrapped in (very expensive, and ancient) purple/gold cloth were individually identified.....and the bones of the feet and hands were MISSING from the wrists and ankles onwards. This is consistent with removing a crucified body, in a hurry, if you were unable to remove the nails for some reason. We can never know for sure obviously, but it's an interesting piece of information that's consistent with the crucifixion victim in question.

From the death of Saint Peter a lot of children were called Peter, which in ancient Greek meant "Tomb Stone" I lived and studied for 8 years in Greece and my teacher of litterature was Greek 100% and she had also qualifications for ancient greek and she tought us that in the old greek version of the Bible and Gospels, the world that we translate as Peter or Rock is not any rock, is "grave rock" grave stone". She was a truly outstanding teacher and I am sure that she tought us the right thing because she was Orthodox and the topic of the lesson was the correct translation of the Bible, and eventually the shism between catholic and orthodox church and books that were written about it at the time and the historical context.

The rock (petra) was the truth of the statement made by Peter in that verse about who Jesus was. Peter was not listed as the first Pope until the third century when someone claimed that he had been the bishop of Rome. There is no evidence that Peter ever went to Rome and the title is probably the result of Rome attempting to claim dominance over the church during a period when the seat of the church was in Jerusalem. Peter's location after the middle of Acts is unknown and it is likely that this was seized upon a few hundred years after he died to concoct the story.

yes I believe that St Peter did come to Rome, moreover I am sure that the christians that went to pray and pay homage on St Peters' tomb would not have mistaken it for a pagan tumb. And the fact that after that lots of people called their children Peter testifies to the fact that Saint Peter really did come to Rome and really was a very special person for the christians of the time. "Peter" was not a name, it was a word that meant ROCK. There are no precedents of people called "Rock". Naturally christians that were aware of the existence of an ex fisherman very poor who had came from Palestine, who was a jew, not a real roman and therefore "second class" would not have set up a shrine unless he indeed had been a special person starting from the fact that he spent years elbow to elbow with our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans used to cremate their dead. The deceased poor and the slaves were usually thrown in the rubish, there was a large area in which romans dumped anything that they wanted to throw away, including the bodies of the dead and unwanted infants. The custom of burying the dead was jewish not roman! If any the romans made urns of the ashes of the dead. Any pregnant woman who met Saint Peter and believed in his message and of the work of Jesus Christ, would have considered heresy to call her child Jesus for it was to equivail the child to God or to the son of God but would have surely considered calling her child Peter (Rock) who had had the priviledge of spending a few years elbow to elbow with Saint Peter.

[@allanmowz]

I suspect that is in large part due to Roman Catholic idolitry where images of him are everywhere. Jesus was of course an outdoor working scruffy Jewish carpenter for a couple of decades before he started teaching. He possibly still made woodwork while he was teaching to provide for his family. He was the eldest child and his mother was under his financial care by Jewish law. (Same reason he instructed John to take over that role when he was dying.) Some of the apostles likewise continued their trade to provide food and income while teaching after the ascension. His hands would likely have been scarred long before the cross by chisels and the like. And of course being Jewish he would have had short hair and a long beard, probably brown or black hair and brown eyes. It's specificly stated he wasn't anything special to look at physically.

Ok this video actually makes me upset. I will go through this point by point and explain from a Christian perspective why you are wrong. This is according to the original Messianic, fully Jewish origins and nature of the religion and our Christ. 1: Peter was not a pope, the concept of popes did not appear until roughly 500-600 years after Peter and thus after Christ. When reading the Bible, statements made by the apostles actually contradict directly and completely all beliefs held by all popes. 2: Peter did not view himself as having ANY authority over anything at all; his role was to spread Christ to the gentiles. 3: The description says "founder of the Christian Church and the first pope". Peter did not found the Church, God did, Christ being the rock, NOT peter, that it was founded upon. And peter was not a pope of any kind, but a fellow EQUAL with all of his brothers and sisters. Even Christ said I did not come to be served, but to serve. Of course with His death on the cross for us. 4: And this is a pretty important one- the BIBLE determines what IS and IS NOT Christian, and what IS and IS NOT Christianity. Correct? Ok then... if you are well read into catholicism, it becomes very clear VERY quickly that catholicism has SQUAT to do with Christianity, DIRECTLY VIOLATING MANY, and I mean a LOT of the core teachings of the faith!!! From how salvation works, to the nature of God, to the concept of righteousness, it is ALL different than what the Bible says. I know catholicism is one of the largest sects today, but size does not equal truthfulness. If that were the case, atheism would be supreme over Christ as the vast majority of people are not Christian, as the Bible itself states. Narrow gate, as you know. At the end of the day, this video will do a LOT, A TON of damage, to the ordinary persons view of Christianity and the Bible, and most importantly CHRIST. When you start contradicting what the Bible plainly says, I feel a bit offended and start to wonder if you've ever read it.... Please, Timeline, if you have any questions or need someone to talk to when you make a video like this, I can get you in contact with some EXCELLENT Christian sources, guys like Anthony Rogers, who has incredible knowledge on the subject, as well as Mike Winger, who is a pastor and makes really great videos about all things Christianity. This is very important to me which is why I am writing so passionately about it. This is quite literally life or death.

[@AR15andGOD]

A couple more things to add: The Bible says plainly that the "Church" is not a sect or a building, but the total body of true believers in Christ. Interestingly enough, when the term "catholic" was first used, its meaning actually meant "universal", so the "catholic church" actually means the universal Church, as in the total body of true believers as I stated earlier in this post. As time went on, 500-600 years or so, it morphed into its own sect that differs heavily with messianic judaism, aka Christianity. Christianity is WHOLEHEARTEDLY Jewish, which a lot of catholics and modern Christians do not understand. This is the religion of the Jews that we have adopted, just as we are adopted by the Father when we enter into Christ. The other thing: the ranking or heirarchy of the church at the time of the apostles and for long after was not church members, fathers, pope, etc. But instead was identical to modern protestant church heirarchies, with things such as deacons, bishops, things like that. But certainly no pope. Read up on the catholic decrees and councils, they are insane and contradict directly the plain and clear statements of the Bible. I find that when I quote catholic texts which are held as inerrant and infallible according to the church, and thus are eternally binding and permanent, a lot of catholics assume I'm lying and say I'm wrong when these are direct quotes. I think a big part of catholicism is the image, the idea of being part of the "true church", and being able to set your profile picture as a cool crusader or some other image is very attractive to a lot of young guys out there. To be part of a community like that with an image like that is very appealing. But the only thing that matters at the end of the day is whether or not it's true and in line with the historic actuality of the situation.

All of the Christ’s Apostles were Jewish. Jesus Christ was and remains the Jewish Messiah. Although, He is still denied by the Jews. Nevertheless; followers of Jesus Christ, even after His death and resurrection would meet in the Jewish Synagogues. That meeting and preaching was practiced until the Jews themselves declared them as followers of Christ as not Jewish at which point they became known as Christians or followers of Christ. Catholic, which means Universal or all, was adopted and remained used as synonymous with followers of Christ. Catholic and Apostolic refers to the Origins now of the Catholic Church. Decreed and affirmed throughout the conclaves and councils of the early Church and including those up to this time. Christ himself established His Church under the authority of St Peter, His Apostle. Catholicism is a direct descendant in Faith from the original Jewish believers in Jesus Christ. The Jews remain our older brothers in Faith as the chosen people of God. Peter was the first leader of the Jewish sect that was later to be called Christian and Universal. I hope this clarification in historical reference and explanation assists you.

Paul is the one who created the church as we know it, the early church was coopted by him and his sect grew faster because they baptized as many gentiles as they could. The OG Christians, adherents descended directly from the Apostles themselves, were declared heretics at Nicaea.

@@josephmaxwell5033 sorry Your Highness, but I've been listening since I was a child. You haven't provided anything to contradict anything I've said, you only hold fast to what you BELIEVE to be true. I'm done listening to the same old regurgitated trash; history is a series of real events with real consequences, not your fantasies about what you think they meant. There is a sufficient enough lack of evidence for a historical Jesus to begin with, but giving you the benefit of the doubt doesn't even support your case within the confines of belief in his physical existence.

Relics are often delivered in pieces to different holy places. Parts of the Buddha's body were placed in many shrines to him. They have dug into them and found in a holy box just one piece of bone, such as a finger bone. He was scattered far and wide in the lands so that all could be with him. The pope of the Crusades was not dumb either. He could have said bones were Peter's as a talisman or relic for people to trust in. I think the bones at the Vatican are the bones of Peter. The urn found in the church could hold a relic of those bones, too.

NEVER would Peter the Apostle exult himself to be a Leader of an apostate Church. Remembering also Christians were persecuted right up to Emperor Constantine 325AD when he adopted Christianity as the religion of the Empire (to unite the Empire).

[@mamamia601]

For the first thousand years of Christianity, the whole Christian world was CATHOLIC, until the Great Schism of 1054 and Protestantism of the 16th century Reformation came along. You speak of Christians persecuted prior to Constantine's adoption of Christianity. One of those martyred is St. Ignatius, bishop of Antioch who once wrote, "Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude of the people also be; even as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church." -Letter to the Smyrnaeans, Ch 8

[@propermindset87375]

Your statement is full of accusations. 1. If you accuse the Catholic Chruch to be apostate, then why does it still stand today? To whom did it turn its back to? Didn't Jesus say without Him, we can do nothing? And those who do not remain in Jesus will, like the parable He told, wither and be thrown away. And yet, the Roman Catholic Church still remains as it was, maintaining the unbroken line of apostolic succession. 2. Per your words, Constantine adopted Christianity, which is historically true. What particular religion did he adopt? Is it your religion? 3. Remember the famous story why Constantine converted to Christianity?

Pontiff was a Pagan position in Rome's pantheon. Julius Caesar had been a Pontiff. It comes from the Latin root - pon - which means bridge. The Pontiff was the "bridge" between man and the Gods. Now, when was the head of the Catholic Church titled "Pontiff" is a good question. I suspect it would have been after Constantine made Catholicism the official religion of Rome.

[@Awakeningspirit20]

So much of Christianity, especially Western Christianity, incorporates pagan elements to make the faith more relatable so it makes sense

[@craigkdillon]

@@Awakeningspirit20 Yep, a lot. Easter is a Celtic Goddess of fertility. They kept her name for the holiday. Also kept symbols of fertility --- bunnies and eggs. Christmas tree is also a Celtic symbol of the promise of life and spring -- it is EVERGREEN. Along with Holly and mistletoe. Kissing under the mistletoe was a Celtic custom during a wedding. Halloween also has Pagan origins. Gift giving during Christmas comes from the Roman Saturnalia holiday.
