See [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans1:8-15&version=KJV Romans 1:8-15].</ref> and Peter served as the bishop for 25 years until A.D. 67 when he was [[martyr]]ed. Paul's [[Epistle to the Romans]] most clearly and plainly is written to an already established Christian community that he himself had never before seen or visited, and is therefore written to a church obviously founded by someone other than himself.<ref>See '''Romans 1:11-13; 15:22-24'''. Writers who assert that the Apostle Paul is actually the one who founded the church in Rome are either ignorant of scripture, or they are lying. If they have in fact actually read the Bible, especially ''Romans'', but still insist beyond any doubt that Paul himself by the Holy Spirit originally founded the church in Rome, and they are not lying, but only unknowingly repeating a falsehood, then they are blinded by a false doctrine which teaches that Paul was the real founder of the Christian community of believers in Rome, a doctrine in opposition to the clear teaching of the Bible. Writers and denominations that teach this false doctrine should be avoided, but if they are unavoidable, then they should be calmly and gently corrected by simply pointing out and emphasizing these passages in ''Romans''. See Titus 3:10-11; James 5:19-20; 2 Peter 3:15-18. <br>Compare [[Falsehood]], [[Lie]] and [[Deceit]].<br>See also [[Cafeteria Christianity#Proof texts|Proof text]].<br> See the following articles:
