Did Paul write Romans as a way of beginning a Church in Rome?
A:Paul wrote his Epistle to the Romans to a Christian community already established in Rome, so it could not have been his intention to begin a church in Rome. In that epistle, he expressed a desire to visit Rome on his way to Spain, and to preach his gospel to the church already existing in Rome. It seems likely that he did visit Rome on his way to Spain, but we have no way of knowing what his influence in Rome might have been.
Did Paul visit Rome before writing to the Romans?
No, Paul did not visit Rome before writing his letter to the Romans. The epistle was composed around AD 57 while he was in Corinth, and he expressed his intention to visit Rome in the future.

Why did Saint Paul visit Rome?
A:In his Epistle to the Romans, at verse 15:24, Paul says that he that he would stop over in Rome on his way to Spain. He also hoped to visit Rome to spread the gospel there (verse 1:15). Indeed, the Muratorian Fragment states that Paul travelled from Rome to Spain, and Clement of Rome, writing about 96 CE (1 Clement), says that Paul lastly preached in the far reaches of the west (Spain), and Paul would surely have stopped over in Rome before proceeding to Spain. From these sources, it would appear that Paul made a commitment to visit Rome for the reasons stated, and kept that promise before travelling on to Spain.Acts of the Apostles, on the other hand, says that Paul was taken as a prisoner to Rome and spent to whole years there, under house arrest. This voyage seems to be a little early for the tradition that Nero had Paul executed in Rome in 65 CE, since it seems unlikely that Paul would have been tried, acquitted of the charges against him, freed and then later arrested and executed. However, the historicity of the execution tradition is not what is in question, but whether Paul went to Rome of his own free will or under arrest.The voyage and shipwreck described in Acts have been doubted by many theologians, including Hans Joachim Schoeps, who says (Das Judenchristentum) that Acts energetically cultivates the creation of legends and reshapes persons and events according to its own standards and that it has been believed much too readily. This does not mean that the account in Acts is proven to be wrong, but it is quite unlikely to have happened. Thus, we fall back on the reasons given by Paul himself.

Why did Rome rather than Baghdad emerge as the capital of world Christianity?
Well, after Jesus death, Saul known as Paul was persecuting the Christians. After Jesus Christ appeared to him, he became a Christian. Now Paul was a natural born citizen of Rome, so whenever he had the chance he traveled to Rome. Possibly to visit his family. Now Paul was an evangelist and whenever he preached, most of the people he preached to became Christians. From there, the good news of Christianity was spread. That is why Rome is the capital of world Christianity.
