St Paul crucified

Answer 1

peter upside down,Andrew was crucified

Answer:There is no New Testament record of any apostle being crucified. The only apostle whose death is recorded in scripture was James the son of Zebedee, who was killed "with the sword;" that is, beheaded (Acts 12:2).

Answer 2

Many players in the Scriptures went to Spain and many think the 'isles in the sea' are the British Isles where evidence suggest both Peter and Paul ministered in. Paul seems to implore in 2 Timothy that Mark and others should come to him quickly - indicating his soon demise?

Here is an interesting tidbit from the Catholic Church history. In the year 656 Pope Vitalian decided the Catholic Church was not interested in the remains of the apostles Peter and Paul. THE POPE THEREFORE ORDERED THEM SENT TO OSWY, KING OF BRITAIN! Here is part of his letter to the British king:

"However, we have ordered the blessed gifts of the holy Martyrs, that is, the relics of the blessed apostles, Peter and Paul, and of the holy martyrs Laurentius, John, and Paul, and Gregory, and Pancratius, to be delivered to the bearers of these our letters, to be by them delivered to you (Bedes "Ecclesiastical History", bk. III, ch. 29).

Apparently both Peter and Paul were buried in Rome. And it makes sense that the World Power then would bring all who 'usurp' the Pax Romana to justice there.

Answer 3

In 2 Corinthians, Paul tells us that while preaching to the gentiles in Damascus, he was let down a wall in a basket, to escape arrest by the governor. He seems to have been arrested again later. However, there is no evidence that he died for his faith. A later tradition is that he was executed in Rome.

Clement of Rome, writing around 95 CE (1 Clement), ought to have known if Paul was executed in Rome just a few decades earlier, but seems to have thought Paul went to Spain, where he might well have continued preaching until his natural death.

Answer 4

Paul was executed by beheading in about 68AD during Nero's persecution of Christians.

Answer 5

The early church fathers say that Peter was crucified in Rome at about the same time as Paul, during Nero's reign.

Answer 6

There is no historical record or evidence to suggest that St. Paul was crucified. St. Paul is believed to have been martyred through beheading in Rome.
