The Reformation isn't over.
ROME — The earliest known icons of the Apostles Peter and Paul have been discovered in a catacomb under an eight-story modern office building in a working-class neighborhood of Rome, Vatican officials said Tuesday.
The images, which date from the second half of the 4th century, were discovered on the ceiling of a tomb that also includes the earliest known images of the apostles John and Andrew. They were uncovered using a new laser technique that allowed restorers to burn off centuries of thick white calcium carbonate deposits without damaging the dark colors of the original paintings underneath.
The paintings adorn what is believed to be the tomb of a Roman noblewoman in the Santa Tecla catacomb and represent some of the earliest evidence of devotion to the apostles in early Christianity, Vatican officials said in opening up the tomb to the media for the first time.
Last June, the Vatican announced the discovery of the icon of Paul — timed to coincide with the end of the Vatican's Pauline year. At the time, Pope Benedict XVI also announced that tests on bone fragments long attributed to Paul "seemed to confirm" that they did indeed belong to the Roman Catholic saint.
Rome is still facinated with bones..

What is even more disgusting and appalling is that the article calls the Apostle Paul a "Roman Catholic Saint"
How putrid. -

Sometimes we are not articulate enough when we write and things can be misconstrued.
In addition, there is a another sense that we are indeed all filthy in the sight of God and that's why He sent His Son to cleanse us with His blood.

So, all Roman Catholics are my enemy because I belong to Jesus.
By Roman Catholicism I mean the papacy and doctrines of the papists..which thing I hate and detest, and I seek to do so both as God commands and how God Himself hates.
Psalm 5:5
The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
Psalm 26:5
I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.
Psalm 31:6
I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.
Proverbs 8:13
The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
Revelation 2:6
But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.
These are the Holy Scriptures of God. Why should I not hate the congregation of evil doers? Why should I not hate them that regard lying vanities? Why should I not fear the Lord and hate evil, pride, and arrogancy and the evil way?
Why should I not hate the deeds and doctrines of false teachers?
I think these things offend the western/american mind because they have a false concept of biblical hatred, or do not respect the Word of God as they ought. We tell men to hate the sin but love the sinner. Do you mean to charge Almighty God with evil or both hates iniquity and the workers thereof?
Or are you so easily offended at the Word of God that you would pervert it to your own liking? -

I have no idea what the Nicolaitians believed and taught. I do know that my Lord Jesus hated their doctrines. I do know that the true Christians hated their doctrines. And it is plain that it was false doctrine, and not according to the doctrine of Christ and His Apostles--just like papal doctrine, but papal doctrines are worse than Nicolatians I would think. -
