Seven Reasons Acts is a Provable Hoax

To begin I would like to assert that in bringing up the errors in Acts, the Pauline epistles and the pdeudepgraphical writings attributed to Peter (1 and 2 Peter), this blog and YouTube channel in no ways comes against the teachings of Jesus Christ and His everlasting Gospel.  In fact, this ministry promotes what Jesus said and did as the only way to everlasting life.  What He is reported to have taught and done in the Gospels of Matthew and John as well as in the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, is what I believe we can all base the entirety of our belief systems upon and is the only Gospel on which we can be assured of salvation.  In fact that's what Jesus taught when He said His Words or His sayings are the rock upon which we build. 

Jesus also taught of Himself constantly from the Torah and the Prophets.  Contrarily, in Acts 15 when the "apostles" are laying out their edict regarding circumcision and what commands the Gentiles should observe, their decisions are not based on anything from the Torah, Prophets or the Words of Jesus, but on a "gnosis" they claim to have come from the Holy Spirit, but, as you will see from the facts presented below, their decisions clearly contradict the Torah, the Prophets, and Jesus Himself.  

In addition, the fact that the false teachings found in Acts, Paul's epistles as well the pseudepigraphical writings attributed to Peter in 1 and 2 Peter (Peter did not write these epistles) have superseded Jesus' plain and everlasting Gospel (which is also contained in 1 John) is a horrible state of affairs that has led many down the broad road that leads to destruction.  

Today's blog and podcast are only meant to help us divest of any reliance on these unbiblical writings which were placed in our Bibles by the "Pope" Damasus at the Council of Rome in 382 AD. (The very name "pope," which means "father," is a heresy as Jesus commanded we call no man father in the religious sense:

By 382, the Church at Rome had become the Catholic Church, having sprinted a long way down the road of apostasy, and it is no small wonder the writings of Acts, Paul and Pseudo Peter are found within their approved canon, because these works go such a long way to give power, money and control to a hierarchal power, such as what the Vatican sports until this very day.  

If you want to understand conspirators, look to their motivation.  The initial motivation in Acts is to take the power, control and money from the supplicants and centralize it in one spot: as always, the "haves" taking from and creating the "have nots". I will never believe that the real apostles did this and to my very core believe this narrative is there to serve the purpose of gaining power, control and resources.  

The other dastardly motivation is to make sure that gentile converts to Jesus and His Father, the Hebrew God, would not covenant with the Father nor keep His commandments, rather, they would believe in some vague abstraction of a God and whatever form of morality Acts and Paul provide, while Acts and Paul completely untether gentiles from the Law of God Himself but rather enchain them to Paul's whims as well as man's statutes, both of which Paul tells you that you will be damned in eternity for breaking (Galatians 3 and Romans 13).  

Finally, Acts and Paul, for the Gentiles especially, attack the everlasting covenant of circumcision (not only for Abraham's seed, but for those attached to His house, which we are, as children raised up of these stones) as a sign of that covenant (Genesis 17).   

This blog is meant to help anyone to see that we, that is to say, all Believers, of Hebrew birth or not, are meant to be of one fold and of one Shepherd, with one set of rules to go by.  

It's been that simple since the beginning, all that love the Father should desire to show that love by keeping His commandments. Circumcision was established even before the law in Genesis 17, was codified in the law, and was and is meant for everyone forming a covenant with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. To form that covenant with the Father is an honor and a privilege, not some evil drudgery. 

So now let’s make a list of the obvious frauds and false teachings found in the Book of Acts:

1. Mark 16 ends reporting that the apostles “went everywhere preaching, signs following,” after they had received the great commission to “go to all the world, every creature and to all nations” in both Mark 16 and Matthew 28.  Instead, the early parts of Acts has the apostles holing up in Jerusalem, forming a commune replete with taking all the money of the participants for redistribution at the hands of the apostles, who had now essentially assumed the role of a government with fiscal responsibilities who took in taxes for redistribution.  Jesus never taught this, in fact, in opposition to just such a condition, the rich young ruler who Jesus told to sell all that he had was also told to give it to the poor, not Himself, and come follow ME.  The purpose of this being in Acts is to create hierarchal system which can abscond with the money of the supplicants.  This is Satan’s first insertion into Acts.

2. During this time, it is said that Peter pronounces a curse of death of Ananias and Saphira for lying about how much of the sale of their property they were donating to the cause.  This was the same man, who had within a just few short years prior, lied three times in a row about even knowing Jesus.  This does not compute.

3. Paul comes along and has his Damascus Road conversion experience, where Jesus evidently shows himself to Paul in a desert place (something he said he would not do in Matthew 24), and essentially bullies Paul into believing the Truth about His Messiahship, also something the Father NEVER does.  Take, for example, the parable of the Prodigal Son, in which the father DOES NOT chase after his errant son, rather, the errant son returns to his father in great humility.  So we are to believe that Paul, in a rage and about to kill Jesus’ followers, would get, in that state an experience that would serve to save his soul?  In addition, as all fish stories, the facts of the story, which is told three times within Acts, change with each telling.  For example, in one of the tellings, the men with him hear something, but see nothing.  In another, they hear nothing, but see something.  In one of the tellings, the men all fall to the ground, while in another they are left standing.  In two of the tellings, Jesus says very little, but in the third he gives a long soliloquy.  Also, the story itself seems to have drawn from a play by Euripides called Bacchae.  A witness with such contradictions would not be put in the witness box by any modern lawyer, especially when the story itself can’t be told consistently and appears to site fiction.

4. Peter and the apostles needing to see a sheet descend with unclean animals with the Holy Spirit telling Peter to BREAK GOD’S ETERNAL law and eat those animals so that he can then understand that the Gentiles are to preached to is absurd on its face, but Peter and the apostles acting as if they didn’t ALREADY know they were to preach to the Gentiles due to JESUS TELLING THEM to do so with the GREAT COMMISSION, found at the ending of both Matthew and Mark, and at the BEGINNING OF ACTS!!!  

5. Peter stating that the Hebrews can’t keep the law in chapter 15 when agreeing that the Gentiles SHOULD NOT BE SUBJECTED TO CIRCUMCISION (I don’t believe he ever said that), when by chapter 21 it was decided that Hebrew Believers would indeed still keep the law, is a contradiction internal to Acts that literally exposes its bipolar nature and that the Holy Spirit could not have been contradictory to Himself as Acts presents.

6. The decision by the supposed “council” (where are the other apostles? Why are they not mentioned by name?) to only require four things of the Gentiles as far as the law went (don’t eat things sacrificed to idols (which Paul will teach Gentiles they can do in 1 Car 8), don’t drink blood, or eat things strangled, or fornicate) and to say that if they want to learn the law, they can do so in Jewish synagogues where Moses is taught, is insane on its face.  Why would they need to send converted Gentiles to people who hate Jesus, do not believe He is the Messiah, to learn God’s law? Where is the acknowledgment that Jesus is God’s Word?  Why would they not teach them from the law and the Prophets just as Jesus taught Himself?  Also, why, when and stranger had attached themselves to Israel were they required to keep one law, not two different laws with two different standards?  Why did Jesus tell the apostles He would take two folds and make them one, with one fold and one Shepherd?  How could there then be two laws for one fold.  The Holy Spirit had nothing to do with this decision.

7. The circumcision controversy was Paul and Acts trying to take away an EVERLASTING COVENANT from the Gentiles.  Genesis 17 makes clear that not only Hebrews, but those who are attached to the house of Abraham (which we are since we have the Faith of Abraham and have been raised up children unto Abraham of these stones) are to circumcise as part of an everlasting covenant.  This covenant is a honor and a privilege.  Why does Acts represent the Apostles speaking of it as such a burden, and the law itself as a burden when John the Apostle in 1 John states the obvious, that the commandments of God ARE NOT GRIEVOUS.  This whole narrative besmirches the character of the Father and makes him out to be the DEMIURGE that the gnostics claim the Hebrew God to be (as well as Marcion of Sinope).

In conclusion, the Book of Acts, while potentially having some historical facts, has so many contradictions as to prove to us that we ought to receive Jesus’ Gospel found especially in the Matthew, John and Revelation, as well as that of His Apostle John in 1 John, to find ourselves standing on the firm foundation which is the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Any diversion from that Gospel sends one down the perilous and dangerous road that leads to destruction, but if you follow Jesus you will overcome and find the way down the straight and narrow road that leads to everlasting life.
