Contradictions of Luke Pt. 2
The Book of Acts was written by Luke who was never a companion of Jesus, but a Gentile.
His Inconsistencies
| If you break the law or disobey the Holy Spirit you are a sinner. (Mark 3:29) | All that believe have sins of the laws of Moses taken away. (Acts 13:39) |
| Luke says Satan entered into Judas before the supper. (Luke 22:3, 4, 7) | Satan entered Judas during the last supper. (John 13:27) |
| Luke says Judas fell from a cliff and died. (Acts 1:18) | Matthew says Judas hanged himself. (Matthew 27:5) |
| Luke says Judas purchased the potter’s field. (Acts 1:18) | Matthew says the chief priests purchased the potters. (Matthew 27:6, 7). |
| More than three women came to the sepulchre. (Luke 24:10) | Just three women came to the sepulchre says Mark. (Mark 16:1) |
| Two men stood by the sepulchre says Luke. (Luke 24:4) | Only one man sat beside the sepulchre says Matthew. (Matthew 28:2-3) |
| Luke said that Salah was the son of Cainan. (Luke 3:35, 36) | Salah was the son of Arphaxad. (Genesis 11:12) |
| The infant Christ was not taken to Egypt. (Luke 2:22, 39) | The infant Christ was taken into Egypt. (Matthew 2:14, 15, 19, 21, 23) |
| Christ’s first sermon was in the plain. (Luke 6:17, 20) | Christ preached his first sermon on the mount. (Matthew 5: 1, 2). |
| Luke says that it was one blind man that approached Jesus. (Luke 18:35, 38) | Matthew reports two blind men approached Jesus. (Matthew 20:30) |
. . . What it all boils down to, Luke wrote the Book of Acts to verify Paul’s “calling.” He contradicts the events of the “calling” three times. It’s in the bible in black and white. Luke’s words are not to be trusted. He wrote his own opinions of what actually took place during Jesus’ ministry. Dates confirm that the Book of Acts was written twenty-seven years after the alleged crucifixion. The book of Luke was written twenty-five years after that.
