Why was Acts 29 removed from the Bible ?

[Apple Sky]

Or was it in the Bible in the first place to be removed ? Was there such a chaper as Acts 29 or was it all fabricated ? I reckon it was all fabricated, but why ?​

I'll leave you to decide.......

Here is the alleged chapter - Acts 29;

Acts of the Apostles 29:1 And Paul full of the blessings of Christ and abounding in the Spirit, departed out of Rome, determining to go to Spain, for he had for a long time purposed to go there and was minded also to go from there into Britain.

2/ For he had heard in Phoenicia that certain of the children of Israel, at the time of the Assyrian captivity, had escaped by sea to ‘the isles afar off’, as spoken by the prophet, [Jeremiah 31:10] and called by the Romans, Britain.

3/ As the Lord Commanded, the Gospel was to be preached to the Gentiles and to the lost sheep of the House of Israel. Matthew 15:24

4/ And no man hindered Paul, for he testified boldly of Jesus before the Tribunes and among the people. He took with him certain of the brethren who were with him in Rome. They took ship at Ostium and having the winds fair, were brought safely into a port of Spain.

5/ Many people gathered from the towns and the hill country, for they had heard of the conversion of Paul and the many miracles he had done.

6/ Paul preached mightily in Spain and a great multitude believed and became Christian, for they perceived that he was an Apostle sent by God.

7/ Then Paul and his company departed out of Spain, finding a ship in Armorica sailing to Britain, they went on it and passing along the south coast arrived in a port called Raphinus. [Portsmouth]

8/ Now when it was noised abroad that the Apostle had landed, great multitudes of the inhabitants met him and they treated Paul courteously as he entered their town by the East gate and lodged in the home of a Hebrew, one of his own kin. Romans 16:13

9/ Then they travelled to the main town of Britain, [Londinium] Paul stood upon Mount Lud, [Ludgate hill, where St Pauls Cathedral now stands] and the crowds thronged in Broadway as he preached Christ to them and many believed the Word and the Testimony of Jesus.

10/ In the evening the holy Ghost fell upon Paul and he prophesied, saying: ‘Behold, in the last days the God of peace shall dwell in this place and the citizens shall be numbered, then in the seventh numbering of the people, their eyes shall be opened and the glory of their inheritance will shine forth before them. Nations shall come up to worship on the mount that testifies to the patience and longsuffering of the servants of the Lord’.
11/ And in the latter days, new tidings of the Gospel shall issue forth out of Jerusalem and the hearts of the people will rejoice. Behold fountains will be opened and there will be no more plagues.

12/ In those days there shall be wars and rumours of wars and a king shall rise up, his Sword will be the healing of the nations, his Peace-making shall abide and the glory of his kingdom a wonder to the world. [The Millennium Kingdom of Jesus]

13/ Then some of the Druids came to Paul privately and showed to Paul by their rites and ceremonies that they were descended from Israel, who had escaped from their bondage in the land of Egypt. The Apostle believed them and he gave them the kiss of peace.

13/ Paul stayed in his lodging for three months, preaching the Gospel continually and confirming those in the faith.

15/ After this Paul and his friends sailed from there to Atium in Gaul. [France]

16/ There Paul preached in the Roman garrisons and among the people, exhorting all to repent and to confess their sins.

17/ There came to him some of the Belgae, [North Europeans] to enquire of him about this new doctrine and about the man Jesus. Paul opened his heart to them and told them all that had befallen him and how Christ Jesus had come into the world to save sinners. They departed, pondering among themselves the things they had heard.

18/ After much preaching and toil, Paul and his labourers passed into Helvetia, [Switzerland] and came to Mount Pontius Pilate, where he who had condemned Jesus had dashed himself down headlong, so perishing miserably.

19/ Then a torrent gushed out of the mountain and washed his broken body into a lake.

20/ Paul stretched forth his hands over the water and prayed to the Lord: “O Lord God, give a sign that here Pontius Pilate, who condemned your only begotten Son, has gone down into the pit.”

21/ As Paul was speaking, there came a great earthquake and the sign of the Cross was formed upon the lake.

22/ A Voice came from heaven saying, “Even Pilate has escaped the wrath to come, because he washed his hands before the crowd at the blood shedding of Jesus.”

23/ When therefore, Paul and those who were with him, saw the earthquake and heard the Voice, they glorified God and were mightily strengthened in spirit.

24/ They journeyed on and came to Mt Julius, [the Julian Alps, now the Dolomites] where there stood two pillars; right and left, erected by Caesar Augustus,

25/ Then Paul filled with the Holy Spirit, stood between those two pillars and said, “Men and brethren, these stones you see here shall testify of my travels to here and I say with certainty that they will remain until the outpouring of the Spirit onto all nations and the way, [the Gospel] will not be hindered throughout all generations.”

26/ They went forth and come to Illyricum, [the Balkan area; Romans 15:19] where they prospered and had peace, as grace was found in all the churches.

Acts 29 was not removed from the bible. It is a forgery created by someone for their own purposes.

 

[Apple Sky]

So did Paul visit Britain?

We know from classical records that the Phoenicians were very secretive about where they were sourcing all their materials. There are tales of Phoenician ships deliberately misleading rival fleets in order to hide their trade routes. However archaeological evidence has since revealed that the Phoenician trade route extended beyond the Iberian Peninsula and the “Pillars of Hercules”, right up to the British Isles with proven links to Cornwall and Devon. Without dismissing the Tarshish connection with southern Spain, this is certainly consistent with the Psalm 72 which implies Tarshish is an island with isles as well as other historical sources that describe Tarshish as an island.

Did Jesus also visit Britain ?

John 21:25
King James Bible
And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

 

[Apple Sky]

Acts 29 was not removed from the bible. It is a forgery created by someone for their own purposes.

How do you know this ?

 

[HTacianas]

How do you know this ?

Simply look at the history of it. It is not ancient. There is no mention of it among the Church Fathers. It just pops up one day with the claim that it is a missing book of the bible.

 

[Apple Sky]

There is no mention of it among the Church Fathers.

Well there wouldn't be if the church leaders didn't want the masses to know about it.

 

[HTacianas]

Well there wouldn't be if the church leaders didn't want the masses to know about it.

There is nothing that the Church leaders don't want the masses to know about. The Church has been in the business of spreading the gospel for two thousand years. Why spend two thousand years spreading the gospel and all along not letting anyone know what the gospel is.

Now when we look at it from the other direction we find countless thousands of people throughout history making the claim that the Church leaders aren't really the church leaders and that everyone should turn from the Church and follow them. Thousands of them. All with a different idea of what the gospel is. Sowing confusion. And to prove themselves right they forge documents. It's been going on since the days of the Gnostics.

 

[Apple Sky]

There is nothing that the Church leaders don't want the masses to know about.

What about the Book of Enoch and other books they've banned ?

 

[HTacianas]

What about the Book of Enoch and other books they've banned ?

The book of Enoch isn't banned, it's just not part of the bible. Mainly because it is a book. It's several different books spliced together. The only books ever to have been banned were the gnostic gospels of the second century. They were banned and ordered to be burned so that people would not be led astray by them. That's one of the founding pillars of Islam you might say. Mohammed didn't like the Church and claimed the bible was corrupted. He knew of some of the stories from the banned books and taught that they were the real gospel but had been hidden by the Church. But when the Nag Hammadi library was discovered it proved the Church to have been right all along.

Their is no secret to the gospel. There is nothing hidden from anyone. The gospel has been preached for two thousand years. There is nothing new to find about it.

 

[SabbathBlessings]

The 66 books of the bible are written exactly how God intended. What you posted seems to introduce spiritualism which is not coming from God.

Here's videos that details history of how the protestants really received the bible

He preserves His Word

Psa 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7 Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

Bwwwaaahaaahaaa....

You can't remove something that was never there in the first place.

 

[RandyPNW]

Why look for "hidden truths," covered up by supposed "conspiracies?" Is it boredom? Is it dissatisfaction with truths the Holy Spirit has already made clear? A quick read and a quick look to resources reveals that it may be some kind of Anglo-Israeli belief that someone wanted to insert into the Bible to give it credibility. Of course, it's not something that can easily be checked out, to encourage the gullible to accept it "on faith."

My understanding is that there are no available Greek manuscripts of Acts 29, and that it didn't exist prior to 1871. Do church leaders have the capacity to hide what the Holy Spirit wants us to know? Does God have to use a very few "conspiracy theorists" to bring the "whole truth" to us?

No. Everything we need to know has been published. Those who want to hunt for artifacts are welcome to do so. It's always fun to treasure hunt if something genuine is found. But nothing as important as the Gospel needs to be found in this way.

At best ancient archeological digs and the like can only confirm truths we already know by faith, by experience with God, and by the fundamental truths brought forward by the authentic Scriptures. Looking for supposed "nuggets" of truth brought by those with an agenda is nothing more than and appeal to the carnal nature of man via self-glorification.

 

[Reluctant Theologian]

Apart from the fact that no Church Father refers to Acts 29 (while references to the rest of the book are abundant), the story line of Acts 29 has a massive discontinuity relative to the preceding chapters of the 'real' Acts: it completely leaves out to explain how Paul managed to be release from custody and how his charge/trial was finalised. Acts 29:1 simply states ' (Paul) .. departed out of Rome .. '. That in itself is a red flag.

I still hope however the lost Hebrew/Aramaic original of the Gospel of Matthew were found.

"The text made its first appearance in London in 1871.[2] According to the editor, it was translated in the late 18th century by the French naturalist Sonnini de Manoncourt from a "Greek manuscript discovered in the archives at Constantinople and presented to him by the Sultan Abdoul Achmet". It was found hidden in an English translation of Sonnini's Voyage en Grèce et en Turquie in the library of Sir John Newport, MP (1756–1843) after his death. However, no trace of any such manuscript has been found, and from internal evidence, mainstream philology considers it to most likely be a fraud, thus it is classed among the modern pseudepigrapha."[2]

The Bible does not tell us the time and manner of Paul’s death, but we can be sure, he didn’t just retire and tend his garden!

neither does that "document" you are calling Acts 29 -- provide an account of Paul's death.

So I am not sure how that helps your case for considering whatever source that is - as something Luke would have written.

Here is Acts 29;

Acts of the Apostles 29:1 And Paul full of the blessings of Christ and abounding in the Spirit, departed out of Rome

I don't know of any letter by Paul are about Paul that says "Paul full of blessings".. in any of scripture.

2/ For he had heard in Phoenicia that certain of the children of Israel, at the time of the Assyrian captivity , had escaped by sea to ‘the isles afar off’,

I don't know of any text of scripture saying that Paul was trying to find where some ancient group of children of Israel had gone. He says nothing in any of his actual writings about trying to find every last person or group that had gone into Assyrian captivity in ancient times.

20/ Paul stretched forth his hands over the water and prayed to the Lord: “O Lord God, give a sign that here Pontius Pilate, who condemned your only begotten Son, has gone down into the pit.”

21/ As Paul was speaking, there came a great earthquake and the sign of the Cross was formed upon the lake.

even more "odd" by comparison to the rest of the NT

So did Paul visit Britain?


Did Jesus also visit Britain ?

No and no.

Britain got its name after England joined with Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

Paul was never put to death, so it is probable that he went on to Tarshish to preach.


PS
How do you do that, to get the verses to come up in blue so that when you run the cursor over them you can read them ? Thanks........
