This is wrong on so many counts, I don't know where to start.
There is some dispute over when Luke wrote Acts.
Some scholars say it was before the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD, since that event is not mentioned. They say it may be somewhere between 62 - 70 AD. Paul died in 62 -64 AD, so it's possible that most of his letters were written before the book of Acts.
Other scholars place the writing of Acts much later - 70-90 AD. If that is the case, and there must be some evidence for thinking that, than ALL Paul's letters were written before Acts.
No; "thy kingdom come, thy will be done ON EARTH, as in heaven."
Jesus healed Gentiles, taught and proclaimed the kingdom of God to them.
Who said? What's your source?
Temple worship continued til 70 AD, and the Jewish nation and religion were not wiped out after that time.
Again, who says?
No, the gifts are the gifts of the Holy Spirit, 1 Corinthians 12, Romans 12, Ephesians 4:11, who was poured out on Jews and also on Gentiles, Acts of the Apostles 10:34-35, Acts of the Apostles 10:45, Acts of the Apostles 11:17.
The New Covenant was signed in Jesus' blood, Matthew 26:28.
Jesus said that his blood was the blood of the New Covenant; are you saying he was lying?
Among the gifts of the Spirit are teaching, Romans 12:7; 1 Corinthians 12:28, Ephesians 4:11 - is that a "fake, wannabe" gift?
Also among the gifts of the Spirit are evangelism, 1 Corinthians 12:28; Ephesians 4:11, encouragement, Romans 12:8, giving to the needs of others, Romans 12:8, administration, 1 Corinthians 12:28, leadership, Romans 12:8. Are these also fake "I wannabe a magician" gifts?
Evidence?
I take it you're a cessationist then?
Evidence?
Jesus told the 12 to go into every nation, preach the Gospel and teach people what he had taught them. As I said, he himself taught, and ministered to, Gentiles.
Teaching, preaching and evangelism are gifts of the Spirit, and not given only to Jews - since Gentiles were also baptised in the Holy Spirit.
The book of Acts was written by a Gentile.
I'm not going to waste my time responding to your traditions. If you can't see that the only scripture TO and ABOUT anyone living today is found in Paul's 7 post-Acts epistles, that's your gigantic problem.
(1) The Hope in those 7 post-Acts books is Heaven itself, where God lives, Ephesians 1:20, Ephesians 2:6 . The Hope during Acts was the New Jerusalem, Gal 4:26, which isn't Heaven. It comes down from Heaven and attaches to the New Earth. Just that huge difference in Callings is absolute proof that these are 2 totally different dispensations and they can't be mixed
(2) Everything in Paul's Acts epistles was derived from the OT, Acts 26:22. Everything Paul wrote after Acts is part of a mystery hid in God before the ages Ephesians 3:9,Colossians 1:26, Here again, this is absolute proof that Acts and after Acts cannot be mixed.
(3) Two totally different dispensations - one all-Israel and one all-Gentile (the 3rd absolute proof they can't be mixed). Acts was all Israel because the Gentiles were grafted into Israel. NEVER in the Bible, since Gen 12, have Israel and the Gentiles EVER been treated the same. Since I'm a Gentile, I pick the all-Gentile after-Acts books. Nothing I know of from Acts is TO me or ABOUT me. I read Acts a lot, but just for my learning
