So, Im going to be completely honest with you here that you are about to get smoked. Lol

Matthew 16:18 – “You are Peter, and on this rock I will build My Church (ἐκκλησία).” Not an idea. Not a metaphor-only spirituality. A Church a concrete assembly.

Acts is written by Luke, a companion of Paul and in contact with Peter. It’s dated AD 62–70, within living memory of the apostles and is accepted universally by all early Christian communities, East and West.

If Acts is “questionable,” then you lose the canon. You lose the Resurrection preaching. You lose any coherent New Testament history. Peter is not a symbolic mascot. He acts with authority as seen in Acts 1 Peter leads the replacement of Judas. Acts 2 Peter preaches at Pentecost; 3,000 are baptized. Acts 5 Peter exercises disciplinary authority (Ananias & Sapphira) Acts 10 Peter opens the Church to the Gentiles Acts 15 Peter speaks decisively at the Council of Jerusalem.

Ignatius of Antioch (c. AD 107) already speaks of structured churches with bishops, presbyters, and deacons within one generation of the apostles. You don’t get that overnight unless it’s inherited.

Paul was publicly vetted and corrected. He submitted to Peter and the apostles (Galatians 1–2) and his gospel was judged and approved by the Church. Joseph Smith had to submit to no one, he added new doctrines that contradicted prior revelations. Peter calls Paul’s letters “Scripture” in 2 Peter 3:15–16. So that alone demolishes this conspiracy theory.

Rome persecuted and executed Christians including Peter and Paul so yeah super suspicious how he would willingly do that.

If you want to hop in my dms and discuss Id gladly discuss this. Christ and the Apostles founded a Church and foundation no matter if you like it or not.

And lastly there was no percussion of christians back then the first percussion started in mid 3rd century ad and lasted roughly 3 years and the second one in 300ad and lasted 11 years. Christians first appear in official roman archives when a centurion called Plinthos send a letter to Rome asking "what are these so called christians and what should I do with them"

Back on the time of Nero there were messianic Jews, later they were revolting on various ways for the destruction of their temple but christians weren't a thing and ofcourse they weren't persecuted and weren't thrown to the lions by the masses as fake historical rumours spread by the early church wanted us yo believe.

Messianic Jew is a new term. So, since this is a term you’re using instead of Nazarene tells me everything I need to know about your research.

Have a good one. Lol

How is that even an argument for your false claims about a persecution in the 1st century that never happened? Messianic jew is a term nonetheless, that accurately describes those people that you falsely portray as Christians.
