The rapture is finally here again!

Luke also wrote the book of Acts. When you do a proper study, you find the evidence that he did in fact write both letters.

If the same author wrote both the Gospel of Luke and Acts, why do they disagree on when Jesus flew up into the sky (surely an event of memorable import):

Compare the last chapter of Luke where Jesus was carried up into Heaven immediately after the resurrection and his reunion with the disciples with Acts 1:3 where Jesus preaches for 40 days after the resurrection before being taken up.

You are also wrong about the eyewitnesses. John and Peter were both eyewitnesses of Jesus and His ministry.

I'm curious what you think of 1John 4:1-3 and 2John 1:7 where he testifies that some early Christians didn't believe in a flesh-and-blood Jesus.

Paul was an eyewitness of the resurrected Jesus.

...and he denies that Jesus had lived within his lifetime. 1Cor 15:8

Paul also wrote that at least 500 people were eyewitnesses of the risen Jesus.

Compared to 120 believers numbered in Acts 1:15.

Well, perhaps 380 of the eye witnesses saw Jesus flying off into the sky and said "meh, what does that prove?"

Here's the real courious thought...why do we not have even one piece of written evidence of the time to counter these claims?

The works of critics of Christianity are "lost to us" and only come to us as they are quoted by Christian defenders of the faith.
