"an orb that ought to be on his tomb"

What if there were another possible answer here? Sir Isaac Newton was a Baconian, and they were all lovers of bad puns. What if the missing apple from the top of the tomb was a joke..............."There should be an "apple on us" (Apollonius) but it is missing"...............And history and the church have done their damnedest for about 2000 years to erase the real history of Apollonius of Tyanna (Apollo, A-Paul-o, Paul) the second coming of Jesus (Chi-Zeus) who died in about 100 BC by being stoned to death and hung on a tree, and Apollonius of Tyanna returned immediately (same entity as Jesus, reincarnated) to continue his work, but the folks (political hacks, under Constantine) at the Council of Nicea in 324-325 AD blended the two lives of the same entity into a fable as a state religion for Rome, which is what we pretty much have today. Read very carefully all of "Acts" and see that it is in fact the same story as the first 4 Gospels with the names changed.

Some references and comments:

Acts, Chapter 5, verse 30: “The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.”

Now wait a minute. I thought it was a cross. You mean it was a tree? And not a cross? I really thought there was a difference?

Acts, Chapter 10, Verse 39: “And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:”

There’s that tree again. Come on, now, was it a tree or a cross?

Acts, Chapter 18, verses 24 & 25: “And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scripture, came to Eph’-e-sus. This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.”

Is this Apollos the same as Apollonius? How would Apollos know John the Baptist?

Acts, Chapter 18, verses 27 & 28: “And when he was disposed to pass into A-cha’-ia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace: For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.”

And this Apollos, whoever he was, helped the disciples? And another thing, also, I thought it had just said he was Jewish? Why would he have to ‘mightily’ convince the Jews, if he was one, that Jesus, who was a Jew, was Christ, if he was one? I’m confused.

Acts, Chapter 19, verses 6 & 7: “And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake in tongues, and prophesied. And all the men were about twelve.”

And Paul had twelve people here that he laid his hands on and they received the Holy Ghost, and they spoke in tongues? Did I read this somewhere else before? A teacher with twelve friends?

Acts, Chapter 20, verse 25: “And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.”

And Paul is saying this? I thought someone else said this.

Acts, chapter 20, verses 28 – 31: “ Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, Which he hath purchased with his own blood. For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.”

Three years? I thought someone else was back out of the wilderness to do that? What is this, a carbon copy issue or something?

Acts, Chapter 21, verses 11 – 14: “And when he was come unto us, he took Paul’s girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles. And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem. Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus. And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.”

I thought someone else did this? What am I looking at?

Acts, Chapter 21, verses 27 & 28: “And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him, Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.”

These seven days wouldn’t be the time of Passover, would they? Where have I read this before? I’m getting confused.

Acts, Chapter 21, verses 33 & 34: “Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done. And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.”

This wouldn’t be the same castle where Jesus was taken to, now, would it be?
