Does the Bible prove there are anachronisms in the Book of Mormon?
Acts 10 is another landmark chapter that brings in a very important part of Christian history – especially for the non-Jewish pagan Gentiles – the reception of the Good News. . Before this chapter, the Gospel was preached only to the Jews. God had covenanted with the Nation of Israel and it was through them that the very Messiah would come, and the gospel would be offered to them first.
Back in Acts chapter 9, we read that Peter wound up in a place called Joppa in the house of a man named Simon the Tanner. Which now takes us to Acts 10:1-2 “There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion (a Roman commander of 600 hundred men). A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always.” Cornelius was a believer in the One True God. But he did not know Jesus. Verses 3-4 “He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day (3:00 pm) an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him Cornelius. And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord (meaning, what is it sir)? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.” Then the angel gives Cornelius instruction. Verses 5-6 “And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter: He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.” So, Cornelius sent his servants to Joppa.
