According to Luke, the person who wrote the book, Peter is telling the people that King David, whom they all know, has died and was buried, and they can still visit his tomb. This means David was an important person, but he was just a person, and he lived and died like everyone else.

Acts 2:29: Men [and] brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. [let me: or, I may]

Contradiction with Luke 23:43

Jesus tells the thief on the cross that he will be with Him in paradise that day, implying an immediate afterlife, contradicting the concept of David not ascending to the heavens as implied in Acts 2:29.

Luke 23:43: And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

Contradiction with John 3:13

States that no man has ascended to heaven except Jesus, which conflicts with the implication that David might be in heaven, as suggested by some interpretations of Acts 2:29.

John 3:13: And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, [even] the Son of man which is in heaven.

Contradiction with 2 Corinthians 5:8

Suggests that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, indicating immediate transition to an afterlife that contrasts with Peter's statement about David remaining in the tomb in Acts 2:29.

2 Corinthians 5:8: We are confident, [I say], and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
