Written decades after all eyewitnesses had died as pure propaganda. Luke/Acts was a response to Matthew v Mark war. Mark had vomited all over the James community, Matthew tried to redeem the James community a bit, Luke/Acts tries to put Pauline and James community on equal footing.

Now it's true Paul pushed for charity and tried for a semi-equality in his churches but how much he pushed or how much of that goal was "nice to have" is debatable. It's likely his letters were transcribed by slaves for example.

Basically this is a classic example of ancestor worship. With an added twist that the author was trying to win a political point or two.

It's almost like the whole thing was made up to push people's agendas.

Sure, but the fun part is when those conservative Christians are also inerrantists.
