What did Simon do after Acts 8 according to historical findings?
Historical and archaeological findings indicate that Simon left Samaria and became an enemy of the Gospel. He is also identified as a probable promoter of Gnosticism, a total counterfeit of Christianity, though Scripture gives no hint he ever changed his mind after Peter's rebuke.
Les teaches that Simon didn't get the truth in his heart; he only saw with the physical and material what was to be gained, saying, 'Hey, I want that.' Peter told him to repent of his wickedness and pray God, but Scripture gives no hint Simon ever changed his mind. Les also mentions a book they read lately where Simon was probably the promoter of what was later called Gnosticism, a total counterfeit of Christianity. According to archaeological and historical findings, Simon went from Samaria and actually became the enemy of the Gospel, which Les can believe because Simon was a satanically endowed individual.
