Book in the bible that disagrees with Acts of Apostles?

Are there any books in the bible that disagree or are not similar at all to what happens in acts? It's for an essay and I really need examples. Thanks so much. 10 points asap if you answer!!

Update:

Or doesn't have to necessarily disagree with Acts, but is unlike books that emphasize unity and harmony within the early Church

    Paul has some accounts of events that also are reported in Acts, and the two accounts are often quite different.

    If you are looking for out-and-out contradictions, I think if you use google, and know how to use a search engine very well, you'll get a lot of sites that will give you specific chapter and verse of tons of places where there are discrepancies, and then you can go look for yourself and see if you are satisfied with the results or you think the two accounts can be reconciled.

    I personally have seen so many instances of discrepancies that I'll never go back. I'm not into arguing, but I've seen just tons and tons of places where there's no way the two sources can be reconciled. And if a dittohead is shown this stuff, they just will refuse to see it; they'll just make all sorts of hand springs to pretend there are no discrepancies.

    The book of Acts does not agree with the teaching of Jesus. For example, the story of Ananias and Sapphira. Here God is shown as one who meets instant justice as in the Jewish scriptures.

    Robert made the comment on Ananias and Sapphira...they were instantly punished because of lying about the land they sold...punished by death.

    This does NOT contradict Jesus' requirement that we love one another...because Jesus was NOT sent to punish...but to teach about the Kingdom...Luke 4:43

    It is Jehovah who has the right to punish...and he is saving it all up...for Armageddon...

    None that I know of. The acts would supercede anything in the old testament anyway.
