1 | Ananias and Sapphira paid for their sin | Acts 5:9 | keliy | 213012 | ||
Since the Book of Acts is in the New Testament, Why did Ananias and Sapphira die for their sin, if Jesus had already died and paid the price for them? | ||||||
2 | Ananias and Sapphira paid for their sin | Acts 5:9 | skccab | 213051 | ||
Shalom Keliy, Let me say first that I'm at work and not on my own puter, so if you need scripture references, I can get to them way later tonight. But I consider the act of these two NT people goes back to the Torah where it says that once a thing is purposed in one's heart to give to God, it's His - it's not to be changed, not even for something better (and if one did change what was purposed then BOTH would belong to God). Annias and wife purposed to give ALL and then held some back - what they held back already belonged to God, it had become holy because it was His and they abused it. (I figure you probably know where this law is but if you need me to reference it, I can do so when I get home.) :o) Cheri |

Thank You, Cheri, I appreciate that you took time out of your schedule at work to send your thoughts. (that was very thoughtful of you :o) I also want to thank you for the link for the Torah Class mp3 studies, I listen everyday, and enjoy it very much. Praise God. I do believe this couple's sin goes back, as all sin does, to the beginning, concerning lust and pride. They were covetous of worldly wealth, and distrustful of God's providence. So in their attempt to serve God and mammon, they attempted to deceive the apostles. Trying to shortchange God, they shortchanged their very souls. My question, Cheri, had to do with why did the Blood of Christ not cover their sin? This was proposed to me by a brother who has been saved about 30 years before I. And though we were acquaintances, he (still) belongs to a church that does not accept the Word of God as the final authority for his life. So, his question, in trying to belittle the inspired Word of God deserves the best answer that the Spirit will lead me to. The convo was actually about how there is no remission of sin w/out the shedding of blood. In the OT, it was the blood of animals. In the NT, the blood of Christ put an end to the necessity of animals blood. I believe that Jesus had the final 3 words to say towards the salvation of mankind when He said, "It is finished." and the temple veil proved it. Thank you once more, in listening to the Torah Class just today, I heard the explanation of the difference between the New Testament and the New Covenant. As Tom Bradford puts it, the New Covenant was explained in the OT, and it is testified of in the New Testament. Shalom, keliy |

Hiya Keliy, After I pressed the submit button I realized my response didn't answer your question - which by the way is a very good one. (If you get a viable answer elsewhere please share it with me via email in my profile.) I'm very happy that you are enjoying Mr. Tom :o) His teachings have a way of just opening up sayings and events that took place in the NT in a way I've never viewed them before...and certainly sayings and events of the OT era that I've never been taught before. Are you listening to Genesis? Have you gotten to chapters 48-49 yet? He does an awesome job on those!! Shalom Cheri |
