Bible Question: I want to know what anyone out there thinks. In the story of Ananias and sapphira from the book of Acts chapter 5 verses 1-24, do you think that ananinias and sapphira went to heaven or to hell? Peace and grace 2 all who read this message. YOurs in Christ jewdiza2j |
Bible Answer: Greetings, jewdiza2j; I don't think anyone can say for certain because no one but God knows what was in their hearts. The preceeding passage Acts(4:32-37) describes the believers' behavior; in comparison, Ananias and Sapphira look like unbelievers. The instant judgment (or at least making an example of them) seems to support this. But they could have been saved believers who made a really dumb choice. Perhaps lying to the Holy Spirit in this way (Acts 5:3) grieves the Holy Spirit and hence is an unforgivable sin ("But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin." - Mark 3:29). The Bible does not explicitly tell us, so nobody can say for certain. Much better to assure one's own destination, then look for them there! HTH Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |
