Subject: Why was Ananias struck dead? |
Bible Note: What does scripture say here? They kept back some and Sapohira knew it, yet he presented it and fell dead. Then the reason why is explained in Act 5 Verse 4 I paraphrase, "Sapphira came in and was asked if they had sold the property for what they had given and she said yes. Peter then said why lie, it was your property you could have done what you wanted? Why have you conceived such a thing in your heart? What was such a thing? It was to play like they were big shots selling and giving it all to the church. When in fact they only gave a portion. That was a lie they tied to pass by the Holy Spirit and it didn't work. No extortion they didn't have to sell the property, they could have sold it and said we are giving you half, a quarter of it all. But they didn't they sold it one price, secretly held back some and pretended to give all of the sale. That was the problem. |
