Subject: Were Ananias and Sapphira believers? |
Bible Note: Thanks for the input, after doing a little further studying, I also believe this to be the case. So actually, it was a blessing for them that God took them to Heaven. But I think the lesson was for the rest of the church, because there is a natural human desire to want to live a long life. So the message sent to the rest of the church was loud and clear, God deals with sin!!!!!! |
