Subject: Ananias and Sapphira paid for their sin |
Bible Note: Thank You, Brad. part of your answer somewhat echoes a teaching of my very knowledgeable pastor, your post stated, "...it was the first time that believers had issued such a challenge to God, so it was important for God to act clearly and decisively..." My thoughts were that the church had not been formed yet, so Ananias and Sapphira were judged from the rule of the OT, and certainly not from the teaching of the NT, as found in Rom 8:1 Yet my theory holds no water, since the birthday of the Church is in 2nd chapter of Acts, and the purging of Ananias and Sapphira from the church is not until chapter 5. I was actually hoping someone could shed some further light, but as they say, we will all know soon enough :o) keliy |
