Bible Question: 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? |
Bible Answer: 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 |
