ACTS of the APOSTLES
Chapter 5, Verses 1-11

Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. With his wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles’ feet.

Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.”

When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened. Then some young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him.

About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. Peter asked her, “Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land?”

“Yes,” she said, “that is the price.”

Peter said to her, “How could you conspire to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.”

At that moment she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband. Great fear seized the whole church and all who heard about these events.

"To him who is able to keep you from
stumbling and to present you before
his glorious presence without fault
and with great joy—to the only God
our Savior be glory, majesty, power
and authority, through Jesus Christ
our Lord, before all ages, now
and forevermore! Amen."

[Red Badger]

These artists almost always show Peter as an old man, I wonder where they get this idea? Other Apostles as well.......................

[Hebrews 11:6]

I am puzzled by that also.

[Red Badger]

I doubt that Jesus would have had old guys as apostles, they had to walk great distances and such. That why he picked mostly fishermen, as they were fit and healthy...............

[Hebrews 11:6]

There you go, showing off that big brain again.

[Red Badger]

Just an opinion, they may have actually been old, but we won’t know until Jesus comes back......................

[Hebrews 11:6]

Pretty sure He and the Spirit picked the right guys................................

[Red Badger]

Oh for sure, but we have no idea what they looked like........................

[left that other site]

The Sin of Ananias and Saphira wasn’t the fact that they kept some of the money. Peter made that clear, when he said, “Wasn’t it all yours to begin with?”

The sin was that they conspired to lie about their gift so that they would look extra-spiritual compared to everyone else.

In other words...VIRTUE SIGNALING!

It’s been around for a long time.

[Hebrews 11:6]

You nailed it. God, through Peter, certainly made quite an example of them.

[Hebrews 11:6]

You kept the same Isaiah tagline for so long that I’m struggling now to keep up.

[left that other site]

There are so many good ones in the Bible, I have to keep changing them.

[Hebrews 11:6]

It’s probably a good thing, then, that taglines have such a restrictive character-limit.
