Why did God kill Ananias and Sapphira for lying? Did Ananias and Sapphira really deserve to be put to death for lying about how much they gave from the sale of their property?

I Believe Peters Anger did…Lets watch tho
In this era, God is been too merciful. The reason I say that is because of TV preachers or evangelists' so-called prophets lying and stealing from the vulnerable. When I see their corruption I think about God's mercy and love for these charlatans trying to deceive the sheep with their selfishness. 🙏🙏🙏
I agree, trying to look more than you are. But also I believe that they more than likely promised they will give a portion. Ecclesiastes 5:4-7
Says that it's better not to make a vow than to break it, and that God doesn't like fools. It also warns against letting your mouth lead you into sin.
Make your yes be yes & no be no.
Well they are lied
Havent heard your answer yet but looking forward to it. My initial thought: Parallel to the sons of Aaron and strange fire, it seems. Things are just getting started and God needs to make a point. Why now? Like Kevin said, Satan had entered the church.
Herod allowing men to praise him as if he was a god – eaten by worms.
Too bad some man made the chapter division right there. Acts 4:32 to 5:11 is clearly meant to be one narative, discribing a certain aspect of church activity and then contrasting particular believers.
I thought it was the same Aninias
there lots of place where God executes judgement immediately – this is not one off
Why do you say it´s so difficult?? I don`t see it difficult at all. It says God killed them and some verses further down it says that the congregation feared greatly (because of it). If it wasn´t for the harsh judgement, then w h y did the congregation feared so greatly? When you twist the Word and then indirectly, tell People they do not understand the Bible by themselves but they need "men of God" like you, then you actually are false teachers! It says we must fill ourselves with the Word. But how dare you if you know you do not seem to understand the simpliest thing, which is to believe it is what it says? This reminds me of the word of faith! The Bible said one thing then they came and "explained" what it really meant, which was the opposit! Always confusing!
Also i donnot understand why you keep on talking about the amount of money!? The Bible says clearly God killed them because they lied to The Holy Spirit! So God didn´t see it as a little lie. Lies come from satan and so do greediness, idols, etc, etc. The Word says: I don´t want you to sit at the same table as the demons…it´s talking about idols and greediness, it´s demonic! That´s why they were judged so harshly, also to make the congregation fear God. It also was the first church and shouldn´t allow any sin to sneak in!
Thank you very much for this video.. Thought provoking and give us something to pray about and meditate about… Blessings to all of you.
At the beginning of creation made an example of Adam and Eve for their rebellion against what God had instructed then not to do. This brought death to all mankind
They were made an example of by God, so other members of the church won't lie and steal from God. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
You are loved!
John 3:14-18,1 Corinthians 15:1-4, Ephesians2:8-9, Romans 10:8-13,
Titus 2:13, 1John 5:5, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18! 1 Peter 3:18! John 14:6
Salvation is God’s Grace alone through Faith alone in Christ Jesus alone!
Our Blessed Hope! Jesus loves you so much, that He died for you so you can spend eternity with Him!
Jesus came, died, was buried and He rose again on the 3rd day proving that He is God and that His blood paid for all sin for all time! You have been Justified! Just-as-if-I’d never sinned! Jesus is the Only Way, the Only Truth and the Only Life, and no one gets to the Father but through Him! Believe and receive Jesus into your heart and you will be Saved! Run to Him! Just as you are! Call on the Lord and you will be Saved!!! The Great Tribulation is fixin start, but those who believe will be Raptured first! Rescued just in time! Times almost up! Don’t be left behind!
Numbers 6:-27 KJV
24 The Lord bless thee, and keep thee:
25 The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
26 The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
27 And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them
Thank y’all, brothers! That was very helpful! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻👑🙏🏻💕🕊🇮🇱🇮🇱🆙🆙🆙
Holiness of the early church: The early church was characterized by a special purity and holiness. God wanted to preserve this purity and send a strong signal that hypocrisy and lies have no place in the church.
Warning to others: The deaths of Ananias and Sapphira served as a warning to the entire church and beyond. Acts 5 :11 states, "And great fear came upon the whole church, and upon all who heard these things."
God's justice: God is just and cannot tolerate sin. Ananias and Sapphira had sinned not only against the church but against God himself (Acts 5: 4).
Role model: The early church was at the beginning of its mission. Such an event showed that God must be taken seriously and that honesty and integrity are central values of the Christian community.
"A LITTLE lie" said SATAN! What was the RESULT? People FEARED GOD! AS THEY SHOULD! Eve believed a lie and caused the CURSE that sent BILLIONS of people to HELL!
This story about Ananias and Sapphira is a good example of the hypocrisy of some jealous church members inside the church. In Christianity, competition is out of the picture to every believer. We are accountable to God concerning how we live! Knowing God is better than knowing the answer… Real service for God needs talking with him and walking with him. Believers should be trustworthy in the eyes of God and every man…
Another question is, why God does not do this today? There are a bunch of people doing this kind of thing but seem to be getting away with it. We all know that they will stand before God and give an account, but for now, they are doing well for themselves.
God picked two violent-past men to lead the Sinai Covenant (Moses) and the New Covenant (Peter). Moses murdered an Egyptian and Peter tried to crack the skull of a temple soldier at Gethsemane but the man moved four inches and only lost an ear for a few minutes. Moses was punished by being a shepherd of another man’s flock for decades. And Peter was punished with humiliation about denying Christ. After interior growth…BOTH MEN were required to verbally assist God in the death penalties of rebellious laity with a difference: Dathan and Abiram and families were horribly swallowed by the earth…..Ananias and Sapphira were decently buried…..
