1..The thing is, it is very unlikely that an so called Holy spirit killed them ... hence, peter or some of his comrades did the killing. there cannot be dead bodies laying at the feet of peter and you'd tell me the Holy spirit killed them. Abi is the holy spirit now a JUJU practitioner

kkins25:
Because it wasn't mentioned doesn't mean they didn't do it. The victors write history after all. Do you read in any American history books that America eliminated the native Americans prior to the awakening era?

MindHacker9009:
1. Also when Rome destroyed Jerusalem and the temple in 70 AD Peter, the apostles and the Holy Spirit could not use the power of the Holy spirit to save their land and temple.

The destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in 70 CE was the End-Time

Kobojunkie:

1. Why is it unlikely that the "so called" holy spirit killed them?

2. What was the motive behind the killings, if we are to assume that Peter and his comrades did the killing? What did they gain from the act?

3. And what did the author of the book gain from including such a story his record of the acts of the Apostles?

Peter was not described as a man who engaged in the diabolic and so suggesting he must have used JUJU of some sort would require some proving as well, right ?

kkins25:
1. The very reason why you and I know Zeus didn't lock any Titans at Tartarus even though it is written so.

2. If me and you do contribution, let's say we each contribute $10,000 at the end of each month. At the end of month 1, You gave me your 10k as per our agreement with the hopes that at the end of the second month, I'd do the same. When the end of the second month comes and i japa with my money, wouldn't you be vexed? We've seen the destructive power of Christians right from the era of Constantine. Peter, who was quick to pull the sword in John 18: 10 says a lot about his character doesn't it?

3. That indeed the Holy Spirit is alive and powerful. He might kill you if you don't lay down that 10%. kikiki

4. Explain to me then how a man and his wife suddenly drop dead. Heart attack? Stroke?

Lol.. it is your inability to clearly define formulated principles, language and intent of the writer that is confusing you.. that's why I do advise my friend max to go back to his native language because he seems confused too

I'll break it down...

Acts 5
• But Peter says “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the holy spirit:
The writer also reiterated ..."you have lied to god..." meaning holy spirit = god

The writer only portrayed two principles; Satan & holy spirit/god which are seen in opposition

• "...You have not lied to men but to God.” :
meaning, vengeance would come from biblical god not man

Then Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and breathed his last:

....He was killed by god as intended by the writer

This life eh. See wetin dey occupy this one mind.

1. It wasn't the Holy Spirit that killed them, I would like you to click the Link below the Post, to have the full knowledge of what the writer was communicating.

2. The motive for the Story is to show the Growing of the Early Church, how after being saved, still Mixing Law and Grace as a means of Teaching People.

3. The Letter was the Law, Peter preached the Law of condemnation which result into Condemnation, Accusation, and ultimately death.
The Woman that was caught in Fornication act, Jesus didn't condemn her, but speak the word of Grace to Her. The Audiences (The Law) wanted to Kill her, if not for Jesus(Grace) that delivered her from them.

Truvelisback:
Peter's word attracted the anger of The HolySpirit on them. They wouldn't have died if Peter had ignored their errors and refrain from making his statement.

Jamestaiwo:
It wasn't the anger of Holy Spirit, it was the Accusation and condemnation that came out of Peter that killed them

MindHacker9009:
Jesus ask Christians to flee to the mountains. So where did they flee to?
May you have SENSE

Peter didn't use Juju, but their is something that condemn, accuse and kill that is the Law.
2 Corinthians 3:6-7
[6]Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
[7]But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:

The Letter was the Law, Peter preached the Law of condemnation which result into Condemnation, Accusation, and ultimately death.

Lol... There is nothing like law about what Peter said... Some characters in the OT lied to seek favor or escape danger, and it wasn't counted against them. It is not same as bearing false witness against a neighbor.

The whole event was just to suggest that Satan and god are in opposition(which is not literally correct), hence there must be consequences for going against the god principle.

Your write-up looks vague anyway...who killed them? Letter? Lol

MindHacker9009:
Jerusalem at that time was in the province of Judea. Jesus told them to flee to the mountains. So did they flee to the mountains or not?

Kobojunkie:
1. I don't follow.

2. Motive is growth of what church?

Mixing Law and grace? Do you even begin to understand what the law is at that point and what grace refers to based on the law?

This is why I so much hate soundbite Christianity.... spewing a lot of meaningless gobbledegook all over the place as if by doing so they accomplish much.

3. what the hell has any of this nonsense to do with the story of Ananias and Saphira abeg?

MaxInDHouse:

The encamped armies surrounded JERUSALEM so other places outside the city is safe!

Jamestaiwo:


Letter in the sense of Accusation and condemnation.

MaxInDHouse:
YES! And currently in Lagos, Nigeria!

MindHacker9009:
But Jesus told them where to flee to, which was to the mountains. So did they flee to the mountains or not?

SeniorMan715:
What does Jehovah's Witnesses believe ?

MindHacker9009:
Jesus told them to flee to the mountains simple instruction so why do you disagree with Jesus.

MaxInDHouse:


Jesus is our saviour so when he talks it has to do with SAVING lives that's what you failed to grasp here!

Lasgidi90:
Why all these grammar. God's holy spirit killed them. Is that what most of you guys are afraid to say?

MindHacker9009:
May you have SENSE to stop changing what Jesus said
