The Barbaric Execution Of Ananias And Sapphira by Seun(m): 10:11pm On Aug 02, 2016 |
Pastor Adeboye's recent fatwa on "whoever introduces tribalism to RCCG", which is confusing because their list of leaders shows that tribalism has already been introduced to the church, reminded me of my concerns about the morality of the Ananias and Sapphira tale. According to Acts 4:32 - Acts 5:11, "there were no needy persons among [the Christians]. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need." This was obviously not a sustainable way to do things because eventually, all the rich people in the church would have been reduced to poverty. Anyway, "a man named Ananias, with the consent of his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property; with his wife’s knowledge, he kept back some of the proceeds, and brought only a part and laid it at the apostles’ feet" Now there's a lot to like about this couple. First, that they were willing to lose their property to help the needy in the church. Secondly, that they consulted with each other at every step of the way, and acted as one. But this couple retained a sense of financial responsibility, so they decided to be keep some of the proceeds of the sale for themselves, to take care of their kids *, etc. However, God (or someone who knew what happened), told Peter what they had done, and Peter shamed them before the church by revealing their secret. So they cried, repented, were forgiven, and brought the rest of the money to the apostles that evening. Haha. Just kidding. Peter, the guy who denied Jesus three times and was forgiven, had them killed by the power of the Holy Spirit of God, who is love. First he killed Ananias, and somehow nobody told his wife about his death. Then he killed Sapphira for backing up her husband. Imagine the sorrow of the parents who brought up Ananias and Sapphira and instilled in them the values that made them successful enough to own property and pious enough to embrace Christianity. Imagine the inconsolable wailing of their kids * who would now have to rely on the charity of the same church that killed both of their parents, in order to survive. Consider the eternal burning in hell that awaited the couple. How can anyone read this story and not be horrified by it? How can you open your mouth and say "God is love" after reading this chilling tale? * It's reasonable to assume that they had kids unless they were just married or infertile, since there were no contraceptives in those days. 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.” People should not be killed for lying about how much they sold their property. People should not be killed for talking about tribalism.

I have always seriously pondered; while I was still a Bible thumpin Christian; on why the holy Spirit seems to dwell in pastors that do "worldy" acts. I mean, Pastors who curl their hair; divorce their wives and take another. Pastors who abuse the rights of their Church Members and so on.... We are bombarded with cases where pastor rapes a little girl or slept with a church member almost every day and I can almost bet that each of these pastors had the "holy spirit" dwelling in them. Yea, at the church near my house, I hear words like Holy Ghost FIREEEEE!!!! To consume my enemies and such and I think to myself...... Seriously?? If such fire existed, YOU would have been badly burnt because you're your own enemy. However, many think not. Many prefer to think of the spirit as God's Incarnate and can perform a given number of tasks from stopping a bullet to finding a car key 17 Likes 5 Shares |

Seun: How is this Barbaric ![]() Acts 5: 5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things. 6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him. Is it just me or isn't Seun preaching the gospel ? Thanks for reminding us what awaits the wicked /sinners in Hell . The abhorrent consequence of sin is being in Hell Fire forever . 22 Likes 3 Shares |
