I wonder how Seun and his mods will react if a passage from the Holy Koran is twisted as he has done in his OP?
What is good for the goose should also be good for the gander, not so?

The lessons of Ananias and Sapphire are warnings to the Caliphate for Bokoharam, Fulani Herdsmen and the ridiculous lopsided appointments and exploitation of the resources from the ss; warnings to Biafra for political rascalities and warnings to NASS and State Assemblies for being so ignorant to steer properly the Ships of this Nation Nigeria. What happened toAnanias and Sapphire will happen worse to many groups in Nigeria if they don't behave. Nigeria God is a Good God of Covenants that reserves His Time to punish all violators and breachers of the Constitution of Nigeria. The wages of Sin is death and so it was for Ananias and Sapphire. And so it shall be for any Nigerian who is silly, ignorant and selfish. Happy Sunday!!!!

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.



People should not be killed for lying about how much they sold their property. People should not be killed for talking about tribalism. Okay?

Atheists do not have reasons to discuss morality, they have no basis. On Ananias with Sapphira, they were judged by God not man. You do not compare God to man because He is Judge Supreme and Owner of every soul. Just like your opinions and other individual opinions have no weight compared to Supreme court order. Even more.
Ananias and his wife were dishonest people, they were boldfaced liars. That is a very bad thing for anybody. Even in world politics, people lose respect for being dishonest or for telling lies. This is clear in political campaigns the world over, where opponents try to expose dishonesty. For some atheist to now come and say that there are many things to like in dishonest people, well, simply shows he has no moral base. Fraudulent and corrupt people like Ananias and his wife should not be encouraged. It is clear to see that they wanted the reward and recognition that Barnabas got for selling his land, but they were not willing to go all the way like he did. That's cheating, that's dubious.
Act 4:36 And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,
Act 4:37 Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet.

Seun made many clumsy assumptions but forgot to assume that it is every day for the thief and one day for the owner. He forgets to assume that Ananias and his wife may have been getting away with sin for a long time(several times). He assumes their past of having children but conveniently thinks they have being angels all the way. He downgrades exposure of duplicity as shaming them. So, you think scamming should not be exposed or what? Why do you ban anybody on NL? Don't you think they have family too? People should not be punished because they have family? What sort of reasoning is that? Imagine the sorrow and the inconsolable wailing? i guess Oscar Pistorious and other criminals should have a medal instead. Let's just avoid sorrow and wailing, don't you think? Let's not ban anybody again or hurt any tender feeling.

You are not making any sense . If God were not a loving a God , no atheist or sinner would be alive . For over 25 years or so you've been an atheist , you are simply wasting the opportunities God gave you to repent or turn to Him . The impious attacks , the mockery and you aint dead yet and you don't consider it as a sign of Love ? Your type should not complain when you burn in Hell smiley

You probably dont get the arguement, the judgement/repercussion for his "mere" lie is barbaric compared to other sins that were ignored by god in the bible.
Abi o! David killed a man n took his wife yet Jehovah spared him. Very partial, Xtians will say its favor. My conclusion; its either god n Satan are 1 n same being or d bible is a fantastic fiction.

Mr. Seun you got it all wrong. Annaias and Sapphira conspired against the Holy Ghost by trying to hide a certain part. They presented the half as a whole which led to their death. It wasn't barbaric at all. He could have told Peter we can only afford to pay half but he lied. Mr Seun you can't blasphemy the Holy Spirit. Anyway continue the good job of fulfilling the prophecy. But I pray that God will visit you soon.
Xtians can defend anything in d bible, no matter how absurd n barbaric, used to b like dat myself tho, but now I no better. If u can defend/support d genocides commited by d Israelites in d bible, y do u still condemn BH & Isis?

what is that better you know? Let us clarify an issue here. The battles that led to the genocide in the old testament era wasn't religious but conquest. The canaanites had committed a lot of atrocities so the Israelites were God's weapon then. Now God has created a more suitable way to salvation, this time for everyone - Jesus.

Its a tough Job defending biblical inconsistencies and obscenities, i sometimes pity the hard workers.

Twalle for them ni oo
What is inconsistent and obscened about that? The wages of sin is death.
Listen, the case of Ananiahs and Saphira is the same case with folk who sin against the Holy Spirit. There's no forgiveness and Mercy for anyone who sins against the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit experimented with those two. Think seriously about the Sins you have committed against the Holy Spirit here thinking nothing will happen. I just laf at you.

You will die, not a physical death, but spiritual. Then you'd remember, Analice warned me. Make fun of it, but you'll find it true very soon.

How is this Barbaric God took their lives instantly

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 .

they weren't killed because they are nice people. They were killed because they lied which is against the commandments of the sects they agreed and conformed with. And so many people are being killed and will still be killed for that same reason. Haven't you heard "all liars will have their part in the lake of fire." they are not just going to be killed they will also burn in Hell. It's the Christian commandment,. So if you are Christian and you are lying and you keep lying, one day you will be crushed, you will be knocked and die and you will find yourself in Hell fire.
SO, REPENT.

I think if this guy needs an answer to his question, he should wacth the film God's not dead, but Seun, you are full of potentials o, even if you claim to be an atheist, learn not to run your mouth against God, it really dangerous, I mean if you read the bible and not just check for what you wanna criticize and castigate in it, you will know that the same one who is capable of turning the furnace to a room with Ac is the same one dat sent fire from heaven to consume dose prophet of Baal, and if you read that part well, Peter did not ask the holy spirit to strike Ananias, he asked him if he was speaking the truth but he chose to lie, see there was no instruction dat dey are to bring all, so what they were doing was dat they were trying to play smart and fool God and dere punishment was instant, well the message of the cross to them that perish is foolishness. One more thing before I go, GOD'S NOT DEAD

ACTUALLY, I READ IT FOR YEARS, AND WAS NOT MOVED: "THEY HAD IT COMING!"

Then, SUDDENLY- like waking up out of a DAYDREAM- it became OBVIOUS to me- I could not imagine people NOT seeing that this was WRONG on EVERY level!

People should not be killed for lying about how much they sold their property. People should not be killed for talking about tribalism. Okay?

. LUKE 9:51-56.

51. And it came to pass,
when the time was come
that he should be received up,
he stedfastly set his face
to go to Jerusalem,
52. And sent messengers before his face:
and they went,
and entered into a village of the Samaritans,
to make ready for him.
53. And they did not receive him,
because his face was as though
he would go to Jerusalem.
54. And when his Disciples James and John saw this, they said,
"Lord, wilt thou that we command Fire to come down from Heaven,
and consume them, even as Elias did?"
55. But he turned, and rebuked them, and said,
"Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
56. "For the Son of Man is not come to destroy men's lives,
but to save them."
And they went to another village.


IT IS NOT THAT PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE KILLED FOR RENEGING ON A VOW- THEY SHOULD NOT BE KILLED AT ALL!

It is NOT our job!

People are like:

"YEAH- BUT LOOK WHAT THEY DID TO US-!"

Not the POINT!

. MATTHEW 18:21-35.

21. Then came Peter to him, and said,
"Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me,
and I forgive him? till seven times?"
22. Jesus saith unto him,
"I say not unto thee,


'UNTIL SEVEN TIMES:'
BUT, 'UNTIL SEVENTY TIMES SEVEN.'


23. "Therefore is The Kingdom of Heaven likened
unto a certain king,
which would take account of his servants.
24. "And when he had begun to reckon,
one was brought unto him,
which owed him ten thousand talents.
25. "But forasmuch as he had not to pay,
his lord commanded him to be sold,
and his wife, and children,
and all that he had,
and payment to be made.
26. "The servant therefore fell down,
and worshipped him, saying,


'LORD, HAVE PATIENCE WITH ME,
AND I WILL PAY THEE ALL.'


27. "Then the lord of that servant
was moved with compassion,
and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
28. "But the same servant went out,
and found one of his fellowservants,
which owed him an hundred pence:
and he laid hands on him,
and took him by the throat, saying,


'PAY ME THAT THOU OWEST.'

29. "And his fellowservant fell down at his feet,
and besought him, saying,


'HAVE PATIENCE WITH ME,
AND I WILL PAY THEE ALL.'


30. "And he would not:
but went and cast him into prison,
till he should pay the debt.
31. "So when his fellowservants
saw what was done,
they were very sorry,
and came and told unto their lord
all that was done.
32. "Then his lord,
after that he had called him,
said unto him,


'O THOU WICKED SERVANT,
I FORGAVE THEE ALL THAT DEBT,
BECAUSE THOU DESIREDST ME:
33. 'SHOULDEST NOT THOU ALSO
HAVE HAD COMPASSION
ON THY FELLOWSERVANT,
EVEN AS I HAD PITY ON THEE?'


34. "And his lord was wroth,
and delivered him to the Tormentors,
till he should pay all
that was due unto him.
35. "So likewise shall my Heavenly Father
do also unto you,
if ye from your hearts
forgive not every one
his brother their trespasses."


YAHSHUA'S DISCIPLES NEVER CONVERTED, AT ALL.

They NEVER understood, received, nor believed The Gospel Yahshua Preached at all!

. LUKE 14:7-11.

7. And he put forth a Parable
to those which were bidden,
when he marked how
they chose out
the Chief Rooms;
saying unto them.
8. "When thou art bidden
of any man to a wedding,
sit not down in The Highest Room;
lest a more honourable man
than thou be bidden of him;
9. "And he that bade
thee and him come
and say to thee,


'GIVE THIS MAN PLACE;'

and thou begin with shame
to take The Lowest Room.
10. "But when thou art bidden,
go and sit down in The Lowest Room;
that when he that bade thee cometh,
he may say unto thee,


'FRIEND, GO UP HIGHER:'

then shalt thou have worship
in the presence of them
that sit at meat with thee.
11. "For whosoever exalteth himself
shall be abased;
and he that humbleth himself
shall be exalted."


THEY THOUGHT THAT THEY HAD ATTAINED SUCH A LEVEL THAT THEY HAD THE RIGHT TO SENTENCE FELLOW BRETHREN, WHO ONLY FELL UNDER THEIR POWER BECAUSE OF YAHSHUA, TO DEATH.

As a result, THEY WERE CAST INTO PRISON, themselves!

. ACTS 7:55-8:4.

55. But he, being full of the Holy Ghost,
looked up stedfastly into Heaven,
and saw The Glory of God,
and Jesus standing on the Right Hand of God,
56. And said,
"Behold, I see the Heavens opened,
and the Son of Man standing on the Right Hand of God."
57. Then they cried out with a loud voice,
and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,
58. And cast him out of the city, and stoned him:
and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet,
whose name was Saul.
59. And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying,
"Lord Jesus, receive my spirit."
60. And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice,
"Lord, lay not this sin to their charge."
And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
AND Saul was consenting unto his death.
And at that time there was a Great Persecution
against the church which was at Jerusalem;
and they were all scattered abroad throughout
the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the Apostles.
2. And devout men carried Stephen to his burial,
and made great lamentation over him.
3. As for Saul, he made havock of The Church,
entering into every house,
and haling men and women committed them to prison.
4. Therefore they that were scattered abroad
went every where preaching The Word.


HOW DO I KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT THE BIBLE?

Apart from that I have been a Born Again Full-Gospel Pentecostal Christian for more than 35 years, now...?

I learned early on from the greatest Full Gospel Christians of the early 1980s- namely, KENNETH ERWIN HAGIN, and KENNETH COPELAND.

From Kenneth E. Hagin, I LEARNED ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF PRAYING IN TONGUES.

He said that after Praying in Tongues for a prolonged period of time, he suddenly entered into a State of Enhanced Awareness, in which what he formerly considered his superior Enlightenment looked to him like childish nonsense by comparision.

[See: GROWING UP SPIRITUALLY, by Kenneth E. Hagin.]

Kenneth Copland gave a Testimony that showed that "Praying in Tongues," for prolonged periods of time, has a profound effect- even when you cannot feel it! He Prayed in Tongues for an extended period of time, and THE DEVIL told him: "You FOOL! you could have used that time to do something constructive!" Kenneth Copeland was like: "Oh yeah? Wasted my time, YOU say? Okay- I will DOUBLE the time!" he doubled it. The Devil was like: "Eh-hen. Now you REALLY wasted your time!" Kenneth Copeland was like: "Oliver Twist asks for more-!"

Later, he was like: "How now, Satan?"
The Devil was like: "Bleep you."

He felt ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENT AT ALL.

He went to a Prayer Meeting- clearly this was in those days
when he was merely "Kenneth Copeland," and not [size=32pt]"KENNETH COPELANDDD!!!"[/size]

There was this old lady(?) who needed to be prayed for for something, and the brother leading the service said,

"Brother Copeland- would you please lay hands on Sister (X)?"

Kenneth Copeland (still feeling no different), was like: "All right...."

Sister was Spiritually "ELECTROCUTED!"

THEREFORE, I ELECTED TO PRAY IN TINGUES FOR ONE HOUR EACH DAY- NO MATTER WHAT WAS GOING ON IN MY LIFE- I MUST GET IN THAT ONE HOUR OF PRAYING THINGS I HAD NO IDEA WHAT I WAS SAYING.

This went on for MONTHS.

I did gain some insights.

Then I applied THIS TESTIMONY.

Oral Roberts once prayed to know: "How can I know Jesus?"
He was answered: "READ MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, JOHN, and The Book of ACTS-
THREE TIMES IN THIRTY DAYS!"

He did it on his knees.
At the end of the thirty days, he testified that he now
knew Jesus "better than he knew any man on the Face of The Earth!"

-Kenneth Copeland.

I began Fasting one-to-two days at a time, and SUDDENLY, I Experienced- TOTAL RECALL OF THE ENTIRE BIBLE.

I remembered parts of The bible I did not even remember reading- except that I had, I used Jack T. Chick's Bible Study method that requires one to SHADE the Bible with coloured pencils.

After that, if I THOUGHT, or HEARD any topic, I would "HEAR" a list of Scriptures supporting or refuting that statement.

I could not enjoy anyone's preaching any more, because I would immediately hear a "readout" of all the errors that were fielded.

Nobody wanted to hear ME preach the CORRECT Gospel.

Presently, I left Organized Christianity.

It was not some nine years later, that I heard a lecture by LAFAYETTE RONALD HUBBARD- the founder of SCIENTOLOGY (one of his breakaway pupils founded ECKANKAR- using a ripoff of his Teachings, and adding some unnecessary Eastern garbage,) in which he mentioned the Hindu VEDAS.

He said that for every one truth in The Vedas, there were TWELVE LIES. He gave the example of a BREATHING EXERCISE, which, if you do it, you CANNOT "ASTRAL-TRAVEL!"

There were step-by-step processes, which had STEPS REMOVED, or REVERSED- so that, if you did them THAT way presented, you would be TOTALLY MESSED UP.

Therefore, he said, one would not be able to use the Teachings, unless he were coached by an authentic "Master."

[See: THE PERCEPTION OF TRUTH LECTURES, by L. Ron Hubbard.]

i was stunned by this thought: ONE Truth... TWELVE Lies. One Truth, TWELVE LIES.

JESUS AND THE TWELVE DISCIPLES.

JESUS, The Truth- the "APOSTLES," the LIES!

It never occurred to ME that THE APOSTLES WERE LYING- and that was why their Teachings were IMPOSSIBLE to RECONCILE with YAHSHUA'S Teachings. They were not supposed to be reconcilable!
