Where will Ananias and Sapphira spend eternity?

Post by Justaned »

In Acts 5 we find the story of the Ananias and Sapphira. They sold their property and pretended to give all the proceeds to church. Insted they held back some. Which in effect made them liars.
The both were struck dead and carried out the church.

Where do you think they will spend eternity? Why?

They deliberately planned this and lied to the Holy Spirit. For this they lost their physical lives. Its not anyones business where God sent them after death. Thats between them and God.


Galatians 4: 16, Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

What don't you like about this question? If you don't know the answer that is okay I really didn't expect you to. I see no reason to get all huffy about it.

According to Revlation chapters 21-22; they are outside the kingdom of God.

Hell is the answer

If you die in sin you go to hell. Revelation 21:8 liars go to hell. It is our business where they went. That's the problem with Pentecostals today they warn people if you live in sin you go to hell. Red 1Cor. chapter 5 .

I'm not huffy about anything? They lied to the Holy Spirit, thats sin and they died in their sin and they would be in Hell, but truly, who but they themselves and God would care where they are?

I think some of you may be missing my question. Anania and Sapphira lied that is fact. The died that also is fact.

While they died physically did they also died spiritually or did the Holy Spirit take their mortal life before they could lose their spiritual life.

Someone said they were liars and scripture says there will be no liars in Heaven.

Okay a little old lady walks into the church with a hideous hat, someone tells her how nice she looks today. They lied. At that moment they die of a heart attack, stray bullet, church falling down you name it but they die at that moment. Are they prevented from goign to heaven? They lied they are liars.

What about the guy that runs the red light, he lied saying he had the right away. A car from cross steed that has the green light hits him and kills him.
He lied does that prevent him from going to heaven? He lied in the fact he went through the red light.

I don't think in either of these cases salvation is lost.

And with that in mind I wonder why God took such drastic action with Ananias and Sapphira.

Was it to teach the early church a lesson?

Was it to prevent Ananias and Sapphira from losing their salvation. Much like Paul was doing when he said he turned Hymenaeus and Alexander over to Satan so that they would learn?

THIS ILLUSTRATES the absolute absurdity of man trying to play GOD.

GOD IS JUDGE ,JURY AND EXECUTIONER.

IVE HEARD PREACHERS PONTIFICATE HE OR SHE IS IN HELL haw haw haw haw haw.

ITS BEST TO LEAVE THAT TO GOD.

I vote "Hell".

Would love to be wrong about that but all of the Biblical evidence seems to support the fact that they went to hell.

THough I am sure that Anannias and Sapphira were OSAS :mrgreen:
