You said, in post #470:
I will not be discussing anything that the scripture does not say.
You were lying when you said that. Just now, in post #472, you said:
Ananias was speaking to Peter and the other apostles. Therefore when he said.. you have not lied to men he was referring to himself and the other apostles
Scripture does
not say Ananias was speaking to Peter and the other apostles. Why, then, are you discussing your
not-said-by-Scripture belief that Ananias was speaking to Peter and the other apostles? Because of your hypocrisy is why.
To use your own words against you, I say to you, "You seem to have an understanding problem." You obviously cannot understand the difference between what Scripture says and what Scripture does not say:
- Scripture says: "thou hast not lied unto men"
- Scripture does not say: "thou hast lied unto men"
"thou hast not lied unto men" is in direct contradiction to "thou hast lied unto men". Do you want to believe that Ananias lied unto men, even though, very clearly, we read that Ananias had NOT lied unto men, and even though we do not read, in Scripture, that Ananias lied unto men, and even though we do not read, in Scripture, that Ananias lied unto "Peter and the other apostles"? If you think Ananias lied to "Peter and the other apostles", you must think that "Peter and the other apostles" were not men, for, clearly, the Bible says "thou hast NOT lied unto MEN".
So if you want to believe that Peter meant that Ananias was actually speaking with the holy Spirit and God
Since you obviously have a reading problem, I'll point out to you, here, that the Bible doesn't say
"thou hast not ACTUALLY SPOKEN unto men, but unto God."
Rather, the Bible says:
"thou hast not LIED unto men, but unto God."
Do you want to believe that Peter did NOT mean that Ananias LIED unto God?
That is the reason I brought up the particular passage that says if you did it unto them you did it unto me
In other words, you had no reason, whatsoever, to bring up the Matthew 25 passage. You fail, Professor!
Whatever a believer does to another believer it is done as unto Jesus.
Zero relevance to our discussion of the Acts 5 account of Ananias. You fail, Professor.
And whatever the unbeliever does to a believer it is done as unto Jesus.
Zero relevance to our discussion of the Acts 5 account of Ananias. You fail, Professor.
The father has committed all things to Jesus..
Zero relevance to our discussion of the Acts 5 account of Ananias. You fail, Professor.
