    Lying and Dying (Acts 5:1-11)
    Nov 14 2024
    In this episode of Tough Texts, Scott Keith and Daniel Emery Price discuss the story of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts chapter 5. They provide the context of the early church and the Council of Jerusalem, highlighting the opposition the believers faced from both Jewish and Roman authorities. They explain that the sin in this narrative is not the withholding of money, but the lying and deception. They discuss the significance of lying to the apostles, who represent God, and the fear that came upon the church as a result. They emphasize that this passage is a law passage and does not contain the gospel.
