Since the character of God was brilliantly defined by
Jesus, we can trust that if God is a murderer (as some claim, when they read of
Ananias and Saphira), then Jesus would have clearly and intentionally revealed
the murderous nature of God.
Curiously, I don't read about Jesus ever murdering
anyone, not a single person. Nor did he teach his followers about when and how
to properly murder sinners in the Father's name. He did not praise a single
murderer or extol a single act of murder.
Therefore I conclusively deduce that God is not a
murderer. (In fact, Jesus revealed that someone *else* has the job description
of "steal, kill & destroy.")
And if God is not a murderer, then he did not, in fact,
murder Ananias and Saphira. If God does not kill, then he did not kill them. If
God *does* kill, then Jesus would have revealed that, since he revealed
God.
If you hold that God killed these two - or any one *else*
- in spite of the clear testimony of Jesus, then either you are confused, or
you are uneducated about the nature and ways of God, or you believe God is an
intentional and malevolent liar.
Hint: there is someone ELSE who is the "father of
lies," and he has a documented history of slandering the good character of
your loving Father. I urge you to reconsider whom you accuse of lying.
QED.
