Why did God kill Ananias and Sapphira for lying? | GotQuestions.org 

I'm a deacon in our church, and it is my responsibility to count the offering with the other deacons every week. I am often reminded by the sins of Achan and that of Ananias and Sapphira, whenever I find myself alone with the offering plate. I'm sure that I'm not alone. God's strict discipline on them has given me resolve to know that I am accountable and, thank God, I have never strayed in that area.

Ultimately God can do whatever He wants, who are we to even question Him? ❤

Please Pray for me, i need the intercession of Gods Children

God created life. Nobody dies they relocate. God has the right to move people from one phase of existence to another as He sees fit. Thanks for the video.

Hypocrisy is a very real problem in the church today. The spirit of religiousness needs to be outed as well.

Today I again committed a sin that I'm currently struggling with. I apologised to God and asked for forgiveness (I did that so many times and I still don't walk in obedience and discipline regarding this issue :(( ). At one moment during the day I remembered that story of Ananias and his wife and I knew that God was turning my attention to understand that He is not to be joked and fooled around... He can literally take the life for sin. He wants real devotion and 100% purity of heart from the saints. I'm still a new believer and still trying to figure out this thing about "once saved always saved" ... What a narrow road in deed this is...

Always scripture based and excellent!

It wasn’t just the lie that cost them their lives. It was the hypocrisy.

Sometimes hard to decipher passages from holy scripture like this need to be left alone. It’s okay for us to say I don’t understand this. I’m okay with not completely understanding.

Their deaths remind me of how Uzzah was stuck dead for touching the Ark of the Covenant. The Lord sending a strong message about His protocols. I believe they were killed, taken to heaven, and had MANY shameful tears wiped away by the Lord.

Very sad truth I want to share here is that in my place Tamil Nadu in India most of the pastors scare the belivers by quoting this story of Ananiya and Sapphira to loot money....telling if you don't give your offerings God will punish you.

From what i understand, God was laying the foundation for the church which can only be laid once and he displays his righteousness through Ananias and Sapphira. I believe they blasphemed against the holy spirit by lying and thats why the judgement was severe.

It's a very sobering story, and not easily understood, but important to ponder. I mean, David is in heaven in spite of his fall, and Annanias and Saphira can be in heaven, God is still more merciful than we can understand, even if his judgements here on earth are harsh. We will find out eventually. Some are taken from this life yet still with God, we must trust him. Moses didn't see the promised land yet he is with God. This happened after Jesus's death and resurrection, and that's the really thought provoking dimension here!

Thank you, Pastor Jack. This is how I feel, but I wasn't sure if that was a good thing. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

thank you for your words.

What if both Ananias and Sapphira had admitted that they held back part of the proceeds and asked for forgiveness, would Heavenly Father have shown mercy and not killed them?

That was good!

Could you imagine if this still happened instantaneously today, the *church* would be better servers.

Thank for you all your works 🙏🏽

Amen! It Is Written! KJV - Romans 9 : 20 “Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?”

They lied ! They did not have to , the truth sets us free . So many lie and say God is good , they mock him , because he is good he will over look their wrong doing , that no fear of the Lord .

I'm very politically incorrect. I remember the first time reading this and my first thought was, of all the people to call you out, it was Peter. Peter was like, "Nah man."

I agree with the interpretation and I have always believed both Ananias and Saphira were real believers. Can true born born-again believers in Christ commit this type of sin? Absolutely they can. In fact a believer can commit virtually any sin that an unbeliever can commit if they yield to their old carnal nature or to Satanic temptations. Satan has it out for you and he wants to destroy your life. He walks about as a "roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." Satan no doubt tempted them to do this and they yielded to it leading to their deaths. I also agree that this is a Biblical case of what First John calls the "sin unto death". I believe this kind of sin is especially committed against God Himself. They "had not lied unto men, but unto God." I believe a lot more people who were true believers are dead right now because of such sins. The Corinthian believers committed this sin with the Lord's supper and many of them were killed by God for it while others became very sick.

This is a true example how you can be in Gods Grace and fall from it💔 don’t get to comfortable with the Lord to the point where to start to think you can fill the Lord our God. If you are a true believer, everyday walk in faith and by good deeds. For anyone who sins after knowing what sin is, there is no longer a sacrifice for their sins Hebrew chapter 10 v 26

Hello, the Book of Acts referred to the Acts of the Holy Spirits, not the acts of the believers sirs

This was a sin against the Holy Spirit(v3). Jesus gets very specific about sin and blasphemy against the Holy Spirit( Matthew 12:31-32, Mark 3:28-29). One cannot lie to the Holy Spirit if one doesn’t possess the Holy Spirit. Ananias and Sapphira certainly were converted children of God. It’s a tremendous stretch to try and apply Ananias and Sapphira’s death as “chastening” or “disciplining”. These words mean to train, educate, correct or punish for the purpose of correction. The point of Hebrews 12:5-11 is to help a Christian to repent and turn from error. That can hardly be accomplished from the grave(Ecclesiastes 9:5,10). This event seems more like judgment and sentencing than correction. Only God knows their fate but I wouldn’t count on seeing them in the 1st resurrection.

Actually, if you read the verse it doesn’t act say “God killed” them

Sadly some believers are still lying today, deceiving, twisting their words and greiving the Holy Ghost almost everyday unless the Truth shall set you free. One of our member was stealing the tithes and offerings until it caught up on him and GOD exposed him. He is still alive today and no longer a memer; he is my nephew 😅 GOD wants to bless us and if we repent and have a genuine relationship with the Lord Jesus we can remain in his divine protection but if there is no true conversation then we remain in the curse; sin, and a child of the devil. The Bible says in 1 John 3:10 we were already children of the devil. " In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother" GOD is good and I believe that with all my heart, and all my strength. This is bassed on revelation and a personal trial i went through. One thing for certain GOD can not be fooled. Look what happen when sinners use GOD'S name in vain; freak accidents has happened. The spirit realm is no joke. You need The blood of Jesus.

👍👍👍

If Ananias told the Apostles that he was keeping some of the funds, or asked the Apostles if he could keep some of the funds? .......................

You must understand that they did not simply lie, but committed a fraud. The fact that they set aside money secretly probably means they vowed to give the entire sum of money, but didn't. Even Sapphira lied that it was the whole amount which they got which obviously wasn't. They stole what was supposed to be given to God

A. To keep Solomon's Porch clear of throngs of people.

People who know better will be punished more.

Ananias and Sapphira made a pretense of giving the whole amount; however they “secretly held back some of the price.” (Acts 5:2) God struck this couple dead, not because the amount they gave was insufficient, but because their MOTIVE for giving was wicked and they were deceptive. They “lied, not to men, but to God.” (Acts 5:4) Like the hypocrites whom Jesus condemned, Ananias and Sapphira were more concerned with seeking glory from men than the approval of God.

If you actually read the scripture, it never says God killed them ! Just says they fell down dead we cant presume Or add what we think.

How would that be "Discipline'? So as discipline, they were taken out of this world of evil and persecution and taken immediately to heaven to rejoice and enjoy? Wouldn't they be going to a better place without any suffering?

they blasphemed and its some kind of protection gift for prophets so when they lied to Peter they died. like when they try to hurt Elijah 100 soldiers dropped dead. and when they kick out the two witnesses people get similar swift judgement, i know Peter, Elijah and the two witnesses are horrified by it. but they cant change it. an angel has orders.

Why do people worship on Sunday when God hates sun worship Ezek. 8:15-16

I’d say because sin cannot dwell in the Kingdom, when someone sins they are judged by the judges of the 12 tribes of Israel

Saphirah obeyed her husband and God killed her for going along with her husband. If she had obeyed God and influenced her husband not to do it, perhaps they both would have been spared.

The central proposition in this video's explanation is essentially that sin itself does not destroy the sinner and therefore someone/something else (eg God) needs to do that. That presupposes that sin is actually a viable state of living. However, although very commonly held amongst Christianity, such a proposition is at odds with many key aspects of biblically-revealed/affirmed reality. For example, note carefully Galatians 6:7-8 which states explicitly that those who sow the flesh reap destruction from the flesh - not from The Spirit. And this is the basis on which God is not mocked - or in other words that God is vindicated. God is vindicated because, contrary to Satan's age-old insinuation, God is not in fact the source of death. Rather, sin itself by its very nature as anomia/lawlessness (1 John 3:4) functionally can produce nothing but death - which is why the results of sin are most typically referred to as "perishing". Hence God is exclusively constantly trying to save us from the otherwise inevitability of death - precisely as John 3:16 and 2 Peter 3:9 affirm. And hence God truly is light in whom there is no darkness (1 John 1:5). Death is exclusively the fruit of darkness - just as life is exclusively the fruit of life (John 1:4). I invite you to consider and study into this carefully for yourself...

God hates a liar.

Not only did they lie but pride motivated them they thought they could snooker everyone. The question is can an unrepentant person enter heaven.

Im pretty sure they where unsaved... me being born again and rather advanced in the faith, prayed few nights ago about wanting to die... i got answer to that prayer and it was scary.... but im still alive.. will it cause me to die down the line 🤷🏻‍♂️ i hope not...

The narrator answered his own question of why God put to death Ananias and Sapphira - for lying, as Peter told Ananias: "An·a·niʹas, why has Satan emboldened you to lie to the holy spirit and secretly hold back some of the price of the field ? As long as it remained with you, did it not remain yours ?" "And after it was sold, was it not in your control (or the full amount remained in Ananias' possession to give out as he wished) ? Why have you thought up such a deed as this in your heart (to deceive the apostles, saying that X amount was the full price received from the sale of the property when it was Y amount, and be like God's archenemy, Satan, to tell lies whom Jesus called "the father of the lie", John 8:44) ? You have lied, not to men, but to God.” With start of the pouring out of holy spirit on the day of Pentecost, 33 C.E. on "the about 120 disciples" (Acts 1:15), these became "chosen ones" (Matt 24:22, 24, 31), in which Ananias and Sapphira were also "chosen ones" for God's heavenly Kingdom, that set them apart from everyone else as "special", and in which at Exodus 19:5, when God, whose name is Jehovah (see Isa 12:2; 26:4, KJV) had chosen the Israelites as his people, they became his "special property out of all the peoples". However, due to apostasy, they were discarded and replaced with a new nation called "the Israel of God" of which Ananias and Sapphira were selected members (Gal 6:16), for Jesus told the Pharisees who were the chief leaders of fleshly Israel: "Did you never read in the Scriptures (at Ps 118:22, 23), ‘The stone (Jesus Christ) that the builders (the Jewish religious leaders) rejected, this has become the chief cornerstone (of a heavenly government)." "This has come from Jehovah, and it is marvelous in our eyes’? This is why I say to you, the Kingdom of God will be TAKEN FROM YOU and be given to a (new) nation producing its fruits (of holy conduct, see Lev 19:2; 1 Pet 1:15, 16). Also, the person falling on (or attacking) this stone will be shattered. As for anyone on whom it falls (or attacks), it will crush him.”(Matt 21:42-44) Ananias and Sapphira were part of the new nation of spiritual "Israel" (see Rom 9:6-8), a composite body of people made up of both Jews and Gentiles (Rom 11:11, 12), that replaced the apostate nation of fleshly Israel, who were notorious liars, deceivers and murderers.(see Matt 23:33-39) Hence, Ananias and Sapphira were "sealed with holy spirit" (Eph 1:13, 14) and were to carefully follow "the law of the Christ" (Gal 6:2), in which Jesus left "a model for you to follow his steps closely. He committed no sin, nor was deception found in his mouth".(1 Pet 2:21, 22) At Revelation 14, of those sealed with holy spirit for "the heavenly calling" (Heb 3:1), it says that "these are the ones who did not defile themselves with (symbolic) women (or false religious organizations, see Rev 17:5, in which Babylon the Great, the world empire of false religion, is called "the mother of the prostitutes" or has its "daughters" that keeps the lies going) in fact, they are virgins." "These are the ones who keep following the Lamb no matter where he goes. These were bought from among mankind as firstfruits to God and to the Lamb, and no deceit was found in their mouths; they are without blemish."(Rev 14:4, 5) So, Ananias and Sapphira received "justice" of everlasting death for lying to the apostles and especially to Jehovah God, for Revelation 21:8 states: "But as for the cowards and those without faith and those who are disgusting in their filth and murderers and the sexually immoral and those practicing spiritism and idolaters and all the LIARS, their portion will be in the (symbolic) lake that burns with fire and sulfur (or everlasting destruction). This means the second death.”

Liars are even worse than worthless. It's not bad they didn't live longer to do more damages .

If they were truthful about wanting to keep a partial of the proceeds, with a clean heart, then it would not have been an issue. “Let your yes be yes and your no be no”. We should never make promises. As humans, we are weak in keeping those promises.

Did God kill the young people that made fun of the prophet Elisha for being bald with bears? Did God fill James and John with wrath toward the samaritans to call down fire? Or was that their own call?…. Did God cause there to be a drought when Elijah prayed for it to stop raining? I wonder what would happen if God put the power of Life and Death in our tongue?

At the first sign of the rise of Agrippa as king, Simon Magus/Zelotes was deposed as Pope. His fall is recorded in the story of Ananias & Sapphira. (Ananias was Simon Zelotes, & Sapphira was his mistress Helena Salome). They were both rebuked by Peter for financial wrongdoing, & immediately 'fell down dead'. They were excommunicated (spiritual death, not literal death). Excommunication was the usual fate of a fallen Pope & his associate.

I will see Ananais and Sapphira in Heaven.

They lied against the Holy Spirit. Husband came in and said this is all the money but, saved some for himself with his wife. He died on the spot. As he was being carried out, wife walks in not knowing what happened and did the same thing. You don’t ever sin against the Holy Spirit.

God wanted to set an example of the consequences of lying to a prophet.

I read somewhere Ananias and Sapphira are killed are because 1) They didnt really follow Jesus, they join the church because they saw the miracles of the apostles and they desire those powers for themselves 2) God can see the future and our heart and most probably, Ananias and Sapphira will not accept Jesus even in the future.

Did they lose their salvation or were they not saved at all - me thinks a clue may be in Hebrews 10:19-30 - but I’m not sure

I've wondered about this. I would think many believers lied and sinned. Why didn't they all die? Why don't WE all die?

By conspiring against the Holy Spirit, and lying to the Holy Spirit, their punishment was grave, and just.

Except at no point in the Acts narrative does it say that God killed this couple. That is an assumption incorrectly made and which flies in the face of the fact that ALL sin was dealt with just weeks earlier at the cross (Rom 6:10 / 1 Peter 3:18 / 2 Cor 5:14,15) including Ananias' and Sapphira's sin. Following this video's logic, how did Peter himself escape capital 'discipline' when he disassociated himself from the inclusivity of the gospel and 'stood condemned' (Gal 2:11)? Or How did Saul ever live long enough to get to be Saul when he openly claimed to be 'the worst of sinners' (1 Timothy 1:16)? The central crux of the issue here is this: how much sin did Jesus deal with at the cross? All? Or only some? If all, then Ananias and Sapphira did not have their sin held against them (Heb 8:12 / 10:17). If only some, then we have an inadequate sacrifice in Jesus. No, God did not kill Ananias or Sapphira.

Monday read genesis chapter 1, Tuesday read Psalms chapter 1, Wednesday read John chapter 1, Thursday read genesis chapter 2, Friday read Psalms chapter 2, weekend off. Monday read John chapter 2 so on. Read one chapter a day. Have a clean bible no markings or past thoughts on a topic. Write down what you read in your own words and language. Talk to Jesus Christ about what you read.

I remember as a person struggling in my early faith I assumed they were murdered and it was written down that “God did it” to strengthen obedience through fear. Sometimes still struggle with that stand point

IT SOUNDS LIKE THEIR SIN, WAS WILLFUL.

“Discipline”?!

I will differ with you on this one my brother. God does not kill! He came so that we may have life and have it more abundantly. God's judgement of humanity is mercy. How do I know that God does not kill, if Jesus did not kill during his ministry here on earth, God does not kill because Jesus was a true replica of who god is. you remember when Peter took the sword to cut the ear of those who came for Jesus. the lord rebuked him, telling him that he does not operate that way.

Maybe God just decided to speak with them face to face.....

He didn't kill them. They died of fright when they got caught. Otherwise you're saying His wrath wasn't satisfied and He took it out on them "again" for lying. Assuming they were born again believers (which is fair to assume), it makes no sense God would kill them in that they were either forgiven or they weren't. 🙏✝️🙏

Did they really go to Heaven? Is discipline really death? Or were they false converts?

You do realize that if lying was a capital offense and execution was the Holy Spirit's✝️ standard for doing it to Him, no one would be around to view this video! 🤔😰😬🥺😣

But Abraham's wife also lied to God, she said to the Lord: "I did not laugh." Why did she not fall dead? See what I mean? And Peter denied the Lord 3 times. And The Lord never even held it against Him when He made His resurrected appearance. Even Thomas who refused to believe. I mean, denying the Lord and unbelieve ( it is written that unbelief is : departing from the Lord) are also like very serious things!? See what I mean?

Who can say. Peter and abraham both lied Yet they lived!

queston: Peter denied Jesus and he didn't die and was forgiven, but Ananias and Sapphira were dishonest ( same thing Peter did ) but they died at his feet. Why? I get they were the scapegoat to have 'the fear of God' stay real in the church. Another reason I think it could have been is, the dispensation of the Holy Spirit was in full force and no jokin around with the H.S. even as Jesus put it that blasphemy against Jesus can be tolerated but against the H.S is a No no!!.. Another reason is the church was really united and where there's unity the power of God is real just like in the days of Moses ( sons of Korah, Mariam etc.. ) or David and the ark of covenant which killed ... just my 2 cents

This is not so much an answer to the question as it as a response in speculation. Although it is well presented.

If Ananias and Sapphira were true believers why would they lied to Peter to the Holy Spirit and ultimately to God? There was covetousness, lying, self idolatry, theft, hypocrisy, licentiousness, greed,. But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or *covetous* or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler⁠-not even to eat with such a one. - 1 Corinthians 5:11 And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, belonging to the number of the twelve. - Luke 22:3 For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person or *covetous man who is an idolater* has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the *sons of disobedience* - Ephesians 5:5-6 *and will cut him in pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites* in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. - Matthew 24:51 Nowhere in scripture we are told of their repentance, therefore saying they are in heaven or they were true believers is a huge stretch and false, you are either a sheep or a goat...also gives room for a so called brother to claim the faith when no repentance is shown, gives room for licentiousness and debauchery wich goes against God'sword...there's more evidence of their false rotten fruit which cannot be eaten because of its rotteness. You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. So then, you will know them by their fruits. - Matthew 7:16-20 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said to them, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? *Therefore bear fruit in keeping with repentance* and do not suppose that you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father’; for I say to you that from these stones God is able to raise up children to Abraham. The axe is already laid at the root of the trees; therefore every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. - Matthew 3:7-10 There is a kind who is pure in his own eyes, Yet is not washed from his filthiness. - Proverbs 30:12 REPENTANCE FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS...REPENT FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND.

I am writing this before watching the video (Cardinal Sin I suppose). .. but from what I understand, it came down to two things: 1) They were trying to virtue signal without actually giving it all. Yet, had they simply said "Yea, we are willing to give this, but not that."...that would have been e spiritually honest. But hey were trying to benefit from the reputation of being charitable without being straight about it. But that still seems weird, as in instant death seems like overkill. But... onto reason 2: 2) A better explanation (in my humble opinion) is that as the newborn church was developing in it's nascent stage, God sure as hell wasn't going to allow the newborn church to be corrupted from the beginning. (There will be plenty of time for that later).

Where is Grace?

So the lesson boys and girls is don't lie to God because he will Kill you 😮

Sorry. Their punishment was too harsh for their sin. And why weren't they thanked for what they did give? And then be scolded publicly for lying. Unfair! If he treated Congress like that many of them would be dead!

Because they lied to Holy Ghost about being stingy?😮

I would like to know why this God made man and allowed him to get so bad, that he had to be wiped out in a giant flood! And don't give me that crap about "free will"!!!!! An all mighty God that controls the universe would NEVER even think of giving anything, including his angels, that.

All sin leads to death, but not all deaths are physical. Everyone could name someone they would have liked to stay away from at some time or another because of something done or perceived.

Because they lied ? I mean if i tell a lied on court i will be charged as well ... no longer im innocent but guilty. 😢 If anicnet time you lied to a king i wonder how far your head can roll 🤔

If god homself kills you Whatelse that you nevvet knew you were For you are no more No more is nothing Not something i want to experience

Or, what if Peter was wrong? He wasn't infallible and he had to be shown the way in Acts 10:9.

It is not God who killed Ananias and Sapphira. It is Peter's word. Peter is so full of the Spirit and power but still immature in character. He could've responded the other way. Always be mindful of what's coming out of our mouth. Our tongue are that powerful. As Jesus is so are we.

Jesus of Nazareth intervened on behalf of the prostitute. She was sent away in peace and admonished to sin no more...

Because they lied The money was theirs to keep

Nope, Ananias and Sapphira were lost forever when they sinned against the Holy Spirit by lying. It wasn't righteous discipline but righteous judgement. The only sin that will not be forgiven is the blaspheme of the Holy Spirit and that's what Ananias and Sapphira committed, no repentance and cannot be redeemed after this sin. I agree that it was a lesson to the others in the church however, it lets them and us know how seriously God considers this particular sin. This sin was directly against God and from two people who were in the faith and had the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Fear God and do not come under His condemnation, as it won't be forgiven in this world or the world to come.

It was a fatal fib.

Thank you and God Bless. Over the years some of my friends often asked me about this ' Why did GOD kill them.' And I'd say its there in the passage. Peter said to Ananias 'while you had the land it was your own, after it was sold you could have done what you pleased with the money.' They choose to lie to God.

3:15 whoa whoa so your saying all those who Israel judged in the Old Testament were saved? All those who died during the flood were saved? Some on you know that’s not right!!!!

Who believes in God? Christian can't have two faces and hold sins... Must leave old life (all sins) put on His cross transfer to new life no more old life and sins....

Knowing Jesus as the Iiving loving God and based on his behaviour and acts I can not understand how poeple can say that God kills...Only Satan kills...God not only gives life but eternal life...remember Jesus answer to the deciples when they wanted to bring fire from heaven on a village that didn't accept them...he said "Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them"

God killed them because he’s a monster who is more evil than Satan…

Hi, next time do not use the word "story" when you speak about scripture. People really/literally think story and not for real. If you know what I mean.

Ananias and sapphira are not saved! They lied against the spirit of God and that's unforgiveable Quote: 3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? 4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. This is a sin against God's spirit thus it's unforgivable period!

PROOF ALL LIARS DIE AND GO TO HELL> EVEN THE PEOPLE THAT TESTED THE LORDS RIGHTEOUSNESS> PEOPLE HE KNEW. SEE GOD HATES LIARS. LOOK AT YOUR GOVERNMENTS.

Moses and david murdered and GOd didn't kill them................. ..

So we don’t j on why God killed. We just know he did.

Absolutely Nonsense, you talked 5 minutes but seems like talked nothing. If this story is true , then the God is a brutal , ruthless and selfish God. If your children lie, would you kill them? I don't see a merciful God in this scripture.

they were pharisee's

He didn’t, only Satan has the power to kill, Jesus is life not death! Don’t be deceived there are two god written in the bible Jesus does not have the power to kill this would be kingdom divided !!

God is NOT a killer.
