How does the harsh discipline in the case of Ananias and Sapphira apply (if at all) to false teachers who scam their followers for financial gain?
We read about the harsh judgment of Ananias and his wife. We also read about false teachers who are proven beyond reasonable doubt of abusing people for financial gain in the name of Lord. What is the real message here?
Acts 5:1 - 42
ESV - 1 But a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property. 2 And with his wife's knowledge he kept back for himself some of the proceeds and brought only a part of it and laid it at the apostles' feet.
