---Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5.

---This is easy to remember. Their act is not easy to forget. Why? There are still many Ananias and Sapphiras among us or ourselves.

---First look at Peter talking. He repeated twice that they have sinned against God. But the second time he said that they have sinned against the Holy Spirit. So the Holy Spirit is called God.

---This is important when we talk about Trinity or Binity in Adventism. The third heavenly being is called God. It is not just a power. Acts 5 by Peter saying twice the same thing with one word changed.

---What is the problem with giving and holding back?

---Ask the NAD. Holding back from the General Conference tithes because of an upset case in 2015 with Woman Ordination not accepted the third time in Session.

---So what is the issue? The issue is that Paul and other writers and speakers like Jesus did not spell out that a woman should be a pastor or like Timothy 2 reads about the desire of some to be elders, should be “husbands of one wife” and a woman cannot be a “husband” says a Baptist professor from a university in California. And he is right.

---Session and majority vote of other Divisions were correct biblically.

---Wrong in the eyes of the Jezebels and feministic influenced modern Jurisprudence who wants to accommodate and make comfortable really even added the devil if they can.

---Non biblical culture against biblical text. Where should Adventists stand? First world countries all said stand with modern culture. Also the NAD. Other divisions across the globe said “stand with the Bible”. Majority rule: Bible. Thus the4 vote of 2015. Got the line?

---But moving out of the GC building and withholding tithes from the GC became the rule.

---Ananias and Sapphira did what? Withholding. Oops.

---And we thought it can never happen in modern times. Only those two souls?

---It is now 2023 and if the NAD is still grumbling over their departure of a biblical principle it is time to come in line and convert and repent and make restitution.

---If leadership is leading the sheep in the wrong direction God will shake the tree and the bad apples will fall off and He will use new young leaders who are post-modern, the proper Adventist way.

---Hasel, Dederen, Canale, and Baldwin said that Adventism is a post-modern religion because it is a post-critical religion. Modernism is critical of religion and the Bible. Adventists are not. Modernism was the past eras and generations. Since we are not, therefore we are post-modernists. Nice right?

---Are you a post-modernist clinging to the Word of God though the heavens may fall?

---Not? Time to change.

---When? Right now.

---You?
