Concept:The death of Ananias and Sapphira is a biblical example of divine judgment upon deliberate deception and hypocrisy before God.
Explanation:Ananias and Sapphira sold a piece of property and brought part of the money to the apostles.
They pretended to donate the full amount while secretly keeping some of it for themselves.
Peter exposed their deceit, telling Ananias that he had lied not to men but to the Holy Spirit.
Immediately after hearing this, Ananias fell down and died.
When Sapphira later arrived, she repeated the same falsehood and was also struck dead.
Their offence was not the sale of their land, nor the act of giving itself.
Rather, they conspired together to lie to the Holy Spirit and to test the Lord through their dishonesty.
This event is recorded in Acts 5:1–11 and serves as a warning against hypocrisy in the early church.
Answer:B. Lying to the Holy Spirit
