Acts 4:32 – chapter 5 — ‘of one heart and one mind’ vs. greed of Ananias & Sapphira
By Jeff | August 9, 2008
When people come together with “one mind” and “one heart,” the result can range from the kingdom of Heaven on Earth at best and blasphemous Babel at worst. To be one, believers in Messiah must look for ways to unite, as husband and wife should, under the purpose of God to reveal Salvation — Yeshua — to the world. As Rabban Gamaliel predicted in the trial of Peter and John, the movement of God through them through time has not been stopped.
This is a continuation of a discussion on "one mind" and "one heart" from Acts 4:32.
