	Ananias (WebBible Encyclopedia) - ChristianAnswers.Net
		Ananias was one of the members of the church at Jerusalem, who conspired with his wife Sapphira to deceive the Christian brothers, and who fell down and immediately died after he had uttered the falsehood (Acts 5:5).
		Ananias might have kept his property had he so chosen; but he professed agreement with the brethren in the common purpose, and had of his own accord devoted it all, as he said, to these sacred ends.
		Ananias was also the name of the high priest before whom Paul was brought in the procuratorship of Felix (Acts 23:2,5, 24).

		The fact that Ananias Wing married a girl who was born in Hampton, New Hampshire, the town that his grandfather, Stephen Bachiler founded, indicates that the Wing family and the Bachiler family may still have kept in touch and that perhaps Ananias Wing met Hannah Tilton during a visit to Bachiler relatives in Hampton.
		Ananias finally went to war as a private soldier under Captain John Gorham in the second expedition against the tribe in 1676, when the troops suffered so severly.
		Ananias Wing is mentioned in 1733 as one who would receive a grant of land in the province of Maine (town of Gorham) for seving in the Indian Wars...but Ananias did not live long enough to know that he was even appreciated, much less served a grant of land.

	Ananias and Sapphira, an Original sin in the Church: the Eschatological Dimension of Money
		Like Ananias' offense, Sapphira's is also one of dishonesty (v.3b, 8b); Ananias dies upon hearing the words of Peter (v.5a); "all who heard" were afraid (v.5b, 11).
		For the author, it is not fortuitous that according to Luke, the two crises that span the "Golden Age" of Christianity both originate in an economic matter: the straying of Ananias and Sapphira, and the recrimination of the Hellenists in the face of the prejudice against their widows (6:1).
		In light of the judgment of Ananias and Sapphira, a foreshadowing of the eschatological judgement, the ethic of sharing possessions acquires extreme import.

		Ananias, if people around you are saying: "My possessions are not mine any more," this is not because they have to say this.
		Ananias and Sapphira stand for the exact opposite, namely, people who have not really been changed on the inside by being satisfied with all that God is for them in Christ, but who still want some place in the visible church.

		Thus it is conceivable that Ananias had access even to primitive sources now lost to us, and in forming an estimate of the genuineness of the long citation from Polycarp of Ephesus with which this homily concludes, this should be taken into account.
		Professor Harnack, however, leans against the genuineness of the citation, because he cannot believe the account given by Ananias in his other tract on Easter of the calendarial activity of Aristides the Apologist, and of Leonidas, father of Origen.
		Ananias may have been wrong about the latter, and yet have been right about Polycarp; especially if----as Harnack admits----the citation is on other grounds likely to be genuine.

	Acts Chapter 5
		Ananias was free to use the money for whatever he wanted - except as a means to inflate his own spiritual pride.

		What Ananias did also must be seen in the context of its time; this was a critical juncture for the early church, and such impurity, sin, scandal and satanic infiltration could have corrupted the entire church at its root.

		This is paralleled in the LXX report of Achan's sin (Josh 7:1), in secular sources describing the pilfering of gold dedicated to the god Apollos (Athenaeus Deiporosophists 6.234) and in the keeping back of crops that had been declared common property in the Celtic tribe Vaccaei (Diodorus Siculus Library of History 5.34.3).
		By asking Ananias why Satan has filled his heart for the purpose of lying to the Holy Spirit and embezzlement, Peter exposes the spiritual battle that is raging (compare Lk 4:1-13).
		Ananias shows not simply a lack of honesty in bringing only a part of the sale price but also a lack of integrity--bringing only a part while pretending to bring the whole (Stott 1990:109).
