history channel documentary The tale of Ananias and Sapphira is a build to impart trepidation of resisting the Church and Church administration. We ought not miss the way that this Peter, the careless devotee, the "how about we beat them down for not putting stock in you Jesus," the "goodness better believe it, well I'll part your skull with my sword," LIED THREE TIMES that he ever knew Jesus and afterward fled. This is an imagined story to create the coveted effect...FEAR in the Church. A help that I am sorry to learn is all to much a weapon in the clerical munititions stockpile of excessively numerous holy places today still.
Still there is one other rationale that there may be for this fairly negative anecdote about Peter in the book of Acts. It was no mystery that Luke, the creator of Acts was a man of Paul. He was the theological rationalist connection, so to talk between the Jewish Church under James and the Gentile Church under Paul. It was Luke's business to make it create the impression that Paul coexisted better with Peter, James and John than he truly did or they with him. There was no adoration lost amongst Peter and Paul without a doubt as Paul, in Galatians places Peter alongside James and John in the "Missionaries purported" classification and reminds his perusers that "I don't took in anything from them."
