Does God Still Kill People (Ananias and Sapphira)?

[Michael The Disciple]

Yes he does. A very good reason to fear God.

We should be careful and follow context.
Yes, there are instances where we can define fear as being afraid: but to the
believer, we are they who revere and honor God, and not fear (as in afraid)
the One who does save. [Exam.] "Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his
hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear (honor; give reverence to) God,
give audience."

The world, in their natural understanding fear God, but NOT to the keeping
of his statutes and commandments. They believe in God's existence and His
power, but they fall short of believing His WORD and His promises!
And yet, there are those who might believe but are seeking a loopole to escape
His judgments. And of course, there are the naysayers and scoffers.

Do you mind substantiating the claim above through the Holy Scriptures? I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Well obviously one could start with Ananias and Saphira. I dont think I have heard anyone say anyone except God killed them.

Here is one that is rather fearful.

Rev 2:20-23

20Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. 21And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. 22Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. 23And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts:

Note verse 23. And I will kill her children with death.

I dont see how it could be clearer do you?

God will send 2 prophets in Rev. 11 who will kill multitudes by pronouncing his judgments. Not to mention all God will kill by his trumpet judgments.

Personally I dont think a case could be made that he does not kill in the New Testament times.
