Does God Still Kill People (Ananias and Sapphira)?

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.
