Ananias and Sapphira

Sell a possession and keep back part of the price; bring the partial as though it were the whole; Peter discerns the lie is not to men but to the Holy Spirit; both fall dead in turn; great fear comes on the church. Failure mode: Pretending to a generosity not actually given; lying to the Spirit while the church watches. Restoration path: None taken. Markers: public giving culture; kept-back portion presented as the whole; Spirit-discerned lie; sequential judgment; fear on the whole assembly
