Yeah, I've read the reply. But the offer, suggesting that they had that capability (through God, of course) was what I was talking about. There are scriptures that show us, like this one, that having the ability to do miracles (through the Spirit) does not mean that you don't wrestle with your own human desires/thoughts. Moses striking the rock comes to mind. I personally am not sure about Peter killing Ananias and Sapphira. While I know that they did wrong, I sometimes feel that this does not really flow with the rest of the NT. Maybe it was because they were transitioning between the old and new. Or maybe God just wanted to make an example of them. For me it is one of the mysteries, but not one that I plan to spend a lot of time on.
