HA, the issue was that the custom was to sell and then bring the entirety of the proceeds. The comment about holding back some shows that they were conspiring together to deceive people into thinking that was the entirety of the sum they received in the sale. And it was for that lie and deceipt that they suffered their consequence, not merely the fact they kept some for themselves.

Talk all you want. The text is clear. Lying in the presence of God is why they died."It ain't necessarily so

And as you acknowledged neither of us actually know what percentage of Christians posters here belong to which specific denominations.
Hence my initial comment that the Christian members of these boards are not representative of Christianity within the USA and the wider world. You are a tiny fraction."It ain't necessarily so

No, that first sentence is in error. They didn't have to give ANY money to the church or the poor. Peter is clear on that:

Here is the literal translation of the Greek from Acts 5.1-3
And a certain man Ananias by name with Sapphira the wife of him sold a property and appropriated from the price aware of [it] also the [his] wife [=his wife also being aware of it] and bringing a a certain part at the feet of the apostles placed [it]
[See: The Interlinear NRSV and NIV Parallel New Testament in Greek and English, Interlinear Translation by Alfred Marshall. Zondervan, 1993]"It ain't necessarily so
The things that you're liable
To read in the Bible
It ain't necessarily so."

What is the translation of verse 4? Peter accuses them of claiming to have given the whole price but lying about it. And points out that it was theirs to do with what they wanted.
