If You Found $100,000, Would You Keep or Return?


Let's say you were the only one around driving in a desert somewhere, in the middle of nowhere. You see a wallet laying on the ground all by itself. So you stop the car to take a closer look. You pick it up and find $100,000 cash in it. You also find an ID or driver's license in the wallet. You look around and there is no one in sight, you are miles and miles away from everyone.
So, the question is:

1. Would you contact the person on the driver's license and tell them you found their wallet with $100,000 in it?

2. Would you keep the $100,000, don't say anything to anyone and drive off, because no one will know?

3. Would you keep a small portion of it, contact the person on the driver's license and tell them you found their wallet with the remaining balance in it?

So, in my opinion from a Christian stand point, the answer resides in Acts chapter 5 verses 1 thru 10.

This is my interpretation of Acts chapter 5:
Verses 1 thru 10 speaks about a husband and a wife being deceitful to the church.
We have to be careful with what we do, because GOD can see everything.
Therefore, if you are able to pull a fast one over someone, you will never be able to fool or trick GOD. In these scriptures, the husband and wife even died after being exposed to what they have done. Therefore, the Christian answer is 1, contact the person and return the full amount of money that was in their wallet. 12-12-18



"thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God" 

Acts 5:1 - 10:

1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,

2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.

3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?

4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.

5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.

6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.

7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.

8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.

9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.

10 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.
