That's great.   That's not what any biblical scholar reads it as however.

Logic > Biblical Scholar

But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back some of the price of the land?

The lie is in holding back some of the price when he was required to give it all.

Read one line below that Manus.

As long as it remained unsold, wasn't it your own? And after it was sold, wasn't the money at your disposal? So how could you have thought of doing what you did? You didn't lie only to men, but also to God!"

He was free to do with the money what he saw fit.  The lie was that he said it was all of it... when it wasn't and he promised god it all.
