In Matthew 21:12 Jesus drives out the merchants from the temple.

He damages or destroys private property. He assaults or threatens assault against the merchants.

These were crimes in those days.

Why wasn't Jesus arrested for this? If not by the Jews, then by the Romans?

Why didn't any of these merchants sue him, or call for guards?

He is never called to account for this by the local authorities or those injured.

The "chief priests and scribes" say nothing about it three verses later (Matt 21:15), nor the next time he entered the temple (Matt 21:23).

It is as if the event never happened, for all the attention anyone else paid to it.

Explain?

These two were dating, a girl on here said she was very offended when her white boyfriend said that and that he "didn't understand" why she was mad.....

I hardly see how that is insulting, I'm Hispanic, if I got some brown or tan icing on me and my white girlfriend said 'hey it matches, it's okay!' I would laugh.

Can someone explain to me? Doesn't it seem a stupid reason to come on Yahoo and complain about your ex? This was one of the ways she tried to make him seem racist....?

What are the implications for the protestant movement. Its pretty arrogany to proclaim that for 1600 years people were lost until the reformation.

I mean you have to be pretty hard headed to go with that.

As I said serious question it would be useful to get a learned response instead of the usual immature "christian" dribble.

Here's some facts about the Bible followed by a follow-up question:

- God did not directly write the Bible

- God "divinely inspired" men to write the Bible

- Men are fallible (capable of committing errors)


So, since Jesus Christ was "God in the flesh" why didn't he just write the whole Bible while he was here, to ensure accuracy? Why leave it to the chance that men would make errors in it?

I dont understand how you believe that the wine literally turns into blood. And do not correct me, I asked a priest, and he said Catholics believe the wine actually turns into Jesus' blood, that it is no longer wine. Well, I have to say...It IS wine at the end of the day. Like, you can drink it and become drunk for proof. Also, the church sounds so much like a cult...listen...
1) You are baptised welcomed into the church
2) the leader of the church wears a special gown
3) You eat your gods flesh and his blood.
4) you all prey to your leader
5) that priest reads from an anciant book, you all answer the same thing at the same time

Does this all sound a bit...I dont know...Wierd to you? Or can you honestly say God who is a humble man, wants this? If God is perfect, he would be humble, a humble man would not insist on such cult like antics.

All other translations have realized that the use of "Kill" is not only translationally wrong- it introduces an obvious contradiction as God had in the O.T. sponsored wars against populations that were totally given over to evil. Why doesn't the KJV fix the clear and obvious translational error?

If you have given money to the church in the past few years, guess where it has gone? No, it's not helping the poor or starving. Instead it is in the hands of people who were abused by preists. Millions of dollars collected over the years by the church have gone to perverted preists to pay restitution to the people they abused over the years. So the next time they pass the seemingly charitable basket arounnd to collect money from the people, remember where your money is going. It's going to keep perverted priests out of jail.

People who do that sort of thing are really pathetic. After all, walking never killed anyone, and God knows that a lot of these people could use a little exercise! Not only that, but it's really annoying for the rest of us to get stuck behind a bunch of cars that keep driving around in circles.

...............when the thought of fundamentalists (muslim OR christian) controlling world governments instills so much fear in most of us?

Isn't the "live & let live" attitude to religious beliefs a bit like burying your head in the sand to the dangers that fundamentalism presents?

I have worked as a cashier for the past 5 years. On more than one occasion, customers have given me little bits of trash to throw away for them. To say the very least, this is insulting, because it seems as though they not only look at us cashiers as the people who take their money and give them their change, but also as little more than maids. Not only does it show that these people are arrogant, but it also shows that they are too lazy and/or stupid to find the nearest trash can and throw away their own garbage!

What is the Christian response to Jewish claims that Jesus does not fit the description of the Messiah from the Old Testiment, that the temple was not restored when Jesus walked the earth, that the world was not at peace, that words from the Bible were purposefully changed or missinterpreted to fit Jesus as the messianic description etc?
