Jesus wouldn't shake hands with the money lenders in the temple - because they were Jewish!
Doesn't this prove that he was an anti-semitic semite?

Oh for cry'n out loud! Jesus was a Jew! A Hebrew!
No he wasn't racist against anyone!
He wouldn't shake hands of the money lenders in the temple regardless of their ethnicity. They were in the temple doing unGodly things.

Jesus didnt do that bcoz he was racist, but bcoz the lenders were profanating the temple.
Dont you remember that in some occasion He said also....."Love the ones to the others"?
Dont take the Bible sentences out of their real context.

Don't hold a grudge. Jesus was Jewish. The money lenders were turning a house of God into a "den of theives". How can you be Jewish and then be anti-semitic?

No Jesus was a Jew if as you say he did not shake hands and I would like the reference it was because the money lenders hands were dirty.

Where in the Bible does it say Jesus refused to shake hands with the money changers in the temple? He was angry that they were there because they were conducting business in a place that was made for the purpose of worship. That's why he chased them out. It had nothing to do with racism.

The bible says Jesus threw out the money lenders because they were "thieves". Where is your evidence that it was their Jewishness he despised?

Going on the basis of your bizzare argument, if I dislike George Bush that makes me an anti-white white person! So is no one allowed to dislike people of their own race, because that will make them racist?!

Um hang on...Jesus was a Jew?
Anyway, it's not fair for me to speculate if he was a racist or not I wasn't around to say for sure.

You are better off just saying you despise Jesus and leave it at that. God will respect your boldness, and deal with your hurting heart. When you reach like this to slander the King of Kings, you don't do yourself any favors, friend.
