Bible Note: Doc I hit a 'p' where I should have hit a 't'. I meant to say I don't see how we can reconcile Jesus' actions to the fact they we cheating. Again I was focusing on the fact that Jesus drove out what would be both the supposed criminals and also the victims. To me this means He had something else in mind and that being conducting commerce in the Lord's house. Doc I think there are many stories that may or may not have happened. Let us face facts if money was involved I'm sure man had brought corruption into it somehow. EdB |
