AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 21:12 ¶ And Jesus entered the temple [grounds] and drove out [with force] all who were buying and selling [birds and animals for sacrifice] in the temple area, and He turned over the tables of the moneychangers [who made a profit exchanging foreign money for temple coinage] and the chairs of those who were selling doves [for sacrifice]. [Mark 11:15-18; Luke 19:45-47; John 2:14-16] |
Subject: Selling on the Church ground. |
Bible Note: Doc Sounds a lot like some modern churches. Where once the dynasty is established it is passed from father to son. I know one instance where the combined income of the father/son is enough to choke a horse. Like I said anything involving money and man will figure a way to corrupt it. EdB Ps the term 'choke a horse' isn't an inner circle theological term, it is country for a lot. Like in they made a huge amount of money. |
