    I know from 4 1/2 years ago. 
 I am not a Biblical scholar in any way, but when Jesus overturned the money changers tables in the temple, is a corollary to what Trump and Musk are doing to the grifters in the federal government?

    Well, I thought Jesus told us to try and live life without sin—is that right wing?
 
To: DallasBiff
    Wow, look who thinks Jesus is important all of a sudden.

    It’s amazing how many atheists, “scholars,” and “theologians,” there are to assure us that Jesus really founded The First Church of Christ, Communist.

    Rendering to Caesar what is Caesars is now out of the question.

    I always thought of Jesus as one who espoused Universal Values. Sort of a One Size Fits All (Souls).
It is only the individual religions who have declared moral fiefdoms as their own and cherry picked values to honor.

    Well, he sure as hell didn’t have much in common with those pervs pushing sex onto children and grown men taking it up the ass. He also didn’t have much in common with followers of atheist Marx.
Yeah, he was a definitely a repub. In fact, he was straight up MAGA.
And he doesn’t like Brits or Canadians too much either, but they can still be saved.

    I’m sure that this unreadable book by some wingnut professor will force a dramatic change in how Americans view Christianity.

    Every that’s Caesar’s belongs to God.

    I don’t think so. Government agencies don’t equate to ‘the temple’.

Just Rongald Reagan (The Great One) was pointed to as a voice of reason by dems for almost EVERY republican that ran later on.
“Ronald Reagan was GREAT but this guy’s awful!!” :)

    “when Jesus overturned the money changers tables in the temple”
if this happened it is just more evidence that Jesus was a Roman psy-op
joseph Atwill and others have written extensively about this possibility

    Jesus fed 5,000 people to show them it could be done and then cut off them off his day of welfare...
