T...there was nothing funny about the kind of crown the religious/political community placed upon His head.

The crown isn't funny, but your use of it is pedantic and sophist.

You missed the whole point...

No, I simply stand firm refusing your effort to change the subject.

Oh so you know what Matthew 23:9 says.

Yes, and it does not say what you claimed it says. You can look that one up.

The subject should always be Christ, and I have not changed that subject.

Now where are those Scriptures instructing buildings of wealth and grandeur in the name of Christ?

Seems appropriate to put to writing what Matthew 23:9 says out of the mouth of Christ.

Let's start in Matthew 23:1 Then spake JESUS to the multitude, and to His disciples,

2 Saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat:

What is Moses’ seat that Christ is instructing??? Do you know, is it part of your tradition???

3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say and do not.

4 For they BIND heavy burdens and grievous to be born, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.

5 But all their works they do for to be SEEN of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their GARMENTS,

6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the CHIEF seats in the synagogues,

7 And greetings in the markets, and to be CALLED of men, RABBI, RABBI.

8 But BE NOT ye called Rabbi: for ONE is your Master, even Christ; and ALLLLLL ye are brethren.

NOW here is the command of Christ

9 And call NO man your father upon the EARTH: for ONE is your Father, Which is in heaven.

10 Neither be ye called masters: for ONE is your Master, even Christ.

11 But he that is GREATEST among you shall be your servant.

Just to clear up the pedantry and sophist projections. And the ‘gospel’ that the church is suppose to be instructing the sheeples. I did NOT pen this but would it NOT be considered ‘sola scripture’?????
