Why is it acceptable for money to be exchanged in the temple?
Dear Gramps,
If Jesus chased the people who were trading with money out of the temple (with a great big stick I might add) why is it acceptable for money to be changing hands in the modern temple in the cafes and the clothes hire?
Whitestuff, from Queensland, Australia
Dear Whitestuff,
There is a vast difference, which should be obvious to all, between the legitimate functions of the holy temples and the wicked profiteering, rebuked by the Savior, that was a desecration to the House of the Lord.
