Is it really protesting the government if you take the government’s permission before protesting?
Why the same government arms protestors and supports destruction of property in other countries

Did he do that?
ajmaxwell@lemmy.world 2 months ago
You bet your ass he did.
When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers’ money and overturned the tables.
dvlsg@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Supposedly he took hours to make the whip. Plenty of time to premeditate on that destruction.

I guess I could read John to understand the context.

One of the few things that winds up being included in all four gospels.

One of the interesting things I’ve found while reading through is that while there’s a lot of minor sins mentioned once each in the old testament (like mixed fiber clothing) the one commandment that is mentioned more than any other, like almost word for word with every repeat is keeping the Sabbath. And many of those repeat mentions also specify that it applies to your workers / servants as well. Even if they’re not also Jewish, it’s a sin for you as the Jewish person to not give them their rest day. Idk I just found that super interesting especially in this modern context of modern US Christianity flavored capitalism.

The version in John is the best, though

How does this apply to gift shops most mega churches have how is that no exactly what Jesus in this meme is against?
ayyy@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
It’s not just maga churches. For example the Notre Dame in Paris is like 60% gift shop and bitcoin tithing kiosk.
lookingforanALFpolycule@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Unless those shops sell flesh, Jesus’s words don’t really apply to that. He called the priests who practiced slaughter for money “violent robbers”

And then there’s that one time time Bostoners turned the Atlantic Ocean into a teapot.

That’s like saying the guillotine must not inconvenience the head of the rich

He didn’t destroy the property, he just rearranged it.
bearoftheisle@europe.pub 2 months ago
Kind of how you rearrange the atoms in the tools of oppression when you burn them down
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 months ago
No sweet, though. He promised to rebuild it in three days
PaintedSnail@lemmy.world 2 months ago
WHOSE property matters. Jesus busted up the property of the people causing the problem. Too often I see this as justification for burning cars in the street.

Jesus was the property owner, he was running off squatters.
amniote@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Temples were also banks / fiscal offices in those days. The conflict is imagined, unless maybe early class analysis.
Pacattack57@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yes that’s why Jesus got mad lol

“This is the most biblically accurate scene in the film. I know Jesus screamed at them in falsetto!”

Then stop making it a necessity to redress grievances.

Read ‘Temples, tithes and taxes’ by religious scholar Marty Stevens. Impressive scientific book on intersection of religion & economics.
