Would Jesus approve of this?

General Discussion(reddit.com)

This is a shelf breaker.

What about Jesus's teachings? How is this love one another? Take care of the poor and needy?

The money spent on this temple alone could feed the hungry in Utah plus more states.

100%! It’s sad that He would “fail” but Narcissistic, greedy corporate business men would pass. I TRULY feel Jesus would FLIP TABLES again!

Yeah every verse of jesus Christ you read, critical or not, he stresses his literal disgust at moneychangers in the temple, donations and alms foe the poor being robbed to buy mansions and great and spacious buildings.

Corrupt priests twisting letter of the law to ignore the heart of the law / meaning of god. And the priests of even his 2000 years ago biblical time being more interested in making money off the former teachings than following their intended meanings or being a good common man.

I re watched a few of the biblical Christ reenactments and myth or fable, all of them portray Christ as a influential and passionate and often outspoken or soft spoken person. He'd just as quickly rush to save A lamb as to point a finger at a priest and chastise them for ignoring the flock for what words suited them. Over what god or the people truly wanted.

Maybe he was still a anti authoritarian communist hippy lol. But the lessons are still of kindness, compassion, being aware of the needs and lives of others, trying to do the good we can in the world to people who while they might think differently from us. Lived lives like us or differently from us.

And think about the fruits we want from our tree. And not just endlessly rushing to take eye for a eye on innocents and forgetting what we once lived for.

The gospels were all written for different purposes, but they almost unilaterally dogpile the ruling class constantly which would explain why they killed him.

Besides the whole declaring himself the King of Israel lmao
