Question

 

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?

Answer

 

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.
