Jesus and the money changers

[Drich]

Hey, look! Drippy's back and still blathering bullshit.

The priests who ran the temple required that the Tyrian shekel - oddly, a coin with the pagan god Melqart on the reverse -

The shekel, with the laureate head of Melqarth-Herakles (a pagan deity) on the obverse and an eagle (a graven image) on the reverse, averaged 14.2 grams in weight and contained at least 94% silver.

Anyway, as your bullshit story goes this practice was instituted by fucking moses himself so your silly attempt to blame the money changers for doing what the priests demanded falls flat.

Which is about par for the course with you.

Sorry Minnie wrong again

While Moses did institute a 1/2 shekel tax, to the temple, then their would have been no need to exchange currency in his day.

It wasn't till much later that money needed to be exchanged.

According to the Jewish library link above, it was the exchangers job to convert whatever the Jews brought to them To acceptable forms of temple worthy gifts. What made these men thieves according to Christ was the fact that a fair exchange was not taking place.
