About Me
- Kristina
- Food lover, wanna be writer, mother, web designer, music lover, disciple of Christ. More? The only thing I can say is that I'm very blessed. What else there is to say? Christ bore my sin so that I may stand before the Father in a righteousness that is not my own. I am forgiven, not because of who I am but because of who Christ is and what He has done. I am His, and every day I must strive to walk that out in faith. Each day I fail, but He is quick to forgive when I come to Him in broken hearted repentance. I can't begin to tell you how that amazes me.

Good question! I have wondered the same thing.
can i stab at it? the moneychangers were selling sacrifices - people traveling would need a sacrifice, and they'd be forced to purchase a $10 dove for $150. the moneychangers were extorting "on behalf of the Lord", often with bad merchandise.
selling something in the church lobby isn't the same thing, unless what you're buying would then be given as a sacrifice or offering to the Lord.
without getting technical about whether or not it's okay to sell stuff @ church - basically, if you purchasing something is supposed to make you somehow closer to God at a way too exhorbitant ripoff price-gauging price, that's wrong. that's where the "den of thieves" came in - if $10 birds were sold for $10, no harm no fowl. (sorry, couldnt help myself).
Hmm, you raise a good point and and pun was very clever!, oh and by the way thanks for stopping by! :)
