You know...the part in the entire bible..that always seemed weird to me....is when jesus goes to jerusalem...and wrecks the temple for turning it into a casinoy, market place. That...I think...is where the words start to distort for me. His followers were recording the events. So these stories are from their perspective. His followers...which were absolutely subjective to jesus' plight. ...but the historical record of crucifixion. People were crucified for even simple crimes. Is it not plausible, that his messianic claims irritated the temple...but by wrecking the market....those actions, angered them. Destroying the livelihood of the operators of those shops etc. Those owners demanded that jesus be punished...and the temple understood...and they too were outraged.
My question is.... could it be...that...
Jesus was crucified for destroying the temple...
But was simply mocked for his claims of being the messiah?
And since his followers recorded the events...in the mindset of jesus being the messiah, exaggerated the importance of his martyrdom...but diminished the importance of actions of destroying the market?
I know it seems stupid to put so much on such a seemingly pointless detail. But...considering the reasons for crucifixion...is it so far fetched?
The strength of religious conviction has always given way to falsehoods. Crying statues of Mary. Stigmata. Self proclaimed prophets. The modern day church, turning into a marketplace, apparently far far far from jesus. But
Done in the name of jesus, and god. A falsehood on behalf of those in charge of the church.
I'm only writing this because, its been rolling around my head for a while....
