Comment on When did Cash for Chritianity become a thing? When even Jesus the son of god wouldn't stand for it in a church? If they preach why don't they practice from the bible?

It’s always been a business. Even in biblical times. The only time Jesus got violent in the Bible, was when he beat the shit out of the money lenders doing business in the temple.

Crazy how the only thing to cause the son of God to fly into a violent rage was unfettered capitalism

  He also killed a fig tree for not having any figs on it.
  
  This is also perfectly understandable.

The question was kind of vague in terms of what part of Christianity he was questioning, but it seems to be focused on how churches currently function. At that point, I figured I’d focus on prosperity gospel for some US churches, which is a uniquely American phenomenon.

To just say “religion has always been like that” may bury understanding on how the current form came into being.
