The Romans were doing the coin shaving, the moneychangers who were part of the Temple exchange were using an exchange rate that was like charging interest. This was forbidden under the Law of Moses.
“If you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor, you shall not be like a moneylender to him, and you shall not exact interest from him.
Lev. 25: 36-37
Take no interest from him or profit, but fear your God, that your brother may live beside you. You shall not lend him your money at interest, nor give him your food for profit.
Like in England when the crown stole the money from the treasury and then blamed the Jews getting them expelled from the country and confiscating their property. Rinse and repeat.
I have long wondered if the reason Jesus was so upset at the money changers was because He could also see into the future, and He knew about all the evil that would be perpetrated by the central bankers throughout history.
Everyone knew about the money changers. I always wondered why Usury in the olden days, was considered the worst crime someone could possibly do. I said what’s the big deal about charging interest. I learned my lesson. Almost every civilization collapse has a sorry of currency manipulation behind it.
This is one of the reasons I do not go to church! My church is on the hill behind my grandfather's house, in the middle of the apple grove. My families pastor convinced 99% of his congregation to get the clot-shot, to wear masks, and trust the government. He even is putting on a separate service for all the "turbo-cancers" that his congregation is experiencing.
I am waiting to hear more about all the preachers that get paid to push this bullshit! I would rather call them corrupt rather than stupid, because after all, the book they teach out of both contradicts them and tells the truth!
Most of them dont need tobget paid to do it. They are secular minded not biblically minded and follow the herd. Most churches dont operate any power like Jesus did. I found a place peiple believe in the actual power of God thstbis energised in us when we believe. Anything else just doesnt satisfy. We have few sick and people get healed quickly. I know 2 people in the past six months with miraculous healing from cancer. Over 900 promises in the bible you dont see people receiving them in most churches. Someone needs prayer a single text will have thousand praying.
The buildings is not the church Jesus was referring to. The church is the people meeting to worship God. " 2 or more in my name".
I was looking for a good church in Bakersfield, only found one, and I joined, standing room only.
I waited 45 minutes at a Sunday service for them to mention God or Jesus, they talked about bake sales and other money matters and nothing even about the Bible. I got up and left, as I was leaving one guy asked me why, told him and he was stupid enough to ask me to give a tithe. I told him worshiping Bal or whatever his name is, is what he is doing, just as Moses people did.
They forced the people to pay in Jewish coinage and then screwed them on the exchange rate. So your 10% tax was probably 30% or more.
Coin shaving
The Lord abhors, dishonest weights and measures

For my friends the downvoters, evidence:

Modern banks have a similar operation: ForeignExchange Dept; go through any airport and you will see this racket first hand. Gold WILL end this FED!!

Guess what: the Muslims take this tack, in the form of a 'tax' placed on you if you don't convert: https://rumble.com/v71htge-influencer-gets-death-threats-after-calling-out-the-so-called-religion-of-p.html?e9s=src_v1_upp_a
What do you mean "modern day Christian leaders"?
You mean "some" right? Or have you never been exposed to solid Christian leaders?
Don't over generalize and slap solid and faithful Christian leaders in the face
It’s just a header.
... That was inaccurate.... That you wrote.
There are countless solid faithful Christian leaders laying their lives on the line for the Gospel and their flocks.
Your headline sounded like something from /r/Atheist on reddit.
Do better.

The Bible forbids it, for good reason.

That was the exact gospel read today at Catholic Mass.
His Fathers House was being corrupted and his Father told him to do it. As Jesus always did his Fathers will. What is God telling you to do?
This was yesterdays gospell at mass, (John 2:13-22).
