Jesus Christ 2024

So if Jesus Christ were living in the time of the year 2024 and in the United States where we have freedom of religion...

And if he had his own church.  And if he was away from that church for a little while and when he came back there were merchants that set up shop in that church selling goods.

And he chased them out violently with his staff.

Would he be violating their first amendment right to religion?

That would be point one.

But point two is even better.

Does Jesus have the right to kick or expel that which he believes to be satan from his church? 

Does kicking Satan out of the Church violate Satans right to practice religion?

Satan can practice it in his own church?  But then it isn't religion is it, it is paganism or satanism.  I would define that not to be religion.  Even though our gov has transitioned that to not be the case.  Actually Trump signed off on the side of satan in that one.

The issue comes up with mega churches!  Where the Church owner is a billionaire and drives expensive sports cars.  And commits acts of adultery.  And a whole bunch of crimes like that which are not consistent with being holy. 

I think you have to live the word in order to preach it?

Are you free to practice the misrepresentation of religion?  I would say no.  But look how hard it is to close loopholes?  Look how hard it is to convict Trump even with the best and most true evidence against him.

"You are not here to live in the way of Jesus Christ."  That is a statement that would seem to draw the line between who is of religion and practicing it and who is misrepresenting religion and using it like a "Nonworking business."

And what we also see is Priests and Popes asserting that they have the artistic license to say what religion and a faith is?  When all it really amounts to is changing the rules in hopes that you will attract more contributing donors (Downers?)?

You need to be a Catholic and live the life of one in order to say what is consistent with Jesus beliefs or Holy Beliefs?  And perhaps there are things that Jesus didn't know of that if he did, he would have changed his opinion on or had a different opinion on?

To make a statement because you believes it serves as a shield for being a good man?  To placate one group in doing so? 

To calculate how to use religion to drain a Democracy of the free of money and ruin it?  Jesus would not have been for that.

"Give us this day our daily bread."

Use financial machinations to drain a democracy and then claim that the poor were the less intelligent and therefore poor when in reality the poor were the good and the rich acted criminally?  The most dangerous propaganda being that the rich are of a better genetic bread.  The most dangerous form of non working class being those who believe that they were born into, by definition, genetic superior royalty non working class.  You can see two ugly sides to that if you think about history in those terms.
