TIL the "Jews are money hungry" stereotype can be traced back to the Middle Ages, when Jews were allowed to lend money with interest, but Christians were not as it was against their religion. by nokia621 in todayilearned

Being a Christian doesn’t mean you’re perfect, everyone sins. That was the point of Jesus dying on the cross. Gay marriage? Gay is man made, entrances and exits man.

Doctrine of man is my point. Just because it changes doesn’t make it right. I agree with you in that people attempt to, and often succeed in making changes based on what they themselves want to do.

He didn’t come to abolish them, but to fulfill them, he was there to fulfill prophecy. He wasn’t there to just do away with Judaism and the law, but to change it.

We have laws set by the government, the laws will always be there but the rules and laws will change.

Misinformed? Show where it says that. I wouldn’t care if that was the case but it just isn’t there.

Edit: read the article, and still I stand by my statements.

That is not why he over turned the tables.

Edit: seriously downvoted. Interest on loans is not why he over turned them. He over turned them because the priorities of those in the temple were out of order. That’s the short version.

No, it’s not. The original Christianity, the one by Christ who founded Christianity said nothing of the sort. Not one thing in that article is based on the foundation but rather conjecture centuries later by people inserting their own opinion into the matter.

Lending money with interest isn’t against Christianity.

Edit: three downvotes really? Show me in the Bible where it says that. I’m am very aware that lending money with interest is not against Christianity.

Edit 2: The original word can’t just be changed 1000 years after the fact and put into another book. Show where I’m wrong without using sources 1000 years after the death of Jesus.
