Someone pointed out a meme that was shared in a progressive woke religious group.
This meme refer to Jesus clearing the Temple. This is recorded in the beginning and towards the end of Jesus’ ministry; see John 2:13-17, Matthew 21:12-13, Mark 11:15-18, Luke 19:45-46. Previously I have refuted a more extreme leftist appropriation of this narrative to justify riot; see my response here: Jesus’ actions at the temple justify the riots?
For this specific meme the question arises: Does Jesus driving out the money lenders from the Temple refute Free Market Economics? I don’t think this should be used to justify progressive economic agenda and to do so is to misinterpret the passage.
Here’s my thoughts:
