Mark 11:15-17<\/a><\/p>\n

Luke 19:45-46<\/a><\/p>\n

Compare Matthew 21:12-13; John 2:13-17<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Once more, the ever-accepting, totally non-judgmental Jesus asserted by some seems to be completely invisible in the New Testament.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Obviously, we can\u2019t use his example here to charter our own harsh behavior toward those of whom we disapprove or with whom we disagree. \u00a0Jesus was the Only Begotten Son of God, the Messiah, and the Redeemer. \u00a0He was morally perfect. \u00a0We aren\u2019t. \u00a0Thus, we lack not only the authority but the standing.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

But it seems clear that the notion of Christianity as a vague thing without standards and unable to form judgments has no basis in the gospel accounts of the life of Christ.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Incidentally, the harmony that I\u2019m following \u2014 Kurt Aland, Synopsis of the Four Gospels: Greek-English Edition of the Synopsis Quattuor Evangeliorum<\/em>, 14th ed. (Stuttgart: German Bible Society, 2009) \u2014 makes this a separate entry (273) from 271<\/a>, for reasons that aren\u2019t immediately clear to me.<\/p>\n
