Dr. Hsiung,
In response to your writing that you think that it is acceptable here for your guest expert in relation to the Christian perspective, using a christian bible passage where Jesus turned over the moneychanger's tables in the Temple to indicate that Jesus felt "anger", I was wondering if you could consider the following in relation to your post to me about another topic that one could,[...get me to change my mind...]
The Nazi propaganda for Hitler used that part of the Christian bible in an attempt to sway the German Christians against the Jews. The propaganda was written by Joseph Goebbles before the election of Hitler
In the following link of the Nazi propaganda, there is a separate section titled,"Why Do We Oppose the Jews?"
About the 5th sentence from the end of that section, Goebbles writes,[...Christ himself saw that love did not always work. When he found the moneychangers in the Temple, he did not say,"Children, love one another!" He took up a whip and drove them out....].
Do you think that the use of any part of the Christian bible passage, Mark 11:15, has the potential, to arrouse antisemitic feelings?
