also stood up for justice. When the moneychangers were keeping God-fearing Gentiles from praying in the only place in the Temple they were allowed to go into, Jesus drove them out with a whip.
The main message of Jesus, upon which he said every other commandment of God hung, was to Love God with all your heart, and to love your neighbor as yourself.
Which is why it makes me wonder why RW Christians are so much more concerned with posting the 10 commandments in a courthouse, rather than those two commandments of love in their hearts. Honestly, some of the most hateful things I've ever heard has come from the mouths of "Christians" like Falwell, etc. Don't understand it.
Edit: The 10 Commandments never fed a hungry child, or sheltered the homeless, or visited a prison--something which Jesus would advocate.
