It isn't about "policing" anything. You're trying to use legality to weasel out of morality. "I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man!" -- Lucky Ned Pepper

I said that YOU are confusing legality with morality. There was no legal framework in Jesus' community. Misuse of community funds was a moral issue, not a legal one.
Feel free to show anything that I have twisted. The only satan is within you. "I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man!" -- Lucky Ned Pepper

I didn't mean any courts at all. If you follow the conversation back, we were discussing the community or "commune" of Jesus and His disciples. They were on an honor system. "I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man!" -- Lucky Ned Pepper

If Jesus is God, what's the difference? Who would the Trinity be sacrificing to? Who would the Trinity be a sacrifice for? "I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man!" -- Lucky Ned Pepper

We're not talking about "the Jews". We're talking about Jesus' "commune" - the disciples, maybe some camp-followers. We're talking about how they handled their communal treasury.
Because they're two different things. "I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man!" -- Lucky Ned Pepper

Jesus' commune didn't live in a temple. Edited by ringo, : fixed quote "I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man!" -- Lucky Ned Pepper

Non sequitur. You seem to be having a lot of trouble understanding a simple concept: What we're discussing here is ONLY the honor system that Jesus and His disciples and camp-followers used in disbursing their collective personal resources. Everything outside their group is irrelevant. "I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man!" -- Lucky Ned Pepper

You're the one who's running and hiding. I said that your statement was a non-sequitur. Your proper response would be to show what your reasoning is or to ask me what I don't follow about your reasoning. "I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man!" -- Lucky Ned Pepper

Asking you to clarify your statements IS a decent reply. "I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man!" -- Lucky Ned Pepper
