(3) Keeping in mind the moneychangers in Jesus day affected the house of God a derogatory way, please look with me at another possible present day moneychanger.
One of the most potent and poisonous religious moneychangers is the one who places himself in the judgement seat and judges other mens' lives. Jesus called him "...the unjust judge..." (Luke 18:6) but Jesus revealed that eventually the efforts of the unjust judge would be in vain and that God will "...avenge His own elect..." "...which cry day and night unto Him..." (Luke 18:7).
This matter of judging others is so distasteful to God that He in inspiration tells us over and over of the wrongness of it.
"Let us not judge one another anymore..." (Romans 14:13)
"...why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgement seat of Christ." (Romans 14:10)
"Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven".(Luke 6:37)
Now hear this Mr. Moneychanger. Words from the Just Judge "For with what judgement you judge you will be judged. (Matt. 7:2)
