Wasn't it in the NT where Jesus kicked the banksters out of a church?
Could be. I may have missed that part. I only read the bible once for fun. I just remember "tax collectors and sinners" all throughout the old testament, but taxes as good in the new.
There's a scene at the temple where Jesus turns over the tables of the money changers in anger and kicks them out. I think that's what he's referring to. The New Testament isn't that lengthy if you want to read through it again. It's been awhile since I read either, but I don't remember the "pay your taxes" part. I remember the 10% tithe to the church though. Is that what you're referring to?
Yep, you've got that right.
