Revenge of the money changers

What gives 71 people the gall to question the way their church spends their money?

Two Rivers Baptist Church voted to oust 71 dissident members from the church Sunday, reversing a vote from a week earlier to allow them to stay in the church.

The 71 Baptists first questioned the Rev. Jerry Sutton, pastor of the 6,000-member mega-church, and other leaders in July 2007 concerning financial records they say show improper spending.

They sued Sutton and Two Rivers leaders in September seeking financial records. Later, Sutton and church deacons asked the congregation to remove the plaintiffs from the Donelson church.

Maybe it has something to do with this very bad example.

15 Then they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who were selling and those who were buying in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold doves;

16 and he would not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple.

17 He was teaching and saying, 'Is it not written,
"My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations?" But you have made it a den of robbers.'

18And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.

19And when evening came, Jesus and his disciples went out of the city.
