Please help me out here: What are temple offerings and how were the jews selling them?
Based off my church this is what was going on
- Jews were going with their own offerings to the tabernacle for sacrifice
- The head priests would buy the sacrifices given at 50 cents to the dollar stating the offerings were worthless because they were not in the best condition
- Said priests would sell them a different offering which was actually cheaper, and keep the more expensive offerings for themselves
- They would then resell the offerings that they didn't want back to the plebs for 60-70 cents to the dollar
Generally, it was a massive ponzi scheme, and Jesus wasnt having it
