What did Jesus say and do to the money changers at the Temple? He literally wipped their *sses! Its the ONLY account in the Gospel of Jesus losing his mind!
Jesus Cleanses the Temple
14 In the temple courts He found men selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and money changers seated at their tables.
15
So He made a whip out of cords and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle. He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.
16 To those selling doves He said, Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Fathers house into a marketplace!

I have a question for everyone: Do you think presenting this coin to a church audience would violate this scripture, or any scripture? For instance, Catholic Mass has collections for operations and then a second collection for a cause. I have also been to churches which do fundraising in the foyer of the church, or sales of items after church inside the church. Do you think it would be against scripture to do PR for this coin around a church congregation? Just looking for everyone's input on this.
Jesus cleanses the Temple is a good topic. First of all, I feel the greatest sin in this case is disregarding something that is Holy, The Temple, and conducting unholy business in his house. To Jesus, I bet it feels like they misused the temple as a gathering place, reaped free advertising benefits (because those in the town know where to go to trade), yelled out bids for things (reducing the use of the temple to something unholy), and in general took his Temples dedication in vain.
Yes, I do think we should take this seriously, and create a document that puts up walls in BiblePay to keep what is holy holy, to show respect for Gods Kingdom. We should ensure we pass the litmus test - and I believe we do otherwise I would have given up earlier - that we provide a currency for Christians to exchange value while biblically tithing 10% of the top to the orphans. We dont have any intention of doing unholy things with it, or setting up unholy practices.
The small part of this, the question about
conducting business inside a church, I think the answer is the applicaton of biblepay during church hours can be promoted as : educational materials (buying bibles), extending our community to more Christians, using it as a currency to help others in need in the church (IE the one who cant pay their rent maybe receives it in biblepay), and of course our core function: helping orphans, by extending our community those that pick it up might invest a sliver of their retirement account in biblepay, thereby helping orphans now, with the expectation that in 10 years the retirement account can be withdrawn and help themselves.
If we create a pamphlet with our Dos and Donts that
keep us holy, and we gave that to the priest, then he/she would realize this is intended to be done off hours, not during church, etc.
there is nothing 'holy' about biblepay or masternodes marketed as 'sanctuaries'. Nor is bible pay a church. a couple pages earlier they were being considered to be called 'god' nodes. eh???
i suggest you do a Bible study on 'sanctuaries'. I dont mean google the term, read a bunch of mainstream articles, then form your opinion on it and call it day. I mean take the Bible out, go to a website that has a concordance and read every single verse, story, and account of it. And pray about it. On your knees type prayer. Understand how God sees them. God will give you wisdom and discernment to understand not to commingle money with a sacred place of refuge.
I mean lets get real here. what does a masternode actually do that one can label it a sanctuary? it holds a cache of units and handles transactions. its a by definition a money changer - Jesus exactly lays out his view on not to perform money changing enterprises inside a sanctuary.
If you want God's favor, do not call it a sanctuary.
