Did Jesus have an issue with money?

nope I sure dont think the common purse was carried by someone that was really on his side here given certain betrayals by kisses that took place. Judas was clearly an example of what not to do. He sure was a disciple just like Cain was able brother. I also don't think this is one of those discussions where we can flee to the safety of Hebrew translation means yada yada either I have researched this for over 8 years it means graven image that has value or is revered.
 
i started out trying to prove this wrong myself sorry but we are all guilty of sin.
 
it all makes even more sense when we come to see that Romans killed early Christians not so much because of Jesus but because some of their beliefs were a potential threat to the monetary system that was slowly but surely enslaving the world.
 
the same monetary system eventually even turned into the church that removed Saturday as the Sabbath, let people worship statues in the form of Mary. They dont want you free they never did.
 
and finally rule the world and say that you can only have one wife, and enforce these rulings by forcing you to serve the graven image.
 
thanks I buy them at home depot then put them on the back of a box fan to pull dust out of the air with out having to buy an expensive air purifier. It helps to conserve my graven images for when I need them most. Like when it comes time to pay my taxes so homosexuals can legally marry. Or in case I have a child with a wife and she leaves and i have to pay child support, because we all know money raises children not fathers right.
 
and Steve Jesus would not have told his disciples to do any wrong why did he tell Judas to go and do what he was to do quickly. Even though it was clearly wrong. I admit yes it did result in our salvation. Yes my theory about early Christians being killed due to monetary reasons then that same system taking over the world and hiding the truth to control you is little out there maybe. But a graven image is a graven image no matter how big or how small. And the Hebrew definition does matter but no it does not change the fact that it is a graven image that remains the same it is of value, is served, is worshiped, and has control over your life. That is what idols do. Its not the idol that has authority but the people who make the idol that make its rules to use it worship it or to serve it. I have nothing but respect for people here, but it is what it is.
 
If quarters had an image of Satan sacrificing a small child on them people would flip, how would inscribing "in god we trust" fix it. The man whose graven image is on the plates for the us 20's final words were "I killed the bank" as he fought debt based enslavement and fiat currency.
 
jesus had an issue with graven images,because his father did as well when the commandments were given moses who then came down that mountain destroyed a golden calf statue which ironically stood for money as cows and livestock were the medium of exchange in that time.
 
here is a video that fairly well describes some of these issues with money.
 
unlike the the painting in the video it is never recorded that jesus held the coin he asked them to show him. its not present.
 
and a printed dollar is made from a plate that is engraven so its a copy of a graven images.
 
Perhaps I'm missing something. Where in scripture are we commanded not to touch a graven image?
 
were not jesus was not to touch unclean things. were not to serve graven images.
 
he had to be a perfect sacrifice
but he did touch the sick to heal them. and prehaps the dead to do a miracle
 
My use of money does not equate to worshiping it. I only worship God. I am not sinning by using money.
 
I also don't agree that the "engraved image" on money is the same thing spoken against in scripture.
