kat - somebody's been hitting their copy of Grudem's Systematic Theology pretty hard ;-)
I agree with your assessment of the WWJD thing. What I find pretty funny, in a cycnical sort of way, about the Church in America is their willingness to climb onto any trend that gathers up enough steam to garner secular attention (Prayer of Jabez, WWJD, Left Behind series, etc.) without paying much mind to the theology or doctrine behind the trend. The desire to be culturally relevant causes many, I think, to set such considerations on a lower level.
BTW, sorry for attempting to play professor on the Temple thing. I get sensitive toward any perceived attempt to "socialize" the revolutionary intent of Jesus, to make it a money thing, a class warfare thing, an egalitarian thing, instead of a messianic headship, Kingdom of God, new covenant thing.
