Would Jesus Have Taken Isagenix?

In between his primary mission, would he have been a Product Evangelist?

Would he have respected those who found and run MLM programs and companies?

When I first heard this question I thought it was a joke...now I think it helps me step back, look at the bigger picture, and put things into greater prespective.

Products marketed via Pyramid Marketing (Schemes) remind me of cults...

They remind me of the second commandment ""Though Shalt not Worthip False Idols" like the Golden Calf..."

They Remind me of Exodus, starting with Exodus 32:4:

GOD'S WORD® Translation (©1995)
After he had worked on the gold with a tool, he made it into a statue of a calf. Then they said, "Israel, here are your gods who brought you out of Egypt."
...
GOD'S WORD® Translation (©1995)
Early the next day the people sacrificed burnt offerings and brought fellowship offerings. Afterward, they sat down to a feast, which turned into an orgy.

...
New American Standard Bible (©1995)
Then the LORD spoke to Moses, "Go down at once, for your people, whom you brought up from the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves.



GOD'S WORD® Translation (©1995)
They've already turned from the way I commanded them to live. They've made a statue of a calf for themselves. They've bowed down to it and offered sacrifices to it.,,,



GOD'S WORD® Translation (©1995)
The LORD added, "I've seen these people, and they are impossible to deal with.



GOD'S WORD® Translation (©1995)
Moses turned and went down the mountain carrying the two tablets with God's words. They were written on both sides, front and back.



GOD'S WORD® Translation (©1995)
The tablets were the work of God, and the writing was God's writing inscribed on the tablets.
