Does anyone think/believe Jesus lost his Temper?

Question

Meaning did he lose his cool and collective manerizems.
Hint-He turned over tables at the temple

Answer 1

Jesus has both human and divine nature. So when HE lost his temper, that's showing human nature. he can also get angry because HE was born of a human being.

Answer 2

No, I don't think He lost His temper. He did not act out in an uncontrollable fit of rage. Jesus actually cleared out the temple twice; once at the beginning of His ministry (John 2:14-16) and once at the end of His ministry (Matthew 21, verses 12 and 13 as well as the other synoptic gospels).

When you look at the account told in the book of John, Jesus saw what was going on, sat down and made a whip out of cords, and then went in and cleaned house. His was a righteous wrath, a term you are going to hear a lot in response to this, but it was also a considered and measured wrath. Jesus was and is God; what do you think would happen if He really lost His temper? Just a few overturned tables and flustered merchants? I think not

Answer 3

I'm wondering about the difference between losing his temper and where it is mentioned that Anger is a sin in the bible.

Here's how I explain the difference. Jesus got very angry at the people for desecrating his father's house and since this was the 2nd time he was this happening, he decided to get rid of the people from the temple. It was his way of trying nto resolve an issue since just speaking with them didn't do the trick. He wanted them to understand just how distasteful this was to have people profiting from God's holy place.

Where this differs from anger being a sin in the Bible is that with Anger often comes resentment and anger can consume a person. It's why the Bible says not to let the sun go down on your anger and if you have a difference with another person to reconcile with that person before you offer your gifts at the altar. The Anger specifically is wrong when a person carries a grudge.

I don't see that Jesus carried a Grudge against the people he overturned in the temple. When he went before the Sanhedrin in the trial (the day before he was crucified) he could have spoken out against them in his defense, but he showed love for them right until the end.

Answer 4

No!! He was 100% in control at all times even when He cast out the money changers, turned over the tables, set the animals free, and said "My Fathers house is to be a house of prayer."
It is called righteous anger, not sin.

Answer 5

Jesus was not a little beneficent lamb who was all placid all the time. Jesus, this one time, when the money changers had set up shop in the temple, was furious.

How many people is Jesus? Jesus is one man. How many people were in the temple, changing money? “The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the temple he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables. Making a whip of cords, he drove all of them out of the temple, both the sheep and the cattle. He also poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. He told those who were selling the doves, ‘Take these things out of here! Stop making my Father’s house a marketplace!’” (John 2:13-16). So, we have many people selling cattle, sheep, and doves; in addition we have the money changers. And in opposition to this herd of people, there is one man.

Tell me the level of fury that one man must exhibit in order to cause a whole mass of men to flee a building. Then tell me that Jesus was always this meek and mild little turtledove.

Jesus got angry about things. And at least once—this one time here—he got so angry as to be a massive force. No one tried to apprehend him, restrain him, or stop him. No one argued with him. They turned on their heels and fled. Because what they saw was an anger that they could neither stop nor restrain. And they were afraid.

Where is Jesus’ mercy here? Where is his loving-kindness? Why has he armed himself with a whip of cords? Why don’t we see more paintings and statues of Jesus thusly armed and enraged?

Some people don’t like to think about it. It blows their whole image of who Christ is.

But, how are we to respond to this moment in Jesus’ life? What is he saying, through his actions, about love and tolerance and peace? Is he saying anything about these things at all?

What he is saying is that there are things that are unacceptable. There are things about which God does get angry. There are lines that one does not cross without facing the wrath of God. The line, in this case, is bringing what is explicitly of the world into the very house of God, and thinking that it’s all well and good to do so.

Answer 6

Well, yes. The point of Jesus was that he was human, that is, he was like you and me. Humans lose their temper. Also, Jesus was a child, too, and what child doesn't lose their temper sometimes?

Answer 7

Yes Jesus did get angry, because the money changers where using the Temple, which was to be a house of prayer, as a place of making money for themselves.

It's okay to get angry as long as we are angry against sin. If we are angry against eachother without fault, it is the same as murder, and it is a sin.

Answer 8

There is a difference between sinful anger and righteous anger.
If you were God how would you deal with people making the place you are to be worshipped in a dishonest money making place. I think you would respond in righteous anger.
Righteous anger is not a sin. However, sinful anger is a sin.

Answer 9

Jesus was no child you are stupid evil and the likes of those he opposed I am sick of you play your cards and let yourself go on the lord is a lion and you liken him to a scapegoat or lamb meekly accepting fools if you want to that is your week ness and that is called self righteousness not being right as Jesus was

Answer 10

The answer would have to be no. The Bible states, "Be ye angry and sin not." There is a difference between choosing to be angry and flying off the handle. I believe Jesus CHOSE to be angry and he knew what He was doing and how He was going to handle the situation. After all, Jesus was perfect, he never sinned. Jesus was all man and all God at the same time.

Answer 11

He did lose his temper, but it was righteous wrath. The moneylenders were usurping the customers into buying their products. Elsewhere in the Bible it says that usury is wrong. He did not, however, sin in His anger.
