Which 'holy' bible character once beat up people in church with a whip?

Question

Wicked answer, Selnyck, I love it. What happened to all that dough?

Answer 1

I wonder what he did with the money after he over turned the tables and kicked them out.... old school robbery? Jesus and his apostles roll in all tough and say "Out... leave the money though."

Answer 2

Are you referring to the account when Jesus made the people who were selling animals for sacrifice inside the temple at
John 2:13-17?

The parallel scriptures of this account are: Matthew 21:12, 13, Mark 11:15-17, Luke 19:45-46

Upon re-reading all of these, I found that it did NOT say that he actually hit anyone with the whip. Whips are also used for driving animals, without necessarily touching the animal - the "crack" will do the trick, in most cases.

These people were breaking the very law that they professed to abide by (and were providing the animals for), since they were not allowed to sell these animals within the temple itself. Even the sacrifices were done in the courtyard of the temple, NOT within the temple walls.

Answer 3

when Jesus ran the money changers from the temple....

Before I say all this yes i know im preaching.... and people can give me all the thumbs down they want... or report me all they want it wont hurt my feelings one bit nor change my mind one bit.
Now with that being said.... It did not occur "in the church" as you put it... it actually occured in the courtyard surrounding the temple where the money changers had set up tables to exchange foriegn currency for the currency used to make offerings in the temple ( for a nominal fee of course). And also sellers of animals for sacrafice.
What is wrong with that you might ask?? For one thing the entire purpose of the sacrafice was to offer your very best to God and ask his forgivness. It was supposed to be the very best of your stock.... whether that be the best part of your crop or the best animal you had raised. Just buying something from a vendor and taking it in to sacafice defeated the purpose of the offering to begin with. Funny.... millions of people are guilty of the same thing today.... "i wont put any effort into serving God... i wont do anything other that what i feel i Have to do to get by".
Yes Jesus did fashion a sourge from cords to drive them from the temple.... now I dont know that he used it on the people... he may have only used it on the oxen and cattle to move them.... but I dont know that he didnt whack a few of the people .... the scriptures dont say... they just say he used it to "drive them from the temple".
John 2:15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;

God bless you will be keeping you in prayer

Answer 4

I think you have to read Mark chapter 11 verses 15 to 19. It states that He drove them out. In another Gospel He made a whip out of cords, but it never stated that He hit or beat anyone with them. He moved them out like one would move sheep. May the Lord bless you and keep you. May He let the light of face shine upon you.

Answer 5

No one........if you are thinking of Jesus he did not beat up anyone. He turned over tables and drove out the people. He did not hit them.

Matthew 21:12

Mark 11:15

John 2:15

Answer 6

That was Jesus in the temple in Jerusalem. He was outraged that there would be money changers in the house of God and drove them out. For this among other things he earned the anger of the priests and any others who profited from these activities.

Answer 7

Um, none.

You may be referring to when Jesus cleansed the temple, but there was no whipping or beating up involved, just turning over of tables and knocking stuff over.

Answer 8

Sounds like Catwoman.

Answer 9

No character in the bible ever beat up people in church with a whip. Jesus over turned tables and drove people out with a whip. Following are all mentions of this event in the Gospels, none of which says anything about beating people:

[John 2:14] He found in the temple area those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, as well as the money-changers seated there.
[John 2:15] He made a whip out of cords and drove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and oxen, and spilled the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables,
[John 2:16] and to those who sold doves he said, "Take these out of here, and stop making my Father's house a marketplace."
[John 2:17] His disciples recalled the words of scripture, "Zeal for your house will consume me."

[Mat 21:12] Jesus entered the temple area and drove out all those engaged in selling and buying there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves.
[Mat 21:13] And he said to them, "It is written: 'My house shall be a house of prayer,' but you are making it a den of thieves."

[Mark 11:15] They came to Jerusalem, and on entering the temple area he began to drive out those selling and buying there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves.
[Mark 11:16] He did not permit anyone to carry anything through the temple area.
[Mark 11:17] Then he taught them saying, "Is it not written: 'My house shall be called a house of prayerfor all peoples'? But you have made it a den of thieves."

[Luke 19:45] Then Jesus entered the temple area and proceeded to drive out those who were selling things,
[Luke 19:46] saying to them, "It is written, 'My house shall be a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves.'"
