In the Bible Jesus attacked two people outside of a temple (I wish I could find the test where it mentions this). This is against Jesus's own teachings ("turn the other cheek" and the like). Look at Matthew 7:2-7:3 to see what Jesus said about judging people. Was what Jesus did (attacking the men) a sin?
I personally think so. And if not a sin then it was at least hypocritical of his own teachings. If somoene can find the text where Jesus attacks the men then that would be great! Also, if some one thinks that it is not even against his teachings (much less a sin), then please give textual reference.

He is not a sinner. He was cleansing the temple of the people who were perverting the use of the House of God.

Oh for Heaven's sake. Jesus did not "attack the men". He turned over the money changer's tables and let some dove or pigeons go. There is no place in the Bible that says being upset about the blasphemy of God and hypocritical use of His name is anything resembling a sin. In fact, people are often called to serve the Lord in just that way... even to war against the enemies of God. Jesus was without sin though tempted in every way as we are. READ the Bible.

Jesus was not a sinner.
The incident you speak of was prophesied in Psalms 69:9 Passion for your house burns within me, so those who insult you are also insulting me.
In the Temple area he saw merchants selling cattle, sheep, and doves for sacrifices; and he saw money changers behind their counters.
Jesus made a whip from some ropes and chased them all out of the Temple. He drove out the sheep and oxen, scattered the money changers' coins over the floor, and turned over their tables. Then, going over to the people who sold doves, he told them, "Get these things out of here. Don't turn my Father's house into a marketplace!"
Then his disciples remembered this prophecy from the Scriptures: "Passion for God's house burns within me." John 2:14-17
The question is of authority. He is the judge who is coming to judge the living and the dead, not to offer salvation as was his first coming.
Turning the other cheek is non-retribution, not responding with like assault. Do you practice this teaching?

The men who were selling mite infested doves at the Temple, and who were charging unjust fees to change money were doing the sinning.
Jesus, who is God, was simply meting out the just punishment for their sins.
God, due to his nature as the Supreme Being, is not capable of commiting sin.

Aw, honey, God gets angry. People don't like to think about that but it is true.
You can be angry and not sin, that is righteous anger, and that is what Jesus was feeling.
Eph 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

Jesus was human, and he lost his temper. He is/was the only person who is without sin.

No..Jesus is no sinner. Anger is not a sin. It's how you react when you are angry. I can get really angry at my brother(this is not a sin). And i hit him(This is a sin) so you see, getting angry is not really a sin. (:
