oh, i forgot about the fig tree incident.

I suspect that you may be referring to the Fig Tree incident. I have always found that rather out 'character' too.
I have read all kinds of 'explanations' for it, and none have seemed quite 'right', to me. I think it may be a momentary 'slip' that reveals much, if one can spot the context.
I guess he did give a fig, after all.

He'll snap again when He returns to repay sinners for their wickedness. Just like He did by evicting Adam & Eve, before the flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, temple cleansing with a whip, Annanias and Sapphira for cheating on their offering, Herod with a worm-attack, etc.
God is a god of justice, and although He bears long with our foolishness, the day is coming, because he will surely "not aquit the guilty."
Heaven is a wonderful place, and you will want to be there. All is peace and happiness, and you will not dwell on God's judgments against the wicked because YOU KNOW THAT EVERYONE HAD THE SAME CHANCE TO ACCEPT GOD'S STANDARDS, thus, by their own choices they have, you might say, "destroyed themselves."
God's plan of redemption is revealed in a hidden Bible code, sealed "until the end of the days" at www.revelado.org/revealed.htm
It should explain the Messiah's role for you.
Blessings and AGAPE, One-Way

You should be more specific because, nobody knows what you are talking about!
Jesus saved a prostitue from stoning, Cast demons out of people, gave a blind man sight, returned a man from death... Perhaps you are speaking of the time he was in the market and condemned the practices the people there were conducting? But like I said, you should try to be more specific with your question.

His Fathers house was and 'is" a place for us to go to find comfort. It should not be used for money transactions or fun and games like bingo , bake sales etc. We must remember someone may be in deep distress coming to church needing healing and comfort. Would you want to find someone playing bingo or someone to give you help? It needs to be sacred grounds.

I think He was setting an example for future generations to follow, but apparently the modern "church" didn't read that particular event, what with playing bingo, church bazarres, auctions, "yard" sales and what not going on in "His house" all over the nation.

hmmm... i assume you are talking about the money changers in the temple.... or maybe when he wept... or when he cried out "why hast thou forsaken me"... I am sure he had a couple of "snapping" moments during his missing teen years and early adulthood. Hormones are a pain.
Uhhhhmmm... I would say because we all snap at some point.

The only time Jesus got upset was when he entered the temple to see the temple desecrated by the selling of livestock for offering, money changers and tax collectors doing business inside the temple. The temple is a place of Holiness, not for some idealist to make money off those who come to worship. Please read the Bible and get your facts straight, being blind to the truth hurts you well being.

Yes, isn't this interesting. He was human, not God. I wish we knew more about this incredible person, what a shame the early church edited so much out of his story. Have we missed his greatest teachings I wonder?

If I only snapped once in a lifetime- that was worth noting

Which one time? The driving of the money-changers out of the temple?
We have one recorded instance of his righteous indignation. There may have been others that went unrecorded.
