Did Jesus LOVINGLY whip the moneychangers out of the Temple?

Question

If the answer is no why are we so sure he won't be angry at some of the stuff that goes on today?

Answer 1

No. He was justifiably angry.
What makes you think He isn't angry now at the stuff?

Answer 2

Well the story is interpreted differently by different people which is OKAY. My personal opinion of this story is that Jesus loved the moneychangers. He didn't appreciate (he disliked) the decisions that the moneychangers were making. Jesus wanted the moneychangers to love his father (God) and they were selling items using the temple of God as a market. I believe Jesus lovingly whipped the moneychangers out of the Temple because it hurt him to see his creations sinning against his father.

Answer 3

He cast all of the merchandisers out of the temple grounds. Now these merchandisers were crooked. The moneychangers were there to exchange the Roman currency into the temple shekels, because you could not give Roman currency to God. They had a tradition against that. The only offering that you could give to God would be the temple shekel. So these moneychangers were conveniently there in the temple to change your Roman currency for the temple shekel. The only thing is that they were gouging the people. The people knowing that they had to have the temple shekel, these men were charging them absorbent prices for the temple shekel; and thus, they themselves were racking of a part of the profit which they split with the priest, with whom they were in cahoots.

Answer 4

Can you show any similar action by Jesus OUTSIDE the temple?

Did he not prevent men from stoning a prostitute to death?

If you look at all of Jesus's actions, you'll see he spent far more time feeding the hungry, caring for the sick, sticking up for the persecuted, then throwing temper tantrums. What would Jesus spend more time doing today: casting verbal stones at gay people or feeding the poor, hooking up people with free health care (remember Lazarus and the lepers), and sticking up for those who are persecuted? Ask Jesus 'Who is my neighbor?' and see what he has to say.

And let's not forget that Jesus overturning the money tables lead to his arrest, which lead to the crucifiction. If JC doesn't whip the money changers, he doesn't get arrested. No arrest, no crucifiction, no resurrection, no Christianity.

Answer 5

Jesus cast out the moneychangers in the same manner as when one EJECTS DUNG:

And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, - Matthew 21:12.

"cast out" the word translated "out" in English comes from the Greek word "ejkbaivnw".

Strong's Number: 1544

Definition: to cast out, drive out, to send out
with notion of violence to drive out (cast out)
to cast out; of the world, i.e. be deprived of the power and influence he exercises in the world
a thing: excrement from the belly into the sink.

Answer 6

"And the Jews' passover replaced into to hand, and Jesus went as much as Jerusalem. and found interior the temple people who bought oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: And while he had made a deadly disease of small cords, he drove all of them out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' funds, and overthrew the tables; And suggested unto them that bought doves, Take those issues subsequently; make not my Father's abode an abode of merchandise." (John 2:13 - sixteen) "And Jesus went into the temple of God, and solid out all them that bought and purchased interior the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that bought doves, And suggested unto them, it is written, My abode would be called the abode of prayer; yet ye have made it a den of thieves." (Matthew 21:12 - 13) "and that they arrive to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and started to solid out them that bought and purchased interior the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that bought doves; And does not go through that any guy ought to hold any vessel for the time of the temple. And he taught, asserting unto them, Is it not written, My abode would be called of all countries the abode of prayer? yet ye have made it a den of thieves." (Mark 11:15 - 17) "and that they arrive to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and started to solid out them that bought and purchased interior the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that bought doves; "And does not go through that any guy ought to hold any vessel for the time of the temple. And he taught, asserting unto them, Is it not written, My abode would be called of all countries the abode of prayer? yet ye have made it a den of thieves." (Luke 19:40 5 - 40 six) The checklist of Jesus chasing out the moneychangers from the temple could be got here across interior the 4 gospels as quoted above. No the place does it says that Jesus whips a donkey to dying. Jesus loves you. settle for Jesus to be your guy or woman savior and invite him into your lifestyles immediately.

Answer 7

Jesus was angry with the people and he chased them out not whip them literally. Yes God is angry but he is patient with you and me.

Answer 8

anger isnt a sin and many take it as something that is we're christians not buddhist! who said we couldnt be angry God gets angry he destroyed the earth with a flood he didn't do that lovingly he spared noah and his family out of love.

Answer 9

I think he was really agree that the people would disrespect
His Fathers house. there's a time and place for everything,
That 's not the time or the place for what they were doing.

Answer 10

well sometimes if we love someone we have to admonish them, that doesn't mean kill or beat them half to death but sometimes a punishment either monetary or physical or withholding of privileges works and saves that person from a worse fate if they are not taught a lesson.
