To me it seems he was most angry at money changers in the temple and self righteous hypocrite religious leaders. He defended the prostitute and told the robber he'd see him in heaven.
So why do so many Chrustians choose abortion and gays as their top 2 issues??? I guess if they chose greed and hypocrisy it wouldn't be as interesting??? Or they might have to point at themselves more???
Don't you think every time a preacher talks against homosexuals, an image pops in the minds of the children in the church??? Aren't you instructed to keep your minds on that which is good and pure, etc.???

I have always said there is an uncanny parallel between the fundamental Christians and the Pharisees.

I agree about the money changers, He said they had made Gods house a den of thieves. The reason speak so much about homosexuals on here is that we are constantly being asked questions about the subject. I think it may be a wearing down process, if you ask enough times, the answer will change. Gods word never changes. Have a nice day.

True Christians see quite clearly the hypocrisy in religion. The bible identifies Christendom today as Babylon the Great (Revelation Ch. 17) read it and see if you can see the likeness. Revelation 18 c v 4 says "Get out of her, my people, if you do not want to share in her sins, and if you do not want to receive part of her plagues." Modern Christianity is filled with hypocrisy and blasphemy and you can be sure Jesus is angry about that but he prophesied that this would happen in Mathew Ch. 7 v 22, 23. He said "Many will say to me in that day. Lord, Lord, did we not prophecy in your namee, and expel demons in you nam, and perform many powerful works in your name? And yet then I will confess to them; I never knew you. Get away from me you workers of lawlessness." The apostle Paul said in Acts 20 v 30 that "from among you yourselves men will rise and speak twisted things,". Modern Christendom is filled with men who speak twisted things. It will not last for Christ promised that Babylon The Great will receive its reckoning in Revelation 18 and pay for its hypocrisy and greed.

The 1st thing that comes to mind, is the money changers. And those that wanted to stone a prostitute. "For ALL of sinned a come short of the glory of God".

Jesus was never angry without being in justice. He was upset about the disobedience of christians. As christians its our duty to stand up to what the bible says is wrong. By the way how is it that you know the majority of christians have those as their top issues.

We are to teach and preach the whole bible not just parts of it. We are not just to teach what Jesus got the most angry at. Teaching and preaching God's word its going to affend someone. Sometimes it even steps on us Christians toes. We are to teach about the love and the sin and the sinner and salvation.
