Jan, take on board? So your opinions are to be taken on board and to h..l with mine. I gotcha. Nice. Christ did not stab or punch the money changers I'm sure. But do you think as He was over turning those tables nobody was bruised? Christ was very careful and took time to make sure all those tables overturned in exactly the right way, hurting no one.LOL! In the mad dash out of the temple, no one was shoved, no one tripped and fell hurting themselves. LOL! Common sense tells me it was not a calmly organized event with out personal injury. It was violent. You know some say spanking your child is violent. Some say smashing a window with a brick is violent. I say overturning table , yelling, and chasing people is violent but can and should be used as Christ proves. Wars are violent and deadly but even God commanded they be fought. This is a result of our fallen nature. A result of sin.
This is so poor as to be laughable, especially in light of Christ's warnings when Peter drew his sword. Also, there may, possibly be some unreported chafing of skin at the temple, but this was a deliberate assasination of an unarmed man. We see that Christ disapproves of attacking an armed man, therefore your comments about the goons on the roof falls flat on it's a***.
