He was angry because the people were doing evil against him and back then whips weren't illegal. Jesus never sinned once in his life he was torchered and beaten and when he was on the cross he was torchered even more. And as for the aroma of dead animals God found the aroma pleasing just like humans do we cook meat on the grill and we like the smell it smells good. Jesus is a man worthy of praise and glorification not a man to hate I mean even when we did him wrong by killing him he still loved us tremendously and never ever once hated us he just got mad at us.

He was clearing ...Jesus was NOT assaulting anyone. He was clearing the temple from all the corruptors who used the temple as a marketplace to buy and sell cattle for their own benefit. He made a whip to chase them ALL away. The temple was the "House of Prayer" converted to a "Den of Thieves" as Jesus called it. He was defending His Father's Holy House. Jesus had every right to be angry for wrongdoing. In today's world, the religious leaders continue to corrupt the church and continue to convert it to a "Den of Thieves" by false prophets giving false teachings. Would you be angry if you gave your children only good examples and taught them to do only what is righteous. After you caring for them, healing them when their sick and opening their eyes to God's commandments to live by and they still DO NOT OBEY. After all you have taught them and done for them, you come home and find them disrespecting your home by smoking weed, doing drugs, selling drugs and are making lots of money? ( This is just an example) Would you be angry? Of course you would. Jesus was human when he walked the earth. He had human emotions. Please do not judge Him. He is the reason our sins were forgiven. Pointing out scriptures and reading them does not give you the understanding you need. You cannot open a book and read a couple of lines in a few chapters and understand what the book is all about. You would need to read the entire book to understand it. We have a lifetime to read 1 book which is the "Word of God". Not many people will study it and understand it as God intends us to. Jesus warned the unbelieving people- John 8:45-47 So when I tell the truth, you just naturally don't believe me. Which one of you can truthfully accuse me of sin? Anyone whose Father is God, listens gladly to the word of God. Since you don't, it proves you are NOT God's children. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5246253500962288290.post-62792926158171163192013-08-28T01:39:53.050-04:002013-08-28T01:39:53.050-04:00TIL Jesus was kind of a bad-assTIL Jesus was kind of a bad-assAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5246253500962288290.post-19055625919851604332013-08-28T01:39:42.909-04:002013-08-28T01:39:42.909-04:00TIL Jesus was kind of a bad-assTIL Jesus was kind of a bad-assAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5246253500962288290.post-13047807353203241922013-08-28T01:38:59.495-04:002013-08-28T01:38:59.495-04:00TIL Jesus was kind of a bad-assTIL Jesus was kind of a bad-assAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5246253500962288290.post-1528566055139910962013-04-03T06:48:37.722-04:002013-04-03T06:48:37.722-04:00I feel like I should add something here.
"Re...I feel like I should add something here.<br /><br />"Read through the Old Testament and then tell me that violence is can never be justified(eg. Exodus 15:3 "The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.")."<br /><br />Just because something is in the OT does not mean it is justified. When is god justified in using violence? Should not violence be a last resort? And, should not a perfect god with omni-max powers be able to avoid having to go to the last resort? By claiming that god had to use violence, you're essentially saying that god is not omni-max. The violence of the OT is not justified.GCThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09744295225958022872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5246253500962288290.post-7313614788232727002013-04-02T07:02:27.637-04:002013-04-02T07:02:27.637-04:00"Read through the Old Testament and then tell..."Read through the Old Testament and then tell me that violence is can never be justified(eg. Exodus 15:3 "The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.")."<br /><br />Oh, the OT is full of violence, which I've amply shown in other posts. Here's the problem for you though: Jesus was supposed to be peaceful and sinless. You're claiming that he was in the right to fashion a whip and attack people when he clearly was not. This is especially true since the Pharisees explained to him why it was necessary to have money traders in the temple, which was an OT custom.<br /><br />You can't have it both ways though. You can't call Jesus peaceful and sinless and then claim that his violent outbursts were OK because he is the god of war.<br /><br />"The fact is that man is flawed. We are corrupted by sin and so are all of our attributes such as anger, love, jealousy, kindness and so on. They are all flawed. God has a perfect jealousy and love and anger and so on."<br /><br />These are not facts. And, what does it mean to say that god has perfect jealousy, love, anger, etc? Jealousy is usually seen as a flaw. Again, you can't have it both ways.<br /><br />"Deuteronomy 6:15 (For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth."<br /><br />Make him angry and he'll destroy you. Wow, such a loving god you've got there. I can see why people would want to worship such a vengeful tyrant. Oh wait, no I can't.<br /><br />"To think that our minds can even begin to comprehend it is lunacy."<br /><br />Yet, you're claiming that you can. You're claiming you understand well enough to say that it's OK. Again, you can't have it both ways.<br /><br />"Mankind deserves nothing more than spending all of eternity burning in Hell."<br /><br />This is hateful rhetoric. So much for Xianity being all about love. Why do you hate your fellow human beings so much?<br /><br />"The LORD of the universe created us and wants us to give Him glory and honour but we betray him time and time again."<br /><br />So, he created us so that we can glorify him? Why would a perfect being need such glorification? Why would a perfect being need us to honor him? Why would a perfect being need to be so selfish as to create a race of beings that he would later torture for eternity just for his own amusement and enjoyment? Your god is a monster.<br /><br />And, by what right would god have to create us destined for hell and then to kill us as he wished? You've taken all the responsibilities that god should take on as our "father" and abdicated them in some medieval might makes right sense. When people have children, they take on a moral obligation to treat those children well. Their act of creating a sentient human being means that they've taken on responsibility to go above and beyond. Your god, however, is allowed the opposite according to you. This is special pleading and not a moral stance in the slightest.<br /><br />"I suggest studying the Bible a tad before making such statements."<br /><br />This is the funniest part though. Don't assume that because I disagree with you that I must necessarily be ignorant of the OT. A recent study showed the atheists are more knowledgeable than Xians on the Bible and Xianity. Additionally, I've shown pretty good knowledge of the OT in other posts on this site. Lastly, just because there is tons of violence in the OT does not mean it is justified. The flood was not justified. Soddom and Gommorah was not justified. The genocides of whole tribes of people was not justified. You've stepped into this and claimed all those things were not only right, but good. You're defending genocide, slavery, rape, and a whole host of other things with your comments.

I'm only going to address...Well said Tigerboy.<br /><br />I'm only going to address a couple things.<br /><br />First, the idea that atheists do not believe only because they were abused is a bigoted stereotype, which is simply not true. It has more to do with religions simply lacking in substance and being wrong.<br /><br />Secondly, I find that most churches teach an incomplete understanding of their religion, and they do this on purpose. We do have studies that show that atheists generally have a better understanding of religion than most theists.<br /><br />Third, the idea that the church isn't perfect is very true, but the implication is that religion is not to blame for this. We can not, however, absolve religion of all blame because religion relies upon faith, and faith is not a reliable method of knowing about the world. Faith leads to all kinds of absurdities and atrocities and is the a contributor to those imperfections of the church that you admit exist.GCThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09744295225958022872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5246253500962288290.post-33385867367582421702012-03-08T16:24:58.112-05:002012-03-08T16:24:58.112-05:00I realize you were addressing GCT, not me, but per...I realize you were addressing GCT, not me, but personally, I am no more "fixated" on my "anger at God" than I am fixated on my anger at the Easter Bunny.

I do have better arguments than you, and you should care about that. What you've just admitted to me is that you don't care what the evidence is, you're going to believe what you believe no matter what.
