The point is, as revealed in the above verses. that Jesus knows those who belong to Him and who His followers really are, as opposed to those who may claim to do things in His name, yet He does know or consider them as His (Christians).
I use more than just opinion.
I think the dude needs to worry about his mouth around his kids if he's going to worry about anything.
So, what about that time Jesus utterly snapped?
Please clarify what exactly you mean when you say "insane.'
Jesus did not "snap". God does not snap. Jesus expressed valid outrage at the religious hypocrites using the temple of God to fleece the people.
I'm not sure what you mean, but I'm sure Jesus knows and decides correctly.
I don't know what to say.
He definitely overturned their tables, probably their seats as well, and according to John he "made a scourge of cords" and he even went as far to dump their money on the table.
It is your opinion that He snapped and you are entitled to that, but since God is holy, just, and perfect in righteousness, then in my view God cannot snap...impossible.
It doesn't matter the word. He acted out of anger.
He was following the Jewish Passover practice of throwing the leaven (in this case, price raisers instead of bread raisers) out of the house prior to the actual sacrificial meal.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure the traditional practices and rituals don't include whips, overturning tables and chairs, and driving out human and animal alike. If the coins were thrown out of the house, it's probably because he actually threw them, but according to scripture he just scattered it.
According to the scriptures, God only acts in righteous, Self-controlled anger which is always just, unlike human anger which is often motivated with self-centered cruelty.
So, what is the fundamental key difference in the morality of when humans say to kill the men of a village and take the women as slaves compared to the times when god decreed to the prophets that the Hebrews go kill the men of a village and take the women as slaves?
In my view it is not subjective, but objective instruction from God in the scriptures on proper behavior or rather the improper behavior of spewing out profanities.
You know this is an entirely different subject from the OP which should be another thread, which BTW has been the subject of a lot of threads already, which I have addressed on numerous occasions.
Gathering up the leaven in the house and tossing it out is admittedly easier than tossing people out. (Perhaps that is why the ritual is designed as such? This is, after all designed to make the killing angel pass over the house instead of killing people in the house.
