I have never got on here and said "you are wrong" to anybody.
But I deserve the same thing.
Its not about who is right and who is wrong...its about respect for one anothers beliefs and conviction and interpretation of scripture.
Tell me,
Did Jesus "stoop" to their level when he went and saw what they were doing in the temple....did he just say "you bad boys...stop it you might offend someone that comes to pray"
NO SIR!
He reminded them that it was a house of prayer and got quite INDIGNANT!
And what we today would call ticked off.......
Called them an "Brood of Vipers" ....."Full of dead mans bones and All of corruption".
Jesus called it like he saw it....and I reserve the right to do the same.
Its not always "stooping and making two wrongs make a right"...its having enough of the religious nonsense and realizing that its time to chase out those that are trying to change the house of prayer into a shrine of man made junk!
And yes...that ticks me off, so excuse me while I run out the money changers!!!!

Rightous indignation is no excuse for boorish behaviour. I think the one incident of Jesus appearing angry and rebuking the moneychangers is far from the circumstances of which we are speaking about your posting.
Your post just shows that people can justify anything.
You and I probably share a very similar opinion of WH. My personal nickname for him cannot be posted here or I would be banned.
However as adults we learn to edit the first stream of thoughts that go through our minds into civil discourse. The words can still be strong, can still be a rebuke, but they should not be childish and insulting. Yours were.
