If someone were to try to hurt my child, my reaction would be quite violent. but in general, as a matter of my every day life, i am not a violent person.
would that not apply to Christ? were the money changers not doing violence to the Children of God? Was his action a protection?

If that's the case, does a pastor have the right to punch someone in church who is disrespecting the sanctuary, by say - chewing gum, or talking thru his sermon? What about a person who comes into the sanctuary drunk? What about someone who steals money from the Sunday School offering plate?
And, understand, I'm just opening discussion on what could be perceived as Biblical paradox.
