Again, it is NOT about using the pronoun "I". It is about using your own opinions instead of God's Word. Why not just list your scriptures? That is what is repeatedly being asked for.
Did you even read what I had posted?
I did post scripture. I then said what I believed that scripture to be saying.
You also posted scripture. You said Paul was saying something else when in reality, he wasn't saying that, but it was what you believed him to be saying. Of course, the difference in your post and mine is that you just said Paul was saying it instead of saying 'I believe Paul was saying it'.
There is more to providing for people other than giving them money. The Bible makes no such claim as you believe it to be doing.

Brandishing a weapon (including a whip) would be perceived as a threat... otherwise why would anyone pay attention to it?
Otherwise, why didn't he stand in the middle of the temple with a wet noodle whispering for everyone to please leave? I imagine that would have been effective...
How about BRANDISHING the veal (shaved?) pigeon legs of yours?
Wet noodle? Do you mean your...legs?

What happens to them if they do not do what He wants?
Does He make them....shave their leg?

Okay, then PLEASE list--for all of us to read--all your scriptures. I am still waiting to see them.

Didn't Jesus curse a fig tree just because it didn't have figs? Sounds like he had a temper to me.
Because it didn't have hair on it's legs?

DividedThigh would clearly be a man's name... because that means he wears pants...
Wears pants to...cover smooth legs?

My departure was delayed until tomorrow due to time and wheather. Now to the above statement:
Do you guys even study?? WHERE DOES IT SAY JESUS BEAT THE MONEY-CHANGERS?? UNREAL!
Look at what IT DOES say:
(John 2:15 KJV) And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
(John 2:15 ALT) And having made a whip out of small cords, He cast out all [of them] out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen. And He poured out the coins of the money changers, and He overturned the tables.
(John 2:15 AMP) And having made a lash (a whip) of cords, He drove them all out of the temple [enclosure]--both the sheep and the oxen--spilling and scattering the brokers' money and upsetting and tossing around their trays (their stands).
Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Of small cords - This whip was made as an emblem of authority, and also for the purpose of driving from the temple the cattle which had been brought there for sale. There is no evidence that he used any violence to the men engaged in that unhallowed traffic. The original word implies that these “cords” were made of twisted “rushes” or “reeds” - probably the ancient material for making ropes.
Robertson's Word Pictures
Cast out (exebalen). Second aorist active indicative of ekballō. It is not said that Jesus smote the sheep and oxen (note te kai, both and), for a flourish of the scourge would answer.
John Wesley's Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible Joh 2:15 - Having made a scourge of rushes - (Which were strewed on the ground,) he drove all out of the temple, (that is, the court of it,) both the sheep and the oxen - Though it does not appear that he struck even them; and much less, any of the men. But a terror from God, it is evident, fell upon them.
Even if Jesus did use this whip to drive out the money-changes as well, there is NO WORD that He ever struck--or as you implied--beat them. To suggest Jesus beat these, or any other men, is to go against all else Jesus represented.
How could Jesus tell His disciples of peace with their enemy and then turn around and horse whip men in the Temple?
Brother very good answer. Lord bless your heart.
