The Scourging of Jesus -
03-24-2012, 07:26 PM
Firstly I would like to say that I'm not referring to the scourging of Jesus when He is the one receiving the violence , I'm referring to when Jesus is dishing out the violence.
I just get so fed up with luke warm christians who have never read the Bible talking of 'gentle Jesus meek and mild'. Yes, Jesus is but at other times He knew that a preemptive violent attack with a weapon is the best option.
John 2:13 And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
15And 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;
So Jesus went into the temple then left to make His weapon and then later returned to attack the money changers all tooled up.
Jesus knew how to deal with problems.

Genesis 22:2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
I know God wouldn't let me believe in Him if He didn't exist.

Thank you, Brother. This will be food for thought for the liberal false Christians who think that Christ is all group hugs and greeting-card sentiments.
This church is dedicated to preaching True Christianity™ and the King James Bible exactly as they are, with no alterations to make them more politically correct for modern liberals. If you think that we've misquoted or twisted Scripture or quoted any verse out of context, please explain in detail how we've done so. Otherwise, if what you read on this site offends you, then you're offended by Almighty God and His Word, not by us.
Questions to ask liberal "Christians" ✞ Things that the Bible doesn't say ✞ Tolerance

Praise. And let us not forget that He did so TWICE.
St. John relates how Our Lord cleansed the temple at the beginning of His mission (as you just quoted) whereas Sts. Matthew, Mark and Luke tell of another temple cleansing at the end of His mission - a few days before the crucifixion:
Mark 11:15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
Mark 11:16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple. Jesus started AND ended His mission with violent attacks on the unbelievers.
1st Corinthians 15:16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
1st Corinthians 15:17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
1st Corinthians 15:18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.

And just how tough must Jesus have been?
Think of the agonies he visited unto Himself by sentencing Himself to suffer and die (temporally) so that He could save us from His decision to send sinners (everyone) to Hell.
We are all sinners (Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord) and Jesus did His bit to save us from ourselves and Himself.
Jesus can take it as well as dish it out. He's a True Hero and I can't wait to meet Him in person.

1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
Revelation 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Amen, brother!
I get so irritated with the feminization of Jesus in popular culture:
How could anyone respect that? How could any man or woman or child follow a God who looks so soft? He looks like he has irritable bowel syndrome and is begging God to not have another asthma attack. Who in the world would follow him?
I'm no historian, but I suspect Jesus, being a manly carpenter and all, was quite strong and fit. He could have come down from the Cross at any time, but choose not to! That takes strength!
Hello, my name is Mary. I hope to fellowship with you! That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.
