In Posts 323, 326, and 333 you claimed He drove the money changers out. No, He did not. He told them off and may have scared them into running out. But the whip was for the animals, and you seem to have seized on the words "drove all from the temple" as justification for you thinking He whipped human beings.

I never used the term all and clearly He drove the money changers out and the scriptures make that clear.

Why are people being so angry? Isn't this supposed to be a loving and caring place? The world doesn't need all this anger, it needs prayers and Jesus.

God is love

Sounds like something a hippie would say! lol No offense meant. Its just so abused. Love is truth. Truth doesnt feel good but is needed at times. I really dont see what the issue is on this thread.

1 John 4:16 ..... GOD IS LOVE ..... right smack in the middle of the verse.

Danged hippies!

Boy! You, shamefully, just will not quit playing games with god's words. You sound like Bill Clinton trying to worm his way out of what he did with Monika lewenski.

Here it is for you from John 2:

13 When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. 15 So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. 16 To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!” 17 His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.”

Sweet... What gets me is you claim to have studied greek and hebrew and whatnot yet you still don't employ the correct usage of your, you're and whatnot. I mean no offense but I just notice things like that when people espouse how intelligent they are.

Petty much?

Post the KJV...it's quite clear ..and do you think he was telling the animals to get out? Or the animals was the object of His Anger?

Well I think He threatened them with that thing at least, because they did go out.

A friend from my youth recently messaged me to let me know that he was secretly gay since high school. He seemed really concerned that I would never want to talk with him again. I have not been in touch with this guy for quite some time--so my response was something like: 'We can always be friends--and I hope that someday we'll get to reconnect in person again.'I didn't feel it appropriate to let him know, then and there, that I thought his recent news was displaying a sinful lifestyle. I thought this would be more appropriate for an in-person conversation.

Did I do wrong? Did I do okay?

This isn't the first time I've encountered a friend who later let me know they were gay. I had a roommate in college who was also gay. One time, I came back to our dorm to find him in bed with another man. I immediately left the room and later (once his friend had left) I told him that I don't want to see that anymore. Told him that I don't think any different, or any less of him--just told him that I don't agree and don't want it in my house.

Did I do wrong? Did I do okay?

Ooopfh! That's a gruesome image.

Well, yes, it is Scripture, and it was said in the context of someone referring to 1 Corinthians 13 And I am certainly not offended to be called a hippie LOL. Those were the days, my friend, we thought they'd never end... but they did, didn't they?

​

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 1 Cor 13:4-7

If God leads you to warn him..then do it in boldness..if not try to be a Christian and a friend in as much as you can...if he starts trying to teach or promote his sin as acceptable ..rebuke him in love...if he tries to promote his sin in the church. .he has made himself your enemy

Does not rejoice in evil but in the truth...seems some folks don't seem to want to hear the truth..and seem to rejoice in evil

Or both......

 

[Justcallmetinman]

You honestly can't remember what you, yourself posted that prompted that post?

don't mind me folks...just adding a little something


Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. I John 4:8

Undoubtedly. But Mitspa's claim is that our Savoir whipped human beings with a whip. That is his whole premise in posting this.
