Course he wasn't a Zealot either.the reason that Jesus and his companions made a PLANNED foray into theWhy don't you explain it then.read it again. NO WHERE does Jesus come close to saying what you claim HeYes, the Bible says it was for the love of his father that he got angry.I'm asking this question because I don't and Ziggy already knows this. People really tend to piss me off (mostly on here) and then I lose control of my language. Any suggestions? Hopefully this doesn't count as flaming because I'm actually trying to gain better control of this and be a better Christian..
I would assume Jesus knew his purpose, his blessings, and his place in the Kingdom of God.
Or, if your are Christian, you have to admit Jesus lost his temper at the Temple, and more than once (Matthew: 21 and John: 2).
I am not Christian, but if you are, that may help.
Oops ... mudwhistle beat me to it, and I should have read down further.

The temple was meant to be a place of prayer. A place where people would come to console each other, a place of healing.
A place of rejoicing, a fellowship, a gathering. A place to give thanks.
But it had been turned into a cold loveless business.
A place of greed and abuse. Of oppression and carelessness.
He was angry because they had turned their backs on the one that put them in charge to be their brother's keeper.
They were the watchers, the healers, the judges, the teachers.
And they failed. And they took a lot of people with them down into the depths of depression and hopelessness.
Yes, he was angry, and righteously so.

Temple courtyard in order to attack the money changers WAS because the
money changers were ROMAN SHILLS just as were the appointed high priests who
were SADDUCEES and just as was HEROD who was not actually qualified to be King.
The key to understanding who Jesus was is IN THE NT.
