Problem is viewing that scene as if Jesus sinned. It's called righteous indignation, the priests themeselves were allowing the temple to be a "den of theives". It would be a sin to not be angry and allow that
I would EXPECT a Holy God to get angry at sin, especially if sin hinders perfection and the expansion of the Kingdom of God. Scripture also says not to sin in our anger. People turning the temple into a marketplace for personal, prosperity over worship is a good reason a follower of God SHOULD get mad. I've never questioned any of this, but that's me.
Righteous Anger is not an imperfection is my understanding. Anger run amok is where Anger is harmful which is referenced when Jesus cites Anger with Murder, as Anger is most often rooted in agression and overpowering others, where Righteous Anger is rooted in Love.
thanks for a great explanation. I am a bible study teacher and you always add insights. I am 74 y old and I have study since childhood. I study in Israël US and France. so I know a lot of the things you are bringing up but still, you nearly always have something more. your explanations are clear and complete. it is a blessing to follow you. it is a french priest, à dominican teacher, who introduce me to the Chosen. it has just been a few months that we have it in french and I am really trying to get as much people as possible to join. I have also invited my few english speaking friends to follow you. but very few are fluent enough... God bless you and bless your ministry😊
I don't think "Anger" is the Sin, it's What You Do With That Anger for it to Become a Sin... My daughter & I had a loud argument over Politics of all things last night. We both had a Restless night over it. When I woke this morning, That was on my mind & There was a message from her at 1:28AM about Biblical War Soon. I answered back, we apologized & we Love each other More than That. God Bless y'all Brandon ✝️🙏💞
Hi Brandon, forgive me if you have spoken about this in your previous videos. If it is possible to talk about who were the widows in the bible?. How they were depicted? How did Jesus talk about them and treated them?. I became a widow at a young age with 2 little boys to raise. However, throughout my life, I've felt special to Jesus, not angry of what happened to me but rather feeling his presence by helping me in situations that somehow only me felt i was chosen for. Sometimes I feel that he challenges me to the point of breaking to see how tough I am and how far I can withstand the unfairness in life, then he rewards me with unexplainable acts (miracles) when I turn to him and pray. He has been there for me walking besides me, holding my hand, evernthough I am only spiritual. I never read the bible as a whole, I don't attend church regularly but i have strong believes in him. I enjoy very much your videos and explanation of the bible. The Chosen series definitely made me find you! Thank you.
We are “made in God’s image” so if we have emotions, are they not created in us? Even an infant has pain, discomfort, joy laughing. So, these emotions are in us. It also said Jesus was “indignant” and frustrated with his disciples, “are you still so dull?” And during the last supper when an apostle says “show us the Father” Jesus asks “you still don’t know”
Isaiah 55 [KJV] 8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
You nailed it, the word translated to perfect in English, can be from multiple Hebrew root words. The Hebrew root word for perfect, as it applied to Noah, is Tamim. The same word used to describe the Torah sacrifices and the red heifer. It means genetically pure. That wouldn't be the same root for the description of this video. As y'all stated, we're looking at without sin, which would be a different Hebrew root.
I don't want to give a video that sounds like it's going to be an outright lie, any view time. I already had to sit through his inaccurate short on the topic. I was hoping I could tell from the comments if he eventually gets it right. I could have learned from your comment but you chose not to tell anyone. Dominic, he is being facetious.
8:28 Perfect. Mature, complete. Of course. Thank you. The man can never be “perfect” like God. If Brandon retranslated the New Testament, I’d buy that book. Dennis Prager is writing the Rational Bible Series of the five Books of Moses-with the correct translations and cultural context. So far he wrote commentary on Genesis, Exodus and Deuteronomy-LOVED IT. These are real page-turners. Better than any book I’ve ever read. I can’t wait to read Numbers this winter.
I took it as if a person who is heartbroken is if their spouse , whom he or she is deeply in love with, is committing adultery. I’m sure everyone knows how painful a broken heart is. God is emotional, because he created emotions. Do we ever wondered if we, the way we act, treat or think of others, are we braking God heart?
Jesus, as the eternal high priest of God and King of israel, had the authority from God to expel the animals from the temple and clear the grounds of anything inhibiting the proper worship of God. he did not hurt anyone, not even the animals. This authority does not transfer to us, it is uniquely his, though we should do this with our own lives
One if the things Jesus might be doing is fulfilling the role of King. Many of the Israeli kings & judges had to tear down the high altars in their Fathers house and restore proper worship to the Father or prayer. The Pharisees had made it so burdensome for the common man to come and pray, putting all kinds of rules and limitations on man that the people of the land couldn't come into the temple to pray without jumping through lots of hoops. It was the King's duty before God to destroy the high places, here mammon, that inhibited man from worship. Gideon, Joshia David all had to act against those false altars. So maybe Jesus was doing the right thing as king and priest.
What would a modern version of Jesus flipping over the tables & whipping those in the Sanctuary??? Would it be those pastors that charge a lot for a gathering, or those pastors that are selling their new books, etc I wonder
@Brandon Robbins Given the translation of "perfect" versus "mature" in the scripture you're talking about in this video, I wonder why it's translated differently than James 1:4 "Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything".
The Authorised /Version was not translated from Latin, but from the original documents and Massoretic Text and Textus Receptus. Other earlier translations were compared.
There's a verse that says, " ...be angry and sin not..." Psalm 4:5 Ephesians 426 Emotions aren't sinful, what you do because of them could be sinful. The location where the money changers and merchants are set up was the only place certain demographics of Jewish Believers could go. Many Jewish Believers traveled from far countries for the required festivals. They had to exchange their coinage and buy the necessary items for the ceremonies. So the money changed and merchants not only crowded them out of the only place in the temple they could enter, they took advantage of a monopoly to fleece the travelers and the poor to get rich. This is one of the sins for which Sodom and Gomorrah was judged. There are many mitzvahs that outline how to treat the poor, the widows, the fatherless, and the strangers among them.
I believe socialism has dumbed us down on the appropriate use of anger and violence. Psalms 97:10 “If you love God, you must hate evil.” And hate requires action. It seems like God made anger, and so there is a good use of anger. Besides, I’m pretty sure God was angry once or twice in the Old Testament.
How has socialism dumbed us down? I feel the cause is all the violence in the media... But that doesn't have anything to do with socialism. I wouldn't be surprised if their television is less violent than American television.
🙌🙌🙌🇺🇸l was homeless, did drugs, went into prison, where I got to know God. He changed my life. Now I have a home, a wife and a lovely year old daughter (zoe), and a stream of income that gats me $47,000 weekly. Plus a new identity - a child of God, Hallelujah!!!🇺🇸❣️❤️❤️
It is the digital market. That's been the secret to this wealth transfer. A lot of folks in the US amd abroad are getting so much from it, God has been good to my household Thank you Jesus
Do people really have a problem with this? It recalls God's ire in e.g. Isiah 1.10-14 "Bring your worthless offerings no more" - When offerings had become a mere transaction, lip service, void of repentance and indeed a trade in iniquity. It may seem dissonant when we have atms and card readers in Churches today for offerings, but under the sacrificial system, it's closer to the sale of confessional redemption that Luther was scandalised by under the papacy. As the ultimate redeeming blood of the final sacrifice, it'd be hard not to be filled with a righteous anger that God's law had become such empty formalism.
I'm willing to guarantee those who claim Our Lord wasn't perfect because of what he did in the Temple, would also parrot the "Judge not lest ye be judged" line
2 comments First testament God gets angry, jealous all the emotions we do and it is how he handles these emotions not that if he has them. Sometimes you need the passion behind the emotion to get a point t across like he did in the temple. What if he was looking at thus man telling him I kept commandments I did this I did that, but God sees his heart and knows the truth so his only way to humble him is to say leave worldly possession and follow me knowing the some worldly possession are needed to live and comfort in your lifestyle/living situation is what God wants for us but to be telling him I am perfect I did everything when he see your heart... things that make you say hmmm
We tend to forget that our God is also a God of Wrath! Look at the Old Testament and Revelation. His is a righteous anger as was Jesus’ when he confronted the money changers in the Temple!
I think we read more anger into the passage than is there. Jesus made a whip to get the animals out of the Temple, animals don't tend to move without persuasion. They could get their animals back by going out to look for them. Animals wander away all the time. He overturned the tables of the money changers. They could gather up the money. He told the dove sellers to take the doves and leave He did not let the doves loose. Nothing was lost or destroyed. No one was injured. No verse said that He started whipping people or beating them up. Why was Jesus angry? They were selling sacrifices. They were selling salvation. Worshipping God had become a business transaction. I give this much to God so He blesses me this much. I sinned this much so I will give this much as a sacrifice, rather like paying a traffic ticket.
John 2:15; “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;” Although it doesn't specify, it doesn't specify only animals were driven out. It says "All" And All means All. Not that I think his actions weren't justified, I'm also not going to make unaccounted reasoning where there is not.
@@moneystarr9110 Sorry I didn't mean that the people weren't driven out I just meant that the whip was mainly for the animals not the people, that no one got whipped. Yes, Jesus's anger was justified.
Righteous anger is not a sin. Did GOD "sin" when HE nuked Sodom and Gomorrah? The answer to that question is: No, HE did not and neither did Jesus "sin" at the Temple when HE removed the evil from within its walls, in my opinion.
I know this topic was about if Jesus was wrong for getting angry or not. But not a single person brought up the fact that he was so angered by the disrespect of his father’s “TEMPLE” If you want more answers. You need to look at the Religions who have his Fathers “Temples”, and his 12 apostles. If you want answers. Follow the original Gospel of Jesus
God cannot SIN. Whatever God decides is right and just. God already tells us he is a jealous God and he can get angry with us, so is God admitting he sins? No because if God does these things he is not sinning, he does with pure love, a love that none of us can achieve.
Romans says that whoever obeys the law is demonstrating the love of God, so the last part of yours statement is inherently false. Not only is it attainable for human beings, it is an expectation. Paul wouldn't tell Christians to think like God or have the mind of Christ if it wasn't attainable.
@@dominicpardo4783the shroud of Turin. It is the burial cloth of Jesus. It has an image burned into it of Jesus and evidence of injuries he sustained as mentioned in the Bible. It is believed the process that took place to raise him from the dead is what burned his image into the cloth. The cloth is carbon dated to the time of Jesus. (At first, they thought it failed the test because they tested a repaired portion. When they tested the original cloth, it was from the proper time period.) The pollen that is on it is only found in the area that Jesus was crucified. Modern-day science cannot replicate the image. So you can't just say it's some hoax. There is more proof that Jesus existed than some other historical figures everyone agrees existed. I am talking about historical proof, not the Bible itself.
Sins is transgression of the Law (Torah) 1 John 3:4 ¶ Whosoever committeth sin transgresses also the law: 👉🏾for sin is the transgression of the law👈🏾. Romans 7:7 ¶ What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! 👉🏾On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.”👈🏾
The Word of God says "Be angry, but sin not". Let's not forget what Jesus said after He cleared the Synagogue, He told the Pharisee's, "My House shall be a House of Prayer. But you have made it a den of thieves!" Jesus did not sin! His anger was Righteous Anger!
No it does NOT prove imperfection in Jesus and he did NOT sin. The Bible says to “anger and sin not”. God angers, to the point of wrath. But that isn’t a sin.
@@crosscutofficial I already said that Jesus did not sin, read my post. 1pet2 22 He committed no sin and no deceit was found in his month. The scripture says it right there.
Hey guys sin is defined in the Bible like SUPER clearly . 1st John 3:4 sin is Lawlessness (the Torah) So if you smoke cigarettes is that a sin ? No. If you don’t keep the sabbath is that a sin ? Yes . Simple . Jesus kicking but In his temple , is there a law against that? I don’t think so .
Jesus Is GOD. How could we accuse HIM of sin? If we anger GOD, HE floods the world to cleanse it. If we anger GOD, HE sends down fire and brimstone. Turning over some tables seems pretty light to me.
He didn't "sack" the temple. And what the money-changers were doing was worse than a sin - it was sacrilege. They were declaring family offerings as inferior and forcing them to "buy" proper offerings. These "proper" offerings were actually the improper confiscated offerings. It was absolutely appalling. That's what Jesus' justifiable anger was about.
If you look into it , if you look up “Evil” in the Bible , God does the most evil in the book . So sin? No they will never break their rules . They don’t change . But cause destruction? (Evil) absolutely
It's his father's house. What would you do if you visited your father's house only to find people using your father's house as they saw fit. God said how people were to act when it comes to taking care of his house. The temple is the house of the Lord. Not the house of man, but the house of God. If you came to your father's house and only found his neighbors there how would you act. Christ acted out to protect and honor his father as he has always acted righteously to honor his father.
I don't believe Him getting angry makes him imperfect even by our understanding of perfect. He had every right to be angry at what they had turned His house into.
The reason Jesus didn’t sin and rather was more than justified at getting angry at what was taking place in the temple is because He is the owner of that temple. He is God’s Son and so Jesus was merely protecting what was His just like we protect our homes and our families.
If Jesus sinned, he is not the 1pet1 19 a lamb without blemish or defect. 1pet2 22. He committed no sin and no deceit was in his mouth. If you are saying he is not sinless, that could be a sin, fortunately an unforgivable sin. But then you might be preaching another gospel other than what the apostles preached, because only a perfect sacrifice which Jesus was could deliver us from sin.
Brandon is creating doubt and confusion by creating hypotheticals that Jesus is not perfect or sinless, that is Satans works. 1Peter2 22 He committed NO SIN, NO Deceit. Liars cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.
P.s. I, too, get angry. Then, use that as fuel to fervently discuss/prayer it with our Father. To all things in his will. Let him sort your thoughts. Lift it ALL. It is known anyhow, believe.
*I know many people don't really study the Bible anymore but this issue of perfect meaning Perfection and lack of sin is really getting very tired. If people would just understand language because our schools educated us we would never get caught in this ridiculous waste of time. 1. We're supposed to follow Jesus not mimic him. None of us will die onto blood and suffer on the cross. So in the sense of sinless Jesus was sinless and we are not. We are not Jesus we are being conformed into his likeness day by day. Jesus has left us a pattern to follow we are not supposed to recreate his every footstep we are to be ourselves in Christ. Jesus had every right to do what he did in the temple. What was going on there was wrong and needed correction and it kindled the wrath of God and rightly so. There was nothing sinful about what Jesus did. In fact I would say he showed quite a bit of restraint. 2. In your anger do not sin,-- Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry", Ephesians 4:26 Clearly God differentiates between anger and sin. Got himself clearly expresses anger. Ties into one of the questions too much of the church world is hell bent on the idea that anger is sinful. It's another trick of the enemy. 3.The original use of the word perfect is archaic to modern usage which is the main source of confusion. The reason the word perfect appears to different frequencies in the different translations has to do with the construction of English during different times versus any semantic implications. Perfect is the past participle of the verb. The original verb is to complete so a synonym for "perfect" is "completed". If one of the meetings of shalom is wholeness or health and health has to do with wholeness it would make sense that completeness or Perfection perfect will be found in biblical scripture. The Bible tells us that Jesus became sin and was cursed. That even tells us that he was not sin and did not sin but he had to take that on. Even Isaiah 53 says he took on the punishment that belong to us because he was innocent and we are not but we cannot bear the weight of our own sin.
Paul told the Corinthians to imitate him like he imitated Christ. Following Christ means doing what He did. If a person isn't doing that, they're not followers. A person who follows someone believes what they taught and apply those instructions in their life. Muslims have a better grasp on what it means to be a follower than "Christians".
Brandon is a false teacher and twists the word of God and says things that it does not say. 1pet2 22 He committed NO sin and no deceit was found in his mouth. He sells his soul for likes and clicks, how sad.
It's the hook into a lesson about Zeal and zealousness. In the full video (not just the opening) he goes into explain how being zealous is not a sin and anger is not a sin in and of itself. A hook is a thematic tool used by writers meant to get people invested in a video to watch till the end. It does this by representing the argument at the core of a teaching or story often by representing the opposite side of what the author is actually advocating for. Because it appears like you had not watched the whole video however you only got the opposite of what Brandon was discussing. I hope this helps and that you have a wonderful day.
@@IAmR1chyes that verse is spot on , you nailed it. Let me ask you , if you walked into a church today and hit people with a whip and flipped tables would you get arrested? O ya… and it would make the news , you would go to jail and everyone would cheer when you got locked up . Sin is only biblically defined as the Old Testament law . So did Jesus break any of that Old Testament law? No . But did he kick ass? Yes
I just lost all respect for you. Using clickbait titles and making out that Jesus wasn't perfect. You know full well this is righteous indignation. You don't admit it at all in the short. You admit it eventually in the long video. What if viewers don't watch to the end? What if they watch to the end but don't realize you back peddled from your initial comments? You should be ashamed of yourself. This video is a stumbling block. You're going to be held accountable by God. (Of course we all are. But people are looking to you as a leader. And you are leading them astray.)
Hi, Brenda. My initial comments aren’t statements, but rhetorical questions. I’m addressing something people have wondered or assumed. I’m not suggesting, in any way, that Jesus is imperfect, but building a case for why such an idea is flawed because our understanding of “perfection” is so far removed from the biblical definition.
Idiot, that area the gentile court was reserved for gentiles to pray, during passover the passover lamb was tied there for 4 days to be inspected by any israelite man. Why do you think Jesus went their for 4 days and was questioned?
@@dominicpardo4783 you keep commenting about a topic you’re obviously intrigued about. Otherwise, you’d ignore content such as this. So why not go all in and study every aspect about it and legitimately disprove these stories? “Grifters gonna grift” maybe?
@meeshmeeshelle6326 Not intrigued. Disgusted. Religion is the biggest hoax ever perpetrated on mankind. The entirety of the Pentatuch has a parallel myth that originated in Mesopotamia a millennia before. Also, talking donkeys? Talking serpents? Talking burning bushes? Walking on water? Demon infused pigs? Jerusalem zombies? One must suspend rational thought to believe such utter crap.
@mee 0:03 shmeeshelle6326 Christian school K-12 and then two years at the seminary. Got an advanced degree in Ancient History from Northwestern University. What interests me is debunking this nonsense.
Salvation is instant the moment we believe the truth about Jesus, but sanctification/Christian maturity takes a lifetime. God will get us there as long as we continue following Him.
It depends on your definition of ‘sanctified’. If you define it to mean free from sin, then we have that instantly. We are only declared righteous and sinless.
@@thisguy2085 I would define it as becoming just like Jesus. I was saved when I believed Jesus was the Son of God, the Messiah, and the savior of the world but I certainly wasn’t like Jesus in deed, character, and holiness. Becoming like Jesus is a process I’m still on.
@@jamesajiduah2001 Yes an ongoing everyday part of salvation where we are born again and made a new creation of God through faith in Jesus Christ each and everyday so that one day we will be just like Jesus. God’s love, mercy, and grace covers us until then.
Problem is viewing that scene as if Jesus sinned. It's called righteous indignation, the priests themeselves were allowing the temple to be a "den of theives".
It would be a sin to not be angry and allow that
That's what I've always called it.
The Word say in your anger do not sin. It doesn’t say don’t get angry.
I would EXPECT a Holy God to get angry at sin, especially if sin hinders perfection and the expansion of the Kingdom of God. Scripture also says not to sin in our anger. People turning the temple into a marketplace for personal, prosperity over worship is a good reason a follower of God SHOULD get mad. I've never questioned any of this, but that's me.
Exactly..Jesus did nothing wrong
I concur.
Jesus was and is a righteous judge!
Jesus is DEAD.
Righteous Anger is not an imperfection is my understanding. Anger run amok is where Anger is harmful which is referenced when Jesus cites Anger with Murder, as Anger is most often rooted in agression and overpowering others, where Righteous Anger is rooted in Love.

Human in every way except he did not sin.

It was right for the yeast to be cleansed from the house before the Passover.
But how many times in the Old Testament did God say he was angry!

It also said Jesus was “indignant” and frustrated with his disciples, “are you still so dull?” And during the last supper when an apostle says “show us the Father” Jesus asks “you still don’t know”
To say that Jesus sinned by being angry would to say that God the Father is sinful in His fury!
Which commandment did he break by losing his temper? There are many examples in the Bible of God being angry with much worse consequences than this.

Hello Brandon I watched this on my older phone then again so I can pause and add notes
There's a verse that says, " ...be angry and sin not..."
Psalm 4:5
Ephesians 426
Emotions aren't sinful, what you do because of them could be sinful.
The location where the money changers and merchants are set up was the only place certain demographics of Jewish Believers could go. Many Jewish Believers traveled from far countries for the required festivals. They had to exchange their coinage and buy the necessary items for the ceremonies.
So the money changed and merchants not only crowded them out of the only place in the temple they could enter, they took advantage of a monopoly to fleece the travelers and the poor to get rich.
This is one of the sins for which Sodom and Gomorrah was judged.
There are many mitzvahs that outline how to treat the poor, the widows, the fatherless, and the strangers among them.
Great teaching, love the etymology in history of words. Perfect... example of the i.portance of digging into the scriptures
Your going to have to explain how the Lexham English Bible site works. Is it free?
I believe socialism has dumbed us down on the appropriate use of anger and violence. Psalms 97:10 “If you love God, you must hate evil.” And hate requires action.
It seems like God made anger, and so there is a good use of anger. Besides, I’m pretty sure God was angry once or twice in the Old Testament.
How has socialism dumbed us down? I feel the cause is all the violence in the media... But that doesn't have anything to do with socialism. I wouldn't be surprised if their television is less violent than American television.
Righteous anger.
🙌🙌🙌🇺🇸l was homeless, did drugs, went into prison, where I got to know God. He changed my life. Now I have a home, a wife and a lovely year old daughter (zoe), and a stream of income that gats me $47,000 weekly. Plus a new identity - a child of God, Hallelujah!!!🇺🇸❣️❤️❤️
God bless you more abundantly for your generosity
But then, what do you do? How do you come about that in that period?
Thanks to God, my daughter who introduced me into the digital market. Moreso, thanks to Ms *Kathleen Mary Vella*
It is the digital market. That's been the secret to this wealth transfer. A lot of folks in the US amd abroad are getting so much from it, God has been good to my household Thank you Jesus
Big thanks to Ms *Kathleen Mary Vella*
Her top notch guidance and expertise on digital market changed the game for me
Do people really have a problem with this? It recalls God's ire in e.g. Isiah 1.10-14 "Bring your worthless offerings no more"
- When offerings had become a mere transaction, lip service, void of repentance and indeed a trade in iniquity.
It may seem dissonant when we have atms and card readers in Churches today for offerings, but under the sacrificial system, it's closer to the sale of confessional redemption that Luther was scandalised by under the papacy.
As the ultimate redeeming blood of the final sacrifice, it'd be hard not to be filled with a righteous anger that God's law had become such empty formalism.
He was human too and experienced everything that we do
I'm willing to guarantee those who claim Our Lord wasn't perfect because of what he did in the Temple, would also parrot the "Judge not lest ye be judged" line
Mature, complete, whole, fitting, done

First testament God gets angry, jealous all the emotions we do and it is how he handles these emotions not that if he has them. Sometimes you need the passion behind the emotion to get a point t across like he did in the temple.
What if he was looking at thus man telling him I kept commandments I did this I did that, but God sees his heart and knows the truth so his only way to humble him is to say leave worldly possession and follow me knowing the some worldly possession are needed to live and comfort in your lifestyle/living situation is what God wants for us but to be telling him I am perfect I did everything when he see your heart... things that make you say hmmm
We tend to forget that our God is also a God of Wrath! Look at the Old Testament and Revelation. His is a righteous anger as was Jesus’ when he confronted the money changers in the Temple!
Amen, may God and Jesus continue to bless every one, may we repent and rejoice in the Lord, Jesus IS coming back, Amen. 🙏🏽🙌🏽✝️👑🫶🏽❤️💗💕
I think we read more anger into the passage than is there. Jesus made a whip to get the animals out of the Temple, animals don't tend to move without persuasion. They could get their animals back by going out to look for them. Animals wander away all the time. He overturned the tables of the money changers. They could gather up the money. He told the dove sellers to take the doves and leave He did not let the doves loose. Nothing was lost or destroyed. No one was injured. No verse said that He started whipping people or beating them up. Why was Jesus angry? They were selling sacrifices. They were selling salvation. Worshipping God had become a business transaction. I give this much to God so He blesses me this much. I sinned this much so I will give this much as a sacrifice, rather like paying a traffic ticket.
John 2:15; “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;”
Although it doesn't specify, it doesn't specify only animals were driven out. It says "All"
And All means All.
Not that I think his actions weren't justified, I'm also not going to make unaccounted reasoning where there is not.
@@moneystarr9110 Sorry I didn't mean that the people weren't driven out I just meant that the whip was mainly for the animals not the people, that no one got whipped. Yes, Jesus's anger was justified.
What settings do I have to get to use that specific BWS? Because mine doesn’t include “mature.” My logos defaults to “Lexham Bible Dictionary.”
righteous indignation
Righteous anger is not a sin. Did GOD "sin" when HE nuked Sodom and Gomorrah? The answer to that question is: No, HE did not and neither did Jesus "sin" at the Temple when HE removed the evil from within its walls, in my opinion.
No, i know he was upset. How they've treated the temple
HIS temple 😊
EPh 4: 26, and 27
Be angry but not sin
I know this topic was about if Jesus was wrong for getting angry or not. But not a single person brought up the fact that he was so angered by the disrespect of his father’s “TEMPLE”
If you want more answers. You need to look at the Religions who have his Fathers “Temples”, and his 12 apostles. If you want answers. Follow the original Gospel of Jesus
God cannot SIN. Whatever God decides is right and just. God already tells us he is a jealous God and he can get angry with us, so is God admitting he sins? No because if God does these things he is not sinning, he does with pure love, a love that none of us can achieve.
Please provide a fragment of evidence that any god exists.
@@dominicpardo4783 no physical evidence. Only evidence is the holy spirit of God speaking to us , guiding us
@@Sam_Sir_Maths The delusion is strong in this one.....
Romans says that whoever obeys the law is demonstrating the love of God, so the last part of yours statement is inherently false. Not only is it attainable for human beings, it is an expectation. Paul wouldn't tell Christians to think like God or have the mind of Christ if it wasn't attainable.
@@dominicpardo4783the shroud of Turin. It is the burial cloth of Jesus. It has an image burned into it of Jesus and evidence of injuries he sustained as mentioned in the Bible. It is believed the process that took place to raise him from the dead is what burned his image into the cloth.
The cloth is carbon dated to the time of Jesus. (At first, they thought it failed the test because they tested a repaired portion. When they tested the original cloth, it was from the proper time period.)
The pollen that is on it is only found in the area that Jesus was crucified.
Modern-day science cannot replicate the image. So you can't just say it's some hoax.
There is more proof that Jesus existed than some other historical figures everyone agrees existed. I am talking about historical proof, not the Bible itself.
What do people think Jesus should have done, allow it to continue?
The ultimate impossibility is for God to sin. Sin is a transgression of the law. Hebrews 6:13.
Sins is transgression of the Law (Torah)
1 John 3:4 ¶ Whosoever committeth sin transgresses also the law: 👉🏾for sin is the transgression of the law👈🏾.
Romans 7:7 ¶ What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! 👉🏾On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.”👈🏾
The Word of God says "Be angry, but sin not". Let's not forget what Jesus said after He cleared the Synagogue, He told the Pharisee's, "My House shall be a House of Prayer. But you have made it a den of thieves!" Jesus did not sin! His anger was Righteous Anger!
No it does NOT prove imperfection in Jesus and he did NOT sin. The Bible says to “anger and sin not”. God angers, to the point of wrath. But that isn’t a sin.
A forgivable sin. but those who preach another gospel. Paul said let those men be cursed with Gods curse (hell)
@@IAmR1ch Jesus did NOT commit a sin, nor does the Father. Both angered at the sinful acts of mankind and both reacted in a wrathful manner.
@@crosscutofficial I already said that Jesus did not sin, read my post. 1pet2 22 He committed no sin and no deceit was found in his month. The scripture says it right there.
@@IAmR1ch I didn’t see your other post/comment
What I get from it is only one thing angers Christ. Convoluting prophets with profits.
Jesus is God Almighty. He can do whatever He pleases.
.no! He displayed righteous anger.
No it was not a sin and I have no concern. It is a reminder that we should be angry at those who cheat and mistreat people as well.
What about righteous?
Hey guys sin is defined in the Bible like SUPER clearly .
1st John 3:4 sin is Lawlessness (the Torah)
So if you smoke cigarettes is that a sin ? No. If you don’t keep the sabbath is that a sin ? Yes .
Simple .
Jesus kicking but In his temple , is there a law against that? I don’t think so .
Paul said be angry at the brother, but don't sin😢
Jesus Is GOD. How could we accuse HIM of sin? If we anger GOD, HE floods the world to cleanse it. If we anger GOD, HE sends down fire and brimstone. Turning over some tables seems pretty light to me.
He didn't "sack" the temple. And what the money-changers were doing was worse than a sin - it was sacrilege. They were declaring family offerings as inferior and forcing them to "buy" proper offerings. These "proper" offerings were actually the improper confiscated offerings. It was absolutely appalling. That's what Jesus' justifiable anger was about.
When God finally destroys the world by fire, will he be sinning then?
If you look into it , if you look up “Evil” in the Bible , God does the most evil in the book .
So sin? No they will never break their rules . They don’t change . But cause destruction? (Evil) absolutely
It's his father's house. What would you do if you visited your father's house only to find people using your father's house as they saw fit. God said how people were to act when it comes to taking care of his house. The temple is the house of the Lord. Not the house of man, but the house of God. If you came to your father's house and only found his neighbors there how would you act. Christ acted out to protect and honor his father as he has always acted righteously to honor his father.
I don't believe Him getting angry makes him imperfect even by our understanding of perfect. He had every right to be angry at what they had turned His house into.
The reason Jesus didn’t sin and rather was more than justified at getting angry at what was taking place in the temple is because He is the owner of that temple. He is God’s Son and so Jesus was merely protecting what was His just like we protect our homes and our families.
Before i watched the video, just seeing the title I was like "He was/is though..."
If there is any righteous judge, it's YHWH/Yehusha.
If Jesus sinned, he is not the 1pet1 19 a lamb without blemish or defect. 1pet2 22. He committed no sin and no deceit was in his mouth. If you are saying he is not sinless, that could be a sin, fortunately an unforgivable sin. But then you might be preaching another gospel other than what the apostles preached, because only a perfect sacrifice which Jesus was could deliver us from sin.
Get angry and not sin
Don't be crazy.
Of course not because God never sins
Frustration
Brandon is creating doubt and confusion by creating hypotheticals that Jesus is not perfect or sinless, that is Satans works. 1Peter2 22 He committed NO SIN, NO Deceit. Liars cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.
According to non Canonical writings, isn't it said that the Apostle John struggled with anger up until his demise? Meh. Do all things for his Glory.
P.s. I, too, get angry. Then, use that as fuel to fervently discuss/prayer it with our Father. To all things in his will. Let him sort your thoughts. Lift it ALL. It is known anyhow, believe.
So that you may not act and wield Sin and transgress against another.
Emet
*I know many people don't really study the Bible anymore but this issue of perfect meaning Perfection and lack of sin is really getting very tired. If people would just understand language because our schools educated us we would never get caught in this ridiculous waste of time.
1. We're supposed to follow Jesus not mimic him. None of us will die onto blood and suffer on the cross. So in the sense of sinless Jesus was sinless and we are not. We are not Jesus we are being conformed into his likeness day by day. Jesus has left us a pattern to follow we are not supposed to recreate his every footstep we are to be ourselves in Christ.
Jesus had every right to do what he did in the temple. What was going on there was wrong and needed correction and it kindled the wrath of God and rightly so. There was nothing sinful about what Jesus did. In fact I would say he showed quite a bit of restraint.
2. In your anger do not sin,-- Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry",
Ephesians 4:26
Clearly God differentiates between anger and sin. Got himself clearly expresses anger. Ties into one of the questions too much of the church world is hell bent on the idea that anger is sinful. It's another trick of the enemy.
3.The original use of the word perfect is archaic to modern usage which is the main source of confusion.
The reason the word perfect appears to different frequencies in the different translations has to do with the construction of English during different times versus any semantic implications. Perfect is the past participle of the verb. The original verb is to complete so a synonym for "perfect" is "completed". If one of the meetings of shalom is wholeness or health and health has to do with wholeness it would make sense that completeness or Perfection perfect will be found in biblical scripture.
The Bible tells us that Jesus became sin and was cursed. That even tells us that he was not sin and did not sin but he had to take that on. Even Isaiah 53 says he took on the punishment that belong to us because he was innocent and we are not but we cannot bear the weight of our own sin.
Paul told the Corinthians to imitate him like he imitated Christ. Following Christ means doing what He did. If a person isn't doing that, they're not followers. A person who follows someone believes what they taught and apply those instructions in their life. Muslims have a better grasp on what it means to be a follower than "Christians".
Jesus can not sin!
To get angry is not a sin …. Don’t be so simple
Brandon is a false teacher and twists the word of God and says things that it does not say. 1pet2 22 He committed NO sin and no deceit was found in his mouth. He sells his soul for likes and clicks, how sad.
Not simple, it’s a teaching strategy to start discussion.
It's the hook into a lesson about Zeal and zealousness.
In the full video (not just the opening) he goes into explain how being zealous is not a sin and anger is not a sin in and of itself.
A hook is a thematic tool used by writers meant to get people invested in a video to watch till the end. It does this by representing the argument at the core of a teaching or story often by representing the opposite side of what the author is actually advocating for. Because it appears like you had not watched the whole video however you only got the opposite of what Brandon was discussing.
I hope this helps and that you have a wonderful day.
@@IAmR1chyes that verse is spot on , you nailed it.
Let me ask you , if you walked into a church today and hit people with a whip and flipped tables would you get arrested? O ya… and it would make the news , you would go to jail and everyone would cheer when you got locked up .
Sin is only biblically defined as the Old Testament law . So did Jesus break any of that Old Testament law? No . But did he kick ass? Yes
I just lost all respect for you. Using clickbait titles and making out that Jesus wasn't perfect. You know full well this is righteous indignation. You don't admit it at all in the short. You admit it eventually in the long video. What if viewers don't watch to the end? What if they watch to the end but don't realize you back peddled from your initial comments? You should be ashamed of yourself. This video is a stumbling block. You're going to be held accountable by God. (Of course we all are. But people are looking to you as a leader. And you are leading them astray.)
Hi, Brenda. My initial comments aren’t statements, but rhetorical questions. I’m addressing something people have wondered or assumed. I’m not suggesting, in any way, that Jesus is imperfect, but building a case for why such an idea is flawed because our understanding of “perfection” is so far removed from the biblical definition.
Idiot, that area the gentile court was reserved for gentiles to pray, during passover the passover lamb was tied there for 4 days to be inspected by any israelite man. Why do you think Jesus went their for 4 days and was questioned?
Sin is an abstract concept.
And this is a *STORY* that likely never happened.
@@dominicpardo4783 you keep commenting about a topic you’re obviously intrigued about. Otherwise, you’d ignore content such as this. So why not go all in and study every aspect about it and legitimately disprove these stories? “Grifters gonna grift” maybe?
@meeshmeeshelle6326 Not intrigued. Disgusted. Religion is the biggest hoax ever perpetrated on mankind. The entirety of the Pentatuch has a parallel myth that originated in Mesopotamia a millennia before. Also, talking donkeys? Talking serpents? Talking burning bushes? Walking on water? Demon infused pigs? Jerusalem zombies? One must suspend rational thought to believe such utter crap.
@mee 0:03 shmeeshelle6326 Christian school K-12 and then two years at the seminary. Got an advanced degree in Ancient History from Northwestern University. What interests me is debunking this nonsense.
Salvation is instant the moment we believe the truth about Jesus, but sanctification/Christian maturity takes a lifetime. God will get us there as long as we continue following Him.
It depends on your definition of ‘sanctified’. If you define it to mean free from sin, then we have that instantly. We are only declared righteous and sinless.
@@thisguy2085 I would define it as becoming just like Jesus. I was saved when I believed Jesus was the Son of God, the Messiah, and the savior of the world but I certainly wasn’t like Jesus in deed, character, and holiness. Becoming like Jesus is a process I’m still on.
AMEN AND AMEN 🙏
Sanctification is part of salvation.
@@jamesajiduah2001 Yes an ongoing everyday part of salvation where we are born again and made a new creation of God through faith in Jesus Christ each and everyday so that one day we will be just like Jesus. God’s love, mercy, and grace covers us until then.
