I realise that I’ll lose you five words into this response and that you won’t understand the reply… however your silly question needs a response.
Jesus' actions in the temple were not about personal retribution but about a righteous defense of His Father's house.
The 'beating' with a whip was a demonstration of how serious and unacceptable it is to turn God's sacred space into a den of thieves. It was a powerful symbol that injustices against His Father—particularly the desecration of holy things—are deserving of correction and punishment. If you're asking whether Jesus would have 'beaten' a rapist, you’re missing the deeper point: Jesus’ actions showed that sin, especially when it disrespects the sanctity of God’s laws, calls for justice. In this case, His anger wasn’t about harming individuals, but about showing that violations of divine order are wrong and must be confronted.
Jesus didn’t come to endorse passivity in the face of sin, but to offer the correction and cleansing that only God’s justice and mercy can bring.
usury when looked at calmly and scientifically shows a system which will mathematically remove the wealth from any community anywhere on the planet .
the priests of the temple saw that the people intensely disliked giving sacrifice using coins with Herods head -their persecutor and puppet ruler from Rome on them so to satisfy the demand they minted TEMPLE SACRIFICE CURRENCY free of Herods image .
the scam was then available to create a artificial shortage of TEMPLE COINS which meant people paid 2 dinars instead of one for one as was the custom .
this extra coin earned from fresh air was a value created out of nothing other than the lie there is a shortage -- therefore there was no exchange in value -- for the first time nothing was exchanged for its value and it mathematically meant those who could get a currency without paying a value for it would mathematically eventually own all the wealth of the community and therefore cause its destruction and starvation .
Christ knew what the Muslims knew who refer to this forbidden practice as ribera today was the most evil practice known to man as it would destroy any society.
i sometimes hate the catholic church as i was beaten when young for doggedly pursuing the story of Christ making whip cords and whipping people in the temple who in some illustrations were merely selling baskets of pidgins and i desperatly wanted to know why he lost the rag and would not let it go and was beaten .
what a difference it would have made to my and everyone else's life to have an understanding of usury and its power and the permission given by the evil catholic church to go against Christs most profound statement that usury was evil,
and the Vatican itself was engaged in banking /usury and archbishop marchinkus the Vatican finance minister had 15 sample arrest warrants issued against him for clearing the drug money from the new jersey mafia .
when pope John Paul was asked about this he replied BLESS THE ARCHBISHOP THE CHURCH COULD NOT DO ITS GREAT WORKS WITH THE MONEY HE GENERATES TO MAKE THIS POSSIBLE BLESS HIM AND HIS WORK.
this is usury in the temple in our time and had there been a Christ figure in the church or a body of religious loyal to Christs teachings it would have been stopped .
this is why i am a bad Irish catholic who makes it up as i go along depending on the zoo animal i am dealing with and any other circumstances within my power to deal with .
my church has no morals --it could ask the world to really REALLY BOYCOTT the Israel state and the American state which bombs them .
the catholic church could end the genocide if it wished --millions would obey gladly it would be over in a week .
fuck them fuck them again they are parasites not religious with morals .
the most ordinary Irishman who has NEVER in his life read a bible or spent 5 minutes debating what we are debating here has more religion and true love of Christ than the pope in Rome.
