John 2:15
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.

This verse is encouraging because it demonstrates Jesus showing true human emotion. He was angry for good reason & made sure all in his presence understood this fact. I often view anger as a sin but, this shows that anger in itself is not a sin but how we expss it can be.

Sometimes we make Jesus sound so passive that some people today believe Jesus would accept immoral practices in humankind e.g. same sex marriage. Jesus doesn't accept anything that is in direct conflict with his Father's word. In this verse, Jesus demonstrates his anger with the moneychangers and their misuse of the temple courts.

Those preaching a "social" Christianity use this verse to "show" how Jesus doesn't like the rich and how He would support the 99%ers and the OWS crowd (Susan Sarandon, actress, said JUST that). These are the people that manipulate the Bible to fit their political agenda. The point that Jesus was making was simply that THIS IS MY FATHER'S HOUSE! TREAT IT WITH RESPECT!
