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.

Amen. Jesus basis is beliefs on right and wrong based on God's word & we should do the same. If it's wrong in the bible then it's wrong period no exceptions!!!!

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!

I agree with you Walter, Jesus doesn't dislike the rich unless they are worshiping their money rather than Him. I can name several wealthy people who honour Christ every day of their lives and preaching of the gospel and works of the Lord is excelled because of them. It's not money that makes a person dishonouring to the Lord but the love of money, before Christ.

Wealth in it's self is not a sin but when it becomes the master of your life or the center of your worship then it is a sin.
