We aren't Jesus but we are supposed to be LIKE HIM! ;D :D 8)
seminole:
Exactly! We are supposed to be like Him! The sacrifice, the love, the forgiveness, the doing unto others. I am no judge of people being that we all sin. i know Jesus slapped that whip around in the temple and I know it was because people were not giving their best as the custom of that day. They were "robbing" God by giving the least of what they had instead of the best. I can't judge you or anybody else because I don't have that ability. According to the e-mails Ray gets some people judge him according to how and what he writes. Is that right? No! Can others judge me? You can try but do not have that right.

Here is the scripture you were referring to.
John 2:15 When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers' money and overturned the tables.
v. 16 And He said to those who sold doves, "Take these things away! Do not make My Father's house a house of merchandise!"
Jesus ran them out of the temple because He said, "Do not make My Father's house a house of merchandise." This sounds like He didn't like them selling things and making money. This sounds a lot like what is a common practice for preachers today, selling there ware(books, cds, videos) in the church. What would Jesus say about that?
mercy, peace, and love

Thanks prosizz. And Falcon, you have to understand I come from a religious home with a (pretty much) one minded dad. I want to be clear on ALL the scriptures so when I see what looks like a contradiction, I want somebodys input. I asked God to reveal some truth to me and wouldn't you know it...He lead me to bible-truths.com.
