    So, show me the version of Scripture that actually says that, and stop the kabuki dance.

    That's beneath an adult of your age don't you think? If you can't keep this at an adult level without resorting to condescension stop talking to me. I don't like that it brings that out in you. And I sure don't deserve it.
    Oh, quit your bellyachin'... I'm poking fun at you, and if you can't take it, just say so.

    I think you're not quite in this thread. You're emotionally invested in casting what you believe are insults and demeaning implications as to my character, when you can't recall you posted the verse you later ask for that shows where Jesus fashioned a whip of cords.
    The Scripture, please.

      When he fashioned a whip and took it to, the verb there is key, that's what it is saying.

      As the example I afforded before in contemporary parenting (for some). Someone who says, "My daddy use to take a switch to me and I learned my lesson."
      It doesn't say he took it to them. That is what we have been saying. give me a quote if you disagree.

      and the bible doesn't say Jesus didn't do heroin either, so are you going to argue that he did? You can't argue from silence.

        So let's zero in on that... from whence cometh this "take to" "Took a whip to"????

        You MIGHT actually have a point, but you seem rather incapable of backing it.

        • [QUOTE=Cow Poke;107575]You're taking yourself way too seriously.


          You left out "into". I mangle titles, you mangle posts, and misread scripture.
          You're typo contagious that's what it is.
          (And I'm pulling your chain -- if you can't take it, lemme know, and I'll change to "treat this person with kidd gloves cause they can't take what they dish out" mode.
          No, I don't resort and haven't resorted to condescension in my address to you. There's a difference between teasing and condescension.
          No, you take YOUR pick to show what you've been claiming. YOU are the one making the claim, so YOU pick the version that you think supports your position.
          Jesus fashioned a whip. Why? A Whip is a weapon. Why?
          If Jesus wasn't planning on using a weapon in the temple to cleanse it of the violators of his fathers house, those who would treat it as a market place, being robbers in his fathers house, why would he fashion a whip?
          Why wouldn't he simply use his power he could call from Heaven, as he did when he called Lazarus forth from the dead, and turn over the money changers tables and cleanse the temple?

          Why did he fashion a whip ahead of time and then go forth and take that whip to the money changers? You can't defend the verb form, so the onus is on you to prove he didn't take the whip to the money changers. That he didn't hit them.
          Scripture says he took the whip to the money changers. What? He took the whip to them and said, look at this? No. Where is the scripture that says he flailed it around to scare the money changers?
          It doesn't exist. Because the early scribes probably imagined people would comprehend the verb form.

          I'm not going to derail this thread any further. As I said, you believe in the Jesus you need to believe in. I'll understand the verb form when he cleansed the temple using a weapon.
          Don't forget his disciple had a sword on him in the garden when the temple guard and Romans came to arrest Jesus. If Jesus wasn't about weapons he wouldn't have told his disciples to sell their cloaks and buy one.
          A whip is nothing compared to a sword that takes the ear off a temple guard.

            OK, that was all wonderful, but you TOTALLY bypassed the whole crux of the thing where you claimed I didn't understand the verb ....
            so let's get back to that....

            WHERE, exactly, do you get "take to" "took a whip to"?

              It does not say "Took a whip to" or even "take to"

              Is that hard to comprehend? You are seeing what is not there.

              It says he made a whip and he drove (or chased) out the livestock (and perhaps the money changers) from the temple grounds. It does not say he used the whip on them, or "took the whip to" them.

                Remember when Other Cheek argued this so heatedly, only to admit after a LONG battle, "OK, so it doesn't say that"?

                  yep. and sparrow keeps avoiding the direct question which means she already knows the scripture doesn't say "took a whip to" anywhere. She can't show that verse so she ignores it and goes on. Reminds me a lot of OC in that regard.

                    OK, so apparently, here is where we get the "took a whip to".... so those are YOUR words.

                    Now, please show where these words (or anything like them) appear in Scripture with regards to Jesus in the Temple.

                    Thanks

                      3. The physical actions involving the whip were directed at the animals, and was forceful but not cruel:

                      "Jesus' physical action was forceful, but not cruel: one does not easily drive out cattle and sheep without a whip of cords. Still, his action could not have generated a riotous uproar, or there would have been swift reprisals from the Roman troops in the fortress of Antonia overlooking part of the temple complex." [Carson, John]

                      "The driving out of the animals from the temple area (the outer court) serves as a symbolic act. The implication is that the animals should not have been in the temple at all, and it is in this sense that the denunciation of the market atmosphere must be understood. The whip (15) was necessary to control the animals rather than to inflict any punishment upon them. " [New Bible Commentary, at John 2]

                        Yes, Young's Literal, Darby and others place the "whipping" focus on the driving out of the animals, and the men with them. There is NOTHING to suggest Jesus actually hit any person. NADA.

                              Thirteenth Amendment:

                              I've never been in the military. I don't understand how it would be legal to have recruits forfeit their Constitutional rights. I also don't know why you would think the military has no freedom of speech. My understanding is that it has the same limits on speech that any other government job has: if it impacts your job, you're in trouble. I would like to know what you see as the distinction between environmental and workplace safety regulations and serving certain people. If a regulation requires that certain equipment is kept well maintained or that water waste be purified, isn't that requiring service of the business to the government?

                                Another limitation is that courts have allowed the military to require its members to submit some things for approval before mailing or publishing them. For example look at the Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Glines, 444 U.S. 348 (1980). In civilian life this would absolutely violate the first amendment of the Constitution; it's called "prior restraint."

                                The U.S. Supreme Court, in cases where GI's were seeking rights similar to those of civilians, has said, "the military is, by necessity, a specialized society separate from civilian society. We have also recognized that the military has, again by necessity, developed laws and traditions of its own during its long history. The differences between the military and civilian communities result from the fact that it is the primary business of armies and navies to fight or ready to fight wars should the occasion arise. . . . An army is not a deliberative body. It is the executive arm. Its law is that of obedience."
