used a flail to whack a table
I've never seen that before. How do you figure?
You're right! Seems that's another myth that sprung up, probably out of Hollywood. Here's the exact passage where OP says Jesus "beat the shit" out of people (there's like 5 versions of this, because it's from the Bible, but I'll pick the simplest one):
Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.
So he just flipped some tables over and made a sick burn. And this is how ridiculous the Bible can be, this is what came next:
The chief priests and the teachers of the law heard this and began looking for a way to kill him, for they feared him, because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching
So the onlookers who saw this amazing act of flipping over a table and saying "it is written", the crowd was awed, floored even, and they all immediately wanted to join Jesus. So the kike priests were like "Time to kill this guy".
It fits my theory about Jesus just being a revolutionary perfectly. A man threatening the status quo, charismatic enough to gain a following, and then start making unrest during a kike holiday in their holiest city. It's so obvious, this kind of shit has happened in history so many times- just a few individuals (such as Jesus or the Muhammad) were active at the right time and place for mythology to form around them. Christianity is the result of a failed rebellion. Islam is the result of a warlord who was so dominant, he was able to conquer and convince his region (using a lot of kike methods, no less) that he was divine, and then the myth built from there.
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.
No. Its in there.
What do you think "drove out" means as it was written then?
You are reading an old book translated several times through the eyes of a millenial and then pretending to understand because you recognize the printed words.
I never quoted passages. Don't bear false witness.
