He kicked the "money changers" out of the church. Compare that with any jewish temple. And how are jews "his disciples"? Aren't the followers of christ's called.... Christians?
I'm not sure exactly when the term Christian was first used. Paul does not use the word to my knowledge. From what I've read, the term was probably first ascribed to the earliest Christians. It appears there was some debate in the earliest Church regarding who should join. Paul's position was that the "good news" was for Jews and gentiles alike, and of course his position won out. But of course the majority of Jews did not accept Jesus as Messiah, so it is true that it's complicated.
And yes, Jesus shows righteous anger in Gospel accounts re. the "money changers" (and I believe this is likely based on a real historical event), but this doesn't mean that he hated the people doing it. Rather, he hated what they **did.
And who were they? Did they say the jew god of the bible was an evil false idol?
Rather, he hated what they **did.
And if those people, together, have money changing, fraud, corruption, thievery, child rape, and murder as their group identity then those people SHOULD be hated, right?
This guy is a jew. Don't listen. To jews talk about Jesus. Jesus wasn't a fan of feminine men or thieves so that why he hated the jews
So he hated his own disciples, and himself?
I don't really recall Jesus hating anyone in the Gospels.
