But anger is a "sin" none the less. The claim was that the Christian man-god never 'sinned'....but he did.
Ok. We can agree to disagree. My belief- the reason behind the anger, what we do when we are angry. This is what makes it sin.
Example- Six year old boy has a little league baseball game. Husband agrees to meet wife and son at the ballpark. He gets there late and extremely intoxicated. He's loud and yelling at the kids and coaches. Wife is angry and quietly insists he go wait in the car. Is she sinning? I say, no.
Different ending: Rather than insist he go to the car she beats him up and down with a baseball bat. Now, she is sinning in her anger.
He looked around at them in anger,
deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts
Mark 3:5
On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple area and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves, and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple.
Mark 11:15-18
And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables
John 2: 13-15
Different ending: Rather than insist he go to the car she beats him up and down with a baseball bat. Now, she is sinning in her anger.

I see!
And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables.....
So if the wife IS sinning in beating the husband up and down with a bat, why isn't Jesus sinning by beating the money changers up and down with a whip?

Where does it say Jesus was beating the money changers up?
