Matthew 21:12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves.
This indicates to me that Mr. Jesus went right into the temple, and lifted up and caused mayhem among the persons in the temple due to his disregard for their activities. This likely did not stop the practice of money changing, if that even took place in that day and age. I have my doubts truthfully.
But this is an act of civil disobedience. True he did not like that this might have been going on, but to actually disrupt the activity shows that he thinks himself to be a far more stage worthy than the others in the midst. I am not yet an expert on the jesus story and may or may not pursue this as a way to prove my own beliefs and dispell what I believe to be the heresy and impurity and evil of the gospels, but wait and see. It is not out of the question as a pursuit of faith and trust.
So like it or not, jesus was an anarchist. And this makes sense in that he traveled in his own band of disciples and did not exactly fit into the events of the day.
I do not feel that our God and Creator would make an anarchist our 'messiah' or our leader. This just makes no sense at all.
