I don't believe there is any instance in the bible where Jesus took the whip to anyone...
he whipped the establishment if that's what you mean? alot of Jewish still pissed about that btw.
John 2:15 So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple area, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.
(John 2:13-16) 13 Now the passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 And he found in the temple those selling cattle and sheep and doves and the money brokers in their seats. 15 So, after making a whip of ropes, he drove all those with the sheep and cattle out of the temple, and he poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. 16 And he said to those selling the doves: “Take these things away from here! Stop making the house of my Father a house of merchandise!”
(Matthew 21:12-14) 12 And Jesus entered into the temple and threw out all those selling and buying in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. 13 And he said to them: “It is written, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but YOU are making it a cave of robbers.” 14 Also, blind and lame persons came up to him in the temple, and he cured them.
You're still not answering my question. Let's say that angels did have sex with human women. How in the hell did they create offspring from sex? These are two different species. To create offspring through sexual reproduction, you have to be of the same species. How can two different species create offspring??????

Are you saying that god created angels with sexual reproductive organs? If so, why?

To those of you who say that angels cannot procreate with human women, that's true; but only in Heaven. The fallen angels deny God's kingdom and are in rebellion. They can very much impregnate human women.
Unless they beat you up first....

And if they became fully human, why did their offspring not also become fully human instead of hybrids? If they weren't fully human, how did they procreate with human women? It doesn't work, unless there is genetic manipulation involved, which implies advanced technology...
edit on 16-4-2012 by Hydroman because: (no reason given)
They are both cats, and they produce a cat. Angels and humans mating would be like humans mating with chimpanzees. It won't work.

Tigers can mate with lions ...they are two different species but they can have sex and produce offspring.
Being omniscient, why did he allow it in the first place? That doesn't make any sense..

Jehovah the Creator stopped these wicked Angels being able to materialise into human males at the Flood...this then made it impossible for the demons to have sex with human females.
Thank you Jane.

Jesus might have been showing "righteous indignation" concerning the House of his Father Jehovah being turned into a shopping mall...full of dodgy sellers fleecing the masses with debunked goods. However he wasn't a man of violence. He no doubt used the whip to stir up the animals and drive them and their owners out of the temple courtyards.
(John 2:13-16) 13 Now the passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 And he found in the temple those selling cattle and sheep and doves and the money brokers in their seats. 15 So, after making a whip of ropes, he drove all those with the sheep and cattle out of the temple, and he poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. 16 And he said to those selling the doves: “Take these things away from here! Stop making the house of my Father a house of merchandise!”
Luke, Matthew and Mark make no mention of Jesus whipping people or animals...they just shorten the account by saying he overturned the tables they were dealing on and threw them out.
(Matthew 21:12-14) 12 And Jesus entered into the temple and threw out all those selling and buying in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. 13 And he said to them: “It is written, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but YOU are making it a cave of robbers.” 14 Also, blind and lame persons came up to him in the temple, and he cured them.
It would be hard to imagine blind and lame men approaching a Jesus if he was out of control or overly in a rage subsequently having used a whip to excess.
It was his words that did the most damage and the fact that he was performing miracles.... Caiphus his family and the Jewish hierarchy were on a "nice little earner" at the Temple and this Jesus was becoming a nuisance - time to get rid, so they plotted his downfall.
A few days later they had Jesus arrested and executed at the hands of their Roman masters, who they normally despised. Jesus whole trial and execution made a mockery of both the Jewish & Roman judicial system. If Jesus had in anyway acted viciously towards anyone they would have surely used that evidence against him. As it was even Pilate could find no wrong in him.
Thus came to pass the fulfillment of the prophecy in Genesis 3:15 that Satan and "his" seed or organisation - false worship and governmental authorities - bruised Jesus (God's seed) in the heel.

First question:
Why are we using/going to to secular sources to define Biblical terms?
(Deuteronomy 11:26-28) . . .See, I am putting before YOU today blessing and malediction: 27 the blessing, provided YOU will obey the commandments of Jehovah YOUR God that I am commanding YOU today; 28 and the malediction, if YOU will not obey the commandments of Jehovah YOUR God and YOU do turn aside from the way about which I am commanding YOU today, so as to walk after other gods whom YOU have not known
Would angels and humans be of the same genus?
