Isn't Jesus inconsistant?

[polonius]

Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. —Matthew 10:34

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. —John 16:33

You appear to be confusing the word "lethal" with the word "consistent." Lethality has nothing necessarily to do with inconsistency. Jesus taught love, empathy, calmness, forgiveness, meekness; yet when angered he beat people who were desecrating the temple. He called Pharisees, 'Children of Hell." That He never killed anyone is irrelevant.

Sorry to say but I don't think you really understand the Bible which teaches that those who sin as the merchants did would suffer eternal death. In purging the temple of the desecrations they brought, Jesus saved their lives and their souls. But if you wish to see this action as inconsistent, then so be it.

Ro 11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off
