Yep, platted a whip, a definite assault weapon, surely not defensive.

And, he did kick some serious arse, turned over tables, went ballistic. And it worked; he got their attention...

Nothing in scripture indicates that Jesus actually struck anyone with the whip,
chances are he just intimidated/drove the money lenders who surely knew what a whip could do to them.


And Jesus wasnt 'carrying'...he had to go to the trouble of assembling a whip.

yet some folks seem to think he was an Indiana Jones...
