1) Be charitable. If you are not making a comment out of love, you have no reason to make it.

When Christ cleansed that temple out was he being charitable and was it done in LOVE?

Absolutely!

They were stealing from both God and the people, it was Christ's love of both God and his fellow man that compelled him to clean out the Temple of the thieves.

You were saying ...

Exactly.... Jesus, Himself, would be called "unchristian" by many ... LOL ... And in some countries, He would be accused of "hate speech" too ... hoo-boy!

Anyone who wants to promote this idea of being "more christian" than Jesus was in His life on this earth and more "christian" than what the Bible says in God's Word -- is simply trying to promote some version of "hate speech" and silence people from speaking the true Word of God.

Yes. When He cleansed the temple, He was cleansing His Father's house. That shows love for His Father. He was also doing so for the good of Israel. That, too, was showing love.

But the key thing is that this same Christ did a whole lot of other things. He, in fact, had the majority of the Pharisees really, really upset with Him because He offended them (He forgave too much and did good not according to their rules).

He did both. And sometimes in surprising fashion.

But here's one thing: would a person who felt compelled to harshly critique every violation of his beliefs feel compelled to walk into a house of worship and shout out those beliefs?
