I am not a Joel Olsteen fan, but this type of disruptive behavior in someone else’s worship service is not Christ-like.

Please re-read post 10 and 29. The clearing of the Temple has already been dealt with.

In short, the clearing of the Temple by Jesus has nothing to do with people from another church entering someone else’s church’s worship service for the sole purpose of disrupting/confronting the speaker - unless you don’t believe in freedom of religion. Would you personally go to someone else’s church, which was minding its own business, and deliberately disrupt it because you disagreed with their doctrine?

Jesus had every authority to be in the Temple:

1. Humanly speaking He was a Jewish male.
2. He was God in human form. He has authority over His Temple.
3. The money changers were not supposed to be conducting business on the Temple grounds.
4. The money changers were cheating/stealing the people.

The people from this outside church were not members of the church they disrupted. They had no leadership authority within the church they disrupted. Even if they had a legitimate concern, it was the wrong place and time to do what they did.
