Context: on the holiest day of the year for the Jewish religion the temple (church) had become a marketplace. Do you think a normal religious leader would sit idly by while people are selling animals, and food and other wares in a church like it's the local walmart? There's just anger and ways of expressing that anger. He was justified in telling them what they were doing wrong and correcting the disrespect they were showing in a house meant to honor God.

Well, I always tend to remember that this account was written by man so.......and really, if the account was taken in a proper context, with this wrongdoing, some fire and brimstone should have been raining down

What scripture are you referring to when you say violence was wrong according to Him?

Hebrews 10:30, Galatians 5:19-21, Romans 14:10-13, Romans 12:17-21, James 1:19-20...some of those are "Venegence is mine,saith the Lord" verses.....but the action in the temple really contradicts James 1:19-20

If vengence is the Lord's, than what's wrong with the Lord clearing out the temple and exacting His vengence?

Yes, "the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God."
But Jesus clearing out the temple is not the wrath of man, it's the wrath of God.

He's a human
And humans, by nature, sin
It's just a matter of being aware and repenting for that sin, and doing as little of it as possible

Jesus did not sin, He became human true but he is also God.
