Would it have been possible for Jesus to have sinned?

ummm, do we know that it actually offends him or is he suggesting that it is not part of His plan? hmmmm

Since there is nowhere in the bible that you will find your reference to "7 deadly sins" (as you would know if you read it) ...the answer is no.

The reason for the Temple incident was that the half shekel, which was scarce, was the coin used for religious purposes and the only coin permissible in the Temple. The money changers at the entrance of the Temple were like scalpers who had cornered the coins and getting a good buck for them. The priests seemed to be in on it so it was corruption. The priests probably sold those coins to those money changes at the end of Temples services at a good profit.

Jesus saw this as an outrage and got a whip and drove the moneychangers from the Temple and upturned the tables.

really? how do you know that?

Why get yourself so twisted over a myth? Your time and efforts would be better spent learning physics.

. . .
BTW, is wrath--the kind displayed by Jesus in the Temple--one of the seven deadly sins? If so, is God offended by it?

I didn't say nor imply that the seven deadly sins were biblically based. I'm interested in knowing whether you think wrath is a sin, and therefore is Jesus guilty of that sin.

If your requirements are sola scriptura, will you please address Galatians 5: 19-21:

"19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. "

Did Jesus have of an outburst of wrath at the Temple, and thus is he guilty of a sin? This is a simple question.

This passage, besides being irrelevant, does not further your argument whatsoever. Unless your argument is that wherever there can be a contradiction, the Bible will supply one.

Let's consider Mark 3: 1-6.

"1Another time he went into the synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. 2Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath. 3Jesus said to the man with the shriveled hand, "Stand up in front of everyone."

4Then Jesus asked them, "Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?" But they remained silent.

5He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored. 6Then the Pharisees went out and began to plot with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus."

There he goes again, flying off the handle. "He looked at them in anger." I'm beginning to see a pattern here. I think he needs to deal with some anger management issues, seeing that we've established wrath as a sin which will keep one from inheriting the kingdom.

He needs to learn the power of persuasion. Right makes might, not the other way around.

I look forward to your persuasive arguments as well.
