Jesus would beat modern Christians to death with his bare hands. I guess that's why he's supposed to be wrathful when he returns.

Eh people overblow what Jesus did to the moneychangers and merchants in the temple. Yeah he made a whip and used it to drive the animals out, and he flipped over the tables scattering the money everywhere. But he never tried to to hurt people, just get them out of the temple and disrupt all the commerce going on.

Jesus Christ Superstar's temple scene is probably the most accurate recreation of that passage as written in the Bible. He trashed all the stuff, flipped tables and sent everyone else away. He wouldn't have beaten people to death, that's not the message he preached or the actions he took.
