Good point, but keep in mind that Jesus didn't give it a lot of pretense. He basically just walked by the temple one day, saw them using the grounds for vile acts, and then braided a whip on the spot and took it to them.
It was a spontaneous act, and he acted alone. The reason the money changers didn't confront him that day is because they knew they were in the wrong by desecrating the temple as they did.
Jesus was vindicated not because they were changing money, but because of where they were changing money. If they wanted to do that, that's their choice, but for those who came to Temple to worship, the presence of the money changers defiles the purpose of the Father's House.
Jesus didn't dare walk into the Roman Pagan shrines and do the same thing, nor did he destroy their properties. He largely ignored them in their places of work and instead asked to be invited into their homes to break bread and offer a shoulder to cry on as he forgave them of their sins.
He confronted the pagans in their homes, not out in the open just to make a spectacle.
Yes, they defiled God’s House & Law. What are we to think of pornography, which defiles the sanctity of the body, the Temple of the Holy Ghost? Or sodomite books, the sodomy which God called an abomination, and “men with men, working that which is filthy”, the same crime for which HE destroyed cities? Or ouija boards and crystals, which are direct sins against the First Commandment? God has no problem with our destruction of such things. “But because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold, nor hot, I will begin to vomit thee out of my mouth... Such as I love, I rebuke and chastise. Be zealous therefore, and do penance.” Apocalypse (Revelation) 3:16, 19 🔥 📚
