The God Syndrome . . . . Have you ever seen anyone who never makes mistakes . . . . that learned anything? That is the greatest downfall of the bible, at no time in the bible does jesus ever make a mistake. Look at American cinema, the characters often are all perfect, beautiful or handsome, and never error, always win . . . . this is a prescription for tyranny . . . . people who are conditioned to believe this, will be no better than a sheep in their thinking. All of these images of what authority should look like either in the form of a "god" or a ruler of a nation as either perfect or a "chosen one" are harmful and often it gives rulers arrogance and the belief that they can do no wrong. This is also why monotheism and the concept of a "perfect" god is so oppressive and evil.
.
Experience teaches, and if you never make mistakes, you learn nothing, meaning, you are either one lying ass bastard for claiming you never error, or a complete ignoramus who never learns anything new.

John 2:14-15
And He found in the temple those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables.
And He made a scourge of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.
Those that sold animals were providing a service to those who came a distance and needed an animal to sacrifice in the temple.
The money changers changed money for people who came to worship and pay the tithe and only had foreign money.
Their functions were legal and sanctioned by the Levitical priests.
He drove the money changers out of the temple by beating them with a "scourge of cords." Assault and Battery.
He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. Destruction of Property.
Was this behavior by Jesus a sin?
Next time they have Bingo at your church, whip the people out of the Hall and turn over the tables and see if they call the police.

Just like the politicians in Washington who are above the law, so to the Christians believe that their "god" was above the law, perfect, and that there must be some unseen reason for their "god" to do it. It is a CULT, and cults never accept criticism against their leaders.
