Why Didn’t Jesus Come as a Woman?

NERDINESS:

If Jesus was about tearing down all of of the cultural barriers that kept people from God why didn't he come as a female? If God really wanted to challenge the patriarchal culture of his day would it have been better for Jesus to have come as a female instead of male? 

Did Jesus Justify Violence by Cleansing the Temple?

NERDINESS:

I've heard many people use the story of Jesus cleansing the temple to say that Jesus approves of violence. It seems that violence isn't part of the Prince of Peace's character, but some translations like the King James Version make it seem as if Jesus strikes humans with the whip. How should I read these verses?

"My almost-three-year-old asks every day if we can go to church. Thank you, Woodland Hills, and all the Heroes Gate volunteers for creating such a great environment for kids. My husband and I met at WH six years ago and now our son counts down the days until we get to go again. My heart could burst."
