"My God, Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me?" Was Jesus Really Sinless?
#1
"My God, Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me?" Was Jesus Really Sinless?
We are told that Jesus obeyed his father. This is what he said about himself. No, this is what was written about him. Like Pythegorus before him, Jesus left no writings of his own that we know about. But was he really the obedient son?

 
Matthew 15: 24
He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel."
 
Then he gives hks disciples the proverbial great commission to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
 
We are told that god does not change. But, clearly here, somebody changed. If it wasn't god who changed, then it must have been Jesus. If Jesus was only sent to Israel )notice it doesn't say to Israel first. It says only to Israel_ then takes it upon himself to go to the gentiles, how can he have been obedient?
 
Numbers 15:32-36
 Now while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day. 33 And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation. 34 They put him under guard, because it had not been explained what should be done to him.
35 Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man must surely be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.” 36 So, as the Lord commanded Moses, all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him with stones, and he died.
 
Keeping the sabbath must be very important to the Lord if the penalty for violating it is death.  But Jesus taught his disciples to think of the sabbath as as a recommendation they could disregard when it was inconvenient.
 
Matthew 12:1
At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick some heads of grain and eat them.
 
I guess gathering stiks is more offensive to god than gathering corn.
 
Jesus set a precedent of giving lip service to honoring the scriptures while comkpletely disregarding their practice that the church still follows today.
Matthew 5:18
"For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished
 
Had all been accomplished when he and his disciples gathered the corn?
 
Matthew 5:19
Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
 
So Jesus must be the least in his own kingdom.

Is it any wonder that in the end his god (not his father) forsook him?
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
