FM,
I thought we went over righteous anger verses hate for hates sake. You can look at something with anger but feel grieved as your very verse points out. So what's in the heart is obviously not anger.
As far as rebuking. It's understandable that a Holy God incarnate should have, and express, strong disagreements with how sinful people acted, including His mother. Honoring they mother and father doesn't mean agreeing with them in everything. If you're talking about His disavowing His mother, reading it in context that obviously isn't the case. Just as reading in context the quotes that reference all the way back to Micah, God comes first then family.
As far as the Resurrection; Jesus very well could have been Spiritually up in heaven on days 1, then headed down to purgatory on days 2-3 then resurrected back on Earth in a new body to easily tie up that alleged loose end.
Mustard seed... really? Vernacular phrases of the time period mean nothing to a literal-ist I guess. All this literal-ism of parables, and missing the point of parables and cherry-picking without context does get tedious does it not?
I thought we were supposed to be talking about Jesus punishing the guilty/innocent?

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
