Well I have a simple line of thought for the OP...
I can prove Jesus was sinner...
can you disprove that he was not a sinner

I appreciate that you are enjoying the discussion my friend,
but I cannot take credit for work that belongs to Christ.
The words here are his, and the work represented are his.
With Love,
Your Brother

Jesus didn't die for us, he brought his own destruction, thats what happens when you are challenging Rome and creating your little "plot." No one asked him to die for us and if the five kings weren't present he would have reacted differently at his cruxifiction.
He died for 'challenging Rome'?? That's interesting, Pontious Pilate didn't find any fault with Jesus.

I do not believe Jesus performed any miracles, but that the miracles were nothing more than his teachings in action. The tales may have been exaggerated a little but they all have a perfectly reasonable explanation if you learn what Christ taught.
Absurd a hostile source, the Talmud, likewise records Jesus's miracles as well but attributes them to Him being a crafty "magician" rather than the Son of God.
Where you there? Did you see the miracles?
Whether he performed miracles or not his message was true. Furthermore, stage magicians have already replicated the "Miracles" of Christ, yet NO ONE has replicated his message, that we are all Children of God. That was his greatest miracle.
With Love,
Your Brother

It what you say were true then why didn't Pilate find any fault with Jesus?
At daybreak the council of the elders of the people, both the chief priests and the teachers of the law, met together, and Jesus was led before them. 67 “If you are the Messiah,” they said, “tell us.” Jesus answered, “If I tell you, you will not believe me, 68 and if I asked you, you would not answer. 69 But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the mighty God.” 70 They all asked, “Are you then the Son of God?” He replied, “You say that I am.” 71 Then they said, “Why do we need any more testimony? We have heard it from his own lips.”

Jesus of Nazareth does not give out a direct answer when asked if he is King of Isreal, he cunningly avoids answering it. The Emperor appoints Kings not people themselves, therefore he was commiting treason.

The trial of Jesus was brief. He had led an armed revolt against Rome and had called himself the King of the Jews. Pilate ordered his crucifixion, along with all the other rebels who had been captured.
8When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid; 9And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. 10Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee? 11Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin. 12And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.
reply to post by NOTurTypicalAnd the second instance is when Pilate asks Jesus "Are you the king of the Jews?", and Jesus doesn't affirm He is, He states "You have said so".
There is no claim made by Jesus that He is the "King of the Jews", that also is a lie.
"And on the next day, a great multitude that was come to the festival day, when they had heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, "Hosanna, blessed be the king of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord, peace in heaven and glory on high."
"And Jesus found a young ass and sat upon it, as it is written: Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold thy King cometh, sitting on an ass' colt."
Jesus didn't lead an armed revolt against Rome, and Jesus did NOT claim He was the "King of the Jews", both statements you've made are incorrect.
"Do you see that we prevail nothing? Behold, the whole world is goes after him."
"And they found not what to do to him, for all the people were very attentive to hear him."
Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. And the name of the servant was Malchus."
It was a murder.

It was a man called Jesus of Nazareth, who tried to create his own little plot, which failed in the end.
Originally posted by NOTurTypical reply to post by naeem11111So other people called Jesus the King of the Jews? But that's not what you said, you said Jesus claimed to be the King of the Jews. Jesus never made that statement. You also said Jesus "led" an armed revolt, that's not true either. So what if Peter uses his sword, Jesus tells him to put his sword "away".
"He that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one."
Both of your statements are complete fabrications. But that's all smoke and mirrors, you originally said Jesus was killed because He was a "threat to Rome". This is demonstratively false because Pilate declares that he found "no fault" with Jesus.

Have you the divine right to set the mark where by God himself counts time?
Christ's death was not the end of the plot, it was the beginning.
Watch.

Why did the people call him the king of the Jews if he isnt one?
Regarding the revolt;
"He that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one."
Why is he telling those who have no weapons to get one by selling their clothes? (must be an important job if you have to sell your clothes)
Yet, he was still killed, even though persuaded in the end it was HIS decision.
Which was the right choice when Jesus dies within a short span compared to the average of 2/3 days for a normal person. Why did he die so quickly at his cruxifiction? (something fishy was going on and Pilate was aware of this hence the spearing)
