Jesus used Semitic Hyperbole to make his points (that was an accepted teaching method in the Semitic cultures of his timeframe).
Cordially,

You seem to have a little anti-Jesus agenda going on right now.
Im sure you have got dozens of answers to your questions, do you ignore them all except the ones you think that you can use againt Jesus and Christians?

Dear Tutor,
Semitic Hyperbole was a teaching technique commonly used in the Semitic Cultures of that time.
Jesus' use of such Hyperbole is consistent with the culture of his time (and would have been understood by his listeners).
Cordially,
John

The poster who said Jesus lied was wrong. As I explained, the Words Of Christ in the Gospels were what He Was Instructing His Apostles.

If you are truly trying to find out about God, go to church. Try getting out more. Quit beating a dead horse. We, I , love God. Deal with it. Get right, or get left.
It always amazes me when someone asks a question, and feels like they have to respond to all of the answers that don't agree with them.

I am not an expert. Could you give an example of an exaggeration.

Jesus did not exaggerate or give half truths. Could you state some examples of this "exaggeration" please?
