If this is the case then why do some christians get very angry then people ask questions about there religion when jesus did it in the first place?
And before someone says I'm not the son of God, I'm not a sheep either.

You are so close...
Jesus did not question the beliefs of the Jewish people - He was angry that the system run by the leaders of the humans up to when he was born. The leadership did not DO what they were instructed - by their FREE WILL - were purposely cheated, lied, and worse the people they were leading.
Jesus saw this and came to us, and in the time he had tried to explain concepts that were not being taught. Having rules for preparing food and eating is good - but lets not go to such extremes. People couldn't function, the corrupt moral system was weighing them down. I am not educated - but the only example I have is the money lenders IN church - cheating people IN church. This would make any of us today upset - imagine being the SON of GOD. Not feeding the poor, nursing the sick, etc.; it worn HIM down, seeing,feeling, all of that. He was so sad at the end.
Also about not being a sheep - that's good - excellent. Then you have taken the hard road, as Jesus did, to insure our system does NOT degrade as it did back then.
I hope you can find support, HUMANS are so unpredictable, you can easily loose faith in us.
Oh, about humans, you forgot we have FREE WILL - humans don't like being exposed to the truth - because none of us are as good as we think.
Keep the light of truth focused on us, maybe we'll stop being as bad as we are.

good point> Jesus (being god) knew the hearts of the Jewish clergy, therefore he knew that they were corrupt and wanted power and stature> The same can go for any authority today. we must test and observe their intentions. the apostles taught to "test all things for what is good"

Because Christians are exactly like Jews, who are exactly like Muslims, who are exactly like Buddhists, who are exactly like Hindus... I can go on and on.
Every religion thinks it is the absolute right one. And they can all show you volumes of "truth" to prove their point.
