Jesus went around in Galilee,purposely staying away from Judea because the Jews there were waiting to take his life. But when the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near,Jesus' brothers said to him,"You ought to leave here and go to Judea, so that your disciples may see the miracles you do. No one who wants to become a public figure acts in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world."For even his own brothers did not believe in him.
Therefore Jesus told them, "The right time for me has not yet come;for you any time is right.The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that what it does is evil. You go to the Feast.I am not yet going up to this Feast, because for me the right time has not yet come."Having said this, he stayed in Galilee.
However, after his brothers had left for the Feast, he went also, not publicly, but in secret. (John 7:1-10)

How many Christians have overlooked this verse? The footnote regarding John 7:8 says
“Some early manuscripts do not have yet”. The word ‘yet’ was added to later manuscripts to cover up the lie.

The Bible says that Jesus was a sinner. Compare the two verses below:
John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. (Mark 1:4)
Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. (Matthew 3:13)
As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. (Matthew 3:16)
Since Jesus was baptized, this means he was a sinner!

Jesus was a murderer
And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. (Revelations 2:23)
Jesus was a hater
If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. (Luke 14:26)

Jesus did not bring peace
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. (Matthew 10:34)

Jesus Taught the Death Penalty
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned (John 15:1-6)

Everyone will be salted with fire. (Mark 9:49)

look! an idiot trying to pass off his lack of faith on us believers, by changing the syntax of the scriptures.
yes, you found a flaw in some of the old scriptures. a word...a single word was left out. that does not speak well of the transcriptionist, but it does not invalidate the bible.
as for the baptism, Jesus had john the baptist baptize him, to show His disciples and followers how easily sins can be washed away with faith in Him and the Father.
got a hard question there, or are you just going to report me because i use my free will to think you are an idiot....red flag me, if you will, but my instinct tells me i am right.

Jesus Taught About Not Doing Your Deeds In Public, For That Is All The Reward You Will Get. The Pharisees, And Priest Prayed Publicly, When They Knew They Would Be Looked Upon With Favor In Men’s Eyes. Jesus Taught That Our Prayer Should Be In Private. Not For The Glory Of Man, But The Glory Of God.
Jesus Went Where He Was Needed. And Frequently Seeked Time Alone With The Lord. Read It Again. Most Of The Time He Would Teach Them, About Humbling Themselves, And Teaching The Law OF Moses. And Then He Would Leave To Find Separation From Everyone.
Bearing In Mind Your Statement About The Word "Yet" Being Added. It Probably Wasn’t A Common Term Used When The Bible Was Originally Translated. And Being Written In Various Languages Such As Hebrew, And Greek. And Latin. Words And Statements Have Different Meanings.
It Does Not Mean He Was A Sinner, Baptism Is The Outward Sign Of Faith. Its Before Friend, And Family. It Is A Way Of Showing Your Commitment To Your Faith. Baptism Does Not Mean He Was A Sinner. It Means He Was Following Gods Rules. He Did Not Need Baptism, As John Said. For John Said It Should Be Jesus Baptizing Him.
Revelations Is The Book Of End Times. Judgment Will Come And The Consequences Are Clear. There Is A Heaven And A Hell, So Also Must There Be Mercy And Judgment.
Jesus Was Not A Hater. He Was Merely Pointing Out Another Reference To Not Being Able To Serve Tow Things, You Cannot Love The World And God, Because Then The World Is Like Your Master, And So Is God. And You Cannot Hate The World, Because Being A Christian Is Loving The World Through Jesus Eyes. We Can Not Love What People Do, Drinking, Smoking. Ect. But We Are Told To Love Our Enemies, Which Mean Even Though They're Actions Are Not Ok, We Must Look To The Soul Underneath And Love Them For Who The Are. Not What They Are.
By Sword, He Meant It Will Be A Sacrifice On Our Part To Follow Him Whole Heartedly. People Will Persecute Us For Our Faith. That Is What He Meant By The Sword.
If A Vine Dies, And Withers, Then It Will Fall From The Vine. One Dead Branch Can Disease A Whole Tree. So The Gardener Removes It Before It Creates A Rot. That Is Not The Death Penalty. That Is The Consequence Of Our Faith Dying Out. Remaining With The Vine And We Will Live Healthily And Happily.
"Salted With Fire" Read Acts 2 And Then Read A Parallel To It. Found In Mathew 3:11(Spoken By John The Baptist). By Fire They Mean That It Is The Tongues Of Fire Brought On The Day Of Pentecost. John Baptized With Water. Jesus Brought The Fire Of The Holy Spirit After He Died And Rose From The Grave.
Jesus' Last Words He Said Were "Abba (Father) Forgive Them, For They Know Not What They Do."
He Wasn’t Saying That Killing Him Wasn’t Right. Because Without Death, There Could Be No Life Reborn. He Was Asking For The Forgiveness Of Our Sins.
Being Forgiven Of Sins Is Simple. I Believe Knowing You Have Found All Of Those Verses On Your Own. You Could Look These Up.
John 3:16
Romans 3:23
John 14:6
Acts 3: 19
John 1:12
Accepting Jesus Into Your Heart Is As Easy As Saying a Little Prayer.
"Lord God, Thank You For Sending Your Son Jesus Christ To Die On The Cross For Me. I Believe Jesus Is Your Son, And That He Died On The Cross And Rose Again On The Third Day. I Know That I Am A Sinner. Please Forgive Me Of My Sins That I Have Committed Against You And My Fellow Man. Help Me To Follow You With My Entire Heart, Mind, Body And Soul. Help Me To Keep Your Commandments, And To Learn More About You."
Its That Simple. If A Blind Man Believes There Is A Ground Below Us, And A Sky Above Us. How Much Easier Is It For Us To Trust There Is A God, And Trust In Jesus, When We Can See All The Many Wonderful And Glorious Things God Has Created For Us.
God Bless You. I Understand How Easily People Can Take Things Out Of Context. And I Pray You Do Not Feel My Statements Confrontational. Yet Pray You Find Them Inspirational, And Informational

Are you wanting the truth or just trying to prove what you believe? That Jesus was a liar? Looks to me like you picked out certain verses to try and prove a point. His own brothers did not believe him for they were spiritually dead, as you are. Find the connecting scripture to what you "singled" out and you will find the Truth. But, then again, if Jesus was a liar, the whole Word of God is a lie.So, what hope are you left with in this messed up world?

Jesus son of Mary was one of the most honorable prophets of God (one of the top 5) and the Bible was a true Book of God, this is what Muslims believe, and what happened after Jesus PBUH is not his responsibility but the responsibility of who did it like Paul and Constantine.

Look at your starting premise. Read the verses you quoted carefully. Your opening statement falls flat on it face.
Well what can we expect from someone who follows a violent religion based on teachings by a plagiarist, a polygamist and a warmonger.

it will be interesting to see what happens when you meet Jesus.
you also forgot about throwing into the sea with a millstone around the neck anyone who would harm a child or lead them astray.
by the way, the only thing that will not be forgiven is turning against the Holy Spirit.
Have a nice day...

A little advice here which you should carry with you because it is valid in every aspect of living: If you do'nt have anything good to say , don't say anything. The wise will see you for the fool you are and the fools will "attach" themselves to you.
Stop trying to convince yourself about things that are taken out of context. If your faith in whatever you believe in is so strong, what are doing scrutinising other religious books?
Anyways God loves you, but I pity your parents.

Do you see what the Christians are doing all over the world because of the Bible? There are so many Christian based welfare community organisations created because Christians care for fellow human being. Majority of Christians are striving to have the same servant heart as Jesus, sacrificing their time and money in order to help the poor, disabled and unfortunate. As Jesus commanded us in the Bible to love one another.
I will show you my faith by my works and deeds. I hope you can too.
