No - "I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world." (John 12:47)
Yes - "He [Jesus] is the one ordained by God to be judge of the living and the dead." (Acts 10:42)

Here's what I understand, I can read a verse and view it objectively which a Christian can't do since it would ruin their little construct of the world!

Jesus was a man who lived over 2000years ago. He was declared a Deity four hundred years after his death. The New Testament Bible was written over four hundred years after his death. There are hundreds of books written by men about Jesus which are not included in the New Testament. The books included,are those which promote the theories of the christian philosophy. Many books written which dispute, accepted givens are viewed as heretic,and false. All of it is a "pick and choose what we wish to fit" procedure. The old saying, " Tell a lie often and long enough,and it becomes the truth". After the fact Jesus was a teacher, and a man who promoted ' Love thy Neighbor' and social justice for all, he has been USED by organizations to elevate themselves under his name, to extort for money and power.the very people of whom the teacher Jesus,sought to empower. If there is a God, surly on their last day he will punish them for the abuse of these peoples... SOLOMON

The first time Jesus came, He came to be the suffering servant who would offer up his sinless life as a sacrifice for sinners who would by faith accept His payment in their stead.
When He comes again at the end of this age He will return as a conquering King who will judge the living and the dead. Just because the second coming is not mentioned in those verses doesn't mean that it isn't a part of what God is telling humanity. It's like reading a mystery novel and claiming that the author made a mistake after having only read half of the book and failing to see how what happens later on reconciles the contradiction.
You have to read the Bible with discernment in order to understand each statement in the whole context of God's Word. Cherry picking verses that when taken alone seem to say two different things as a means of discrediting the Bible is not wise. When the Lord comes again He isn't going to be asking people whether or not the Bible met their standards of being easy to read and having no "apparent" contradictions.
He is going to want to know what they did about their sin problem. Did they turn away from their sins and by faith accept His sacrifice or did they continue in the sin of Adam wanting to be "like God" in their own minds and ruling over their own lives according to their own understanding of what was best instead of acknowledging Jesus as their LORD and Savior.

He changed into accessible in His Universe searching for the proper and best mission round and He got here across earth. for this reason He got here and took us on and in accordance to three gained. i wager He went out and not using a whimper meaning He gained i wager. From what it sounds like He further the total element on Himself purposely and changed into puzzling set to no longer enable anybody out of it. Like He had to target this element as a thanks to conquer some personal nuances that had him challenged. contained in the proper right here we are, the outcome 1000's of years later questioning how this kind of element would were actual or no longer. Did he choose the international? for sure He did. He judged it to be the right type of mission for Him to convince the total Universe of His means.

if you know the bible, you'll understand it better.
old testament is the product of new testament.
remember when you read the bible, it is not dated as, november 22 of 2007.
jEUSS came to save the lost.
at the end of TIME..he is the HIGH priest and JUDGE.
that WHY GOD isn't the JUDGE..he pass that responsiblity to JESUS.
who became a man, so he knows our vises, weakness, ect..for he lived among us for 33=1/3? 1/2 years.
so he experience family death ..his step dad.
he witness roman injustice..as well satan in men injustice, he witness piety self righteous judgement too.
as well rejection, persecution, ect.
anyway, if you read the last book..you'll say..we're living in it now...no..not yet.
surely it will come, in your lifetime.
so..pay attention to road marker, or time marker/signpost of the ocming of Christ. no man can serve 2 masters..MONEY and GOD..>GOD is our provider..healer, and savior.

No, it's another misconception made by someone who doesn't know scripture. Jesus DIDN'T come to judge the world. He came to be born, live a godly example, and then die for our sins. When he comes the next time it will be to judge.

Jesus was never a judge nor did he come to judge the world.
about 300 to 500 years after Christ Christianity was in such a mess that the various different Bishops met together and wrote the Bible.
It was destined to be one standard, good for Christians' to get money for support and to keep the power at the Pope and Bishop level.
If you read the bible and not have a clear head u will be confused.
I believe in god but not in religions.
Christ was one of the best spiritual teachers ever born.
rise above the brain-washing.
