On one hand Jesus says he came not to bring peace but a sword outlineing many funny things like " if you even look at another woman you have sinned and will be punished" "whosever speaks against holy spirit or ghost will not be forgiven in this age or the one to come" and Matt 12:11 " if a guy comes to a wedding without wedding garments, bind him hand an foot and cast him into outer darkness"
Then you have the good Jesus who forgives prostitues, tells people judge not that yea be judged, love you neighbors as yourself.
Does anyone else see the angry christ and the good christ?

The reason Jesus seems to have several personalities is (I suspect) because the stories about him were written by different people, all of whom (except I believe Mark) never actually met the guy!!!! They are stories handed from teller to teller until they were written, so theymust be at the very least skewed towards the writers views or perceptions.
Bring on the thumbs down you religious types, I can take it!

Well, you left out the part where it says: "Blasphemy against the son of man will be forgiven, but blasphemy against the holy ghost will not be forgiven." This does not mean that if someone has speaked against God in the past, that they have no chance of finding forgiveness! If means that If you receive his spirit, and then turn around and curse him, you will not be forgiven. Only born again Christians can blaspheme the Holy Ghost. Because the only ones who can blaspheme are the ones who where born again and recieved his spirit! Although I may not have quoted the scriture word for word, I know this is fact! Otherwise there would be alot of people who would not be forgiven! It takes a spirit filled person to truly understand the word of God! After all, even Satan knows the word of God! Evil loves nothing more than to twist the meaning of the word around so that people who seek God will become confused or believe they have committed the worst sin of all!

I really think you need to read ALL those Scriptures again cause they sure do not say that in my Bibles ( notice thats more than one). Even pshycologists have examined this kind of characture have have came to the conclusion that NO this was not a disorder but in fact the nmentality of a most intelligent man that has taken some very profound truths and broken it down so that the people of His time and culture and political postion could realte to it an make a more than usefull postion with the present situations they had. No there is not an angry and a mad except for the way you describe it, but many people TRY to reverse and mix things up to try to make a point. Try again.
God Bless

It is blasphemous to ask such a question. Jesus was a great
prophet and prophets do not say anything from their own minds. But follow God's instructions.
Looking at woman is the beginning of lust and perversion. That is why it is forbidden. Holy sprit is arch angel Gabrael
who brought God's message. When the Jews wanted to reject a prophet, they use to allege the holy sprit as their enemy who brought message to wrong person. In fact, he
is an obedient servant of God and cannot act on his own will.
Therefore to accuse him is actually accusing God, Who is
sinless. There is always a good reason for whatever Jesus
said and did.
His wisdom and knowledge were much above ordinary human level and one needs to ponder, before commenting about him.

the recent testomony replaced into to appropriate the previous testomony ie eye for an eye fixed, the teeth for a the teeth - turn the different cheek... this could bypass on continuously. to no remember if God has multiple character sickness my advice could be to ask Him once you assert your prayers??? I actually have a feeling of humour subsequently my above answer. Slan

No. Jesus only advocated an accepted social norms of the time. If we believe and read the bible we too are accepting the norms. It is only the youth of today have personality disorders.

He came to offer forgiveness and union with God. But for those who reject his mercy and wish to remain in sin his warnings left little doubt about how seriously God hates the way sin ravages everything in its midst.

i dont think he had a personality disorder. i think that the bible was written by men so it cant be accurate.
but who knows. i honestly look at the bible as just a book.

Hey, you just have to ignore the stuff that doesn't make sense.
It'll get cut out or rewritten at the next editorial meeting.

The ultimate is God had mercy. Without his mercy, the world will end.
