Yes - Jesus said, "All who came before me are thieves and robbers." (John 10:7)
No - Jesus said, "Among those born of women none is greater than John." (Luke 7:28) Also Matthew 11:11
WHICH IS IT OR THIS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF A BIBLE BLUNDER?

In this context I believe he was talking about false prophets claiming to be the messiah. Sometimes you have to consider that Jesus was in flesh and blood, and when he made an absolute statement like that, within the context, it shouldn't be taken as all encompasing. I'm sure if we kept track of all the things we said day to day, we might get confused and think we were contradicting ourselves, but with proper context we can keep things simple.

John 10:7 doesnt say that, read the bible more closely.

John never said he was the way. He was pointing to Jesus. He was a disciple not a false deceiver

No contradiction, Jesus clearly says you can be a thief or a robber and still become great

So, by your question (if I can assume it is serious) are you suggesting that you actually there was a person known as...John The Baptist?

Didn't Jesus go to john,
therefore jesus came before john
so therefore, it doesn't contradict itself,

There are no "bible blunders" - he didn't say John was PERFECT... he just said he was great.
