It's simple if the Bible consisted of John 3:16 and nothing else. Unfortunately, for you, there's the rest of those pesky passages in there.

Heaven, that's like Valhalla, except for pussies, right?
LMAO Christianity, according to ZappyGetard. LMAO
C'mon, Oliver; don't tell me that you haven't at least wished that there was more to existence than your pathetic life.
Reminds me of a story:
Jesus was walking outside the village when he came upon a crowd of villagers hurling insults and defamations at a woman before them. Jesus went between the woman and the crowd and asked what the controversy was about. Someone in the crowd called out that the woman was prostituting herself in the village, and that they were going to stone her to death. Jesus said: "Let one among you who is without sin cast the first stone." A woman in the crowd picked up a stone and hurled it at the fornicator. Then the rest of the crowd began to follow suit. Jesus ducked out of the way, and stood, horrified, as the crowd stoned the woman to death, leaving a crumpled and beaten body before them. Then they walked away, back to the village, except the woman in the crowd who had cast the first stone. Jesus looked at her and said: "Dammit Mother, sometimes you really piss me off!"
"Go forth and sin no more" is what the people Jesus saved were told. Jesus did not redefine sin from the OT, he himself remaineda jew after all. What he did was offer forgivness of sins but he did expect us to try and sin no more. As for judgement he reminds us that this is Gods job but we should try to get sin beaten back. Rightous indignation is fine. He ran the money changers from the temple as that was forbiden. Right and wrong did not change only consequences.
He was god, according to Christinity, he could run the money changers from the Temple, but he told his followers to judge not, turn the other cheek and love others as you love yourself.
He was a rabbi so he could enforce temple rules but there is no toleration of sin.
Do you fully understand what it implies to call Jesus a rabbi with Temple authority? The office did not become official till after the time of Jesus.
Do you realize that he was rebelling against the practices of the Temple, he wasn't enforcing Temple rules?
Jesus more appropriately would be a Sage.

Yeah i do. Ill stick with my statement.
Perhaps the poster is umfamilar with the 3 offices of Christ. Or maybe unaware that rabbi means teacher?
The poster is aware that rabbi is a mistranslation by Christians, rabbi did not mean teacher at the time of Jesus. Moreh was the word for teacher.
I don't think you are too aware, either, a rabbi is not the same as a priest, prophet or king.

It says, 'Neither do I condemn you' in this particular case, in my book! Radical stuff for a rabbi?
It always amazes me the length some will go to split a hair. The most literal translation of rabbi is master or great one. The title also encompasses the idea of teacher. The speculation that as a title was not used in the time of Christ was dispelled after the discovery of an inscription pre 70 AD on an ossuary. The term didaskalos (teacher) which is the NT word used for Christ is the Greek equivalent of Rabbi.

I did not say it was. I merely speculated by what you were saying about Christ that you might be unaware of who the Bible claims him to be.
Also a link that may help clear up some meanings.

Sorry. You see, I can comprehend human beings who talk about the message of Jesus, but I cannot comprehend Jesus himself. I mean, Jesus according to the Bible was a good man. A philosopher. A poet. A man of many words, but when I think about Jesus I think about all the judgmental Christians who have twisted the good nature of Jesus' messages and have used those words to condemn people. Unfortunately, the notion of "only God can judge me" is only suitable to those who believe in the teachings of Christ. With respect to forgiveness I'll quote the following phrase: "God forgives, I don't."
