Wacky Wednesday--Jesus Was A Sinner

Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes.

~If He wasn’t a sinner, why did so many people want to kill Him?
~He dared to accept worship
~He dared to forgive sins.
~He claimed equality with God.
~He deliberately confused people by hiding His message in parables so that they wouldn’t know the truth and wouldn’t come back to God.
~Jesus empowered corrupt government by allowing himself to be lynched.
~By not overthrowing the government, Jesus allowed them to do all sorts of evil.
~By not overthrowing the government, Jesus confused His disciples about the merits of pacifism.
~By accepting the Cross, Jesus ended an otherwise extremely useful ministry, thus depriving thousands of people of healing, demon exorcism, and moral guidance.
~“No one is sinless, no not even one.” Ergo, Jesus was not.
~He taught people to deny or forsake their family obligations.
~He violated the Sabbath.
~He condoned adultery.
~He associated with unclean people.
