Jesus, an immoral hypocrite? You've got to be kidding, but then again those who do not seek the truth will never find it, right?
The bible's clear about christians wasting their time casting their pearls before swine. So, I'll leave the board after this response, unless I find it necessary to respond to another inane post. I'd suggest that you might try humbling yourself before the Creator and see whether or not Christ is who He claims to be. Remember, no one else had the power to forgive sins and then proved it by healing the individuals in question.
If you want to sound off, enjoy, but you'll never find the answer to why mankind has gone so awry, nor will you find the answer for your own soul. Bottomline: He that sins becomes a slave to sin. Only Jesus Christ has the power and authority to cleanse and heal an individual from his sin. See 1 John 1:9.

Mitch,

Without Christ and what He accomplished by the cross, the world would have already self destructed. Thanks to Jesus Christ's love for mankind, He has withheld the end of days in order to save as many as possible. Any morality that exists comes only from the one who created it. Without Christ, the creator of the moral laws, there would be no morality.

Mankind's Morality....

>>>>Without Christ, there is no morality.
That's absurd
Is it?<<

Yes, it is absurd.
Unless you define morality in relation to Christ, in which case your assertion is just a tautology.

With any reasonable view of morality, you only need to look at many of the non-christian religions to find morality without Christ. In fact, you'll find that Jesus was an immoral hypocrite himself. He taught non-anger, yet became angry. He taught not to call a person a fool, yet did it himself. He taught to honor your father and mother, then was contemptous of his own mother. Jesus lied to his brothers about going to the feast of the Tabernacles. He lied to the high priest, saying that he never taught secretly. And these are only the examples that we found out about from people who loved him! This man is hardly one to base morality on.>>

.....is conditional.

True morality is unconditional.

The truth doesn't COST anything.

It's FREE!!

And this is why mankind continues to war against our ONE Lord God in Heaven Jesus Christ.

For anything that mankind creates has to carry the seed of a claim - which is an agenda or ulterior purpose which cannot be disclosed for the truth would expose the claim which is A LIE and every LIE is a FRAUD.

If all I knew and understood was a morality of conditions, claims, controls and stipulations then I, too, would be enraged and angry with any fellow that came around and didn't dance and sing and acknowledge these things.

But once we begin to know and understand the truth - ie. that true morality and true religion is all about receiving and sharing our Lord's light, energy and Love freely and unconditionally with others then we will remove ourselves from the irrational and insane slavery to these claims and controls and costs which are all illusions and lies and frauds to begin with.

Take a breather Mitch!

Mankind's world is NOT the reality of our Lord's energy, light and love. For mankind's world feeds off of claiming the Lord's energy, light and love for itself.

And as one wise fellow once said....

"The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them."
