Did Jesus live a sinless life?
I guess you can start to sin at age 8. New Testament writers write about three years of his life about thirty years after his life. They record incidents that he got angry and became violent at the temple. We also know from scripture that all that he did could not be contained in all the libraries of the world. How about the incident at the temple: was this a sin. What measuring stick can you use for sin. Who makes the rules for sin.

You should read some books...
Jesus did sin. Very much so. This is why there is very little of his childhood in the scriptures. If you think how and why the Bible was put together you will see what I mean. I believe Jesus was even involved in homosexual acts.

And yes, he lived a sinless life. A perfect life.
God makes the rules. If you break God's rules that is a sin.
Does that answer all your questions?
he got physical with people - if you see someone at church saying something really stupid at sacrament meeting can you get up, yell and push him off the stand?

If you're the Messiah, sure.

I believe you are mentally deranged. There are homes for people of this kind...
The face of sin today often wears the mask of tolerance.

Nehor - where is that written: if you are the Messiah - you can physically hurt people. But or course some would say that was light compared to the anger displayed in the old testament.

Example:
A parent tells their child that if they go out and play in the mud puddle they will get a spanking.
The child slips out and plays in the mud.
Would it be wrong for the parent to spank the child?
