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?


So, I can do ANYTHING to protect my house? After all, it belongs to me.

And it was in a snit of righteous anger that Jehova (Jesus) drown every man, woman, and child (save a handful), I guess too hugh?

Was it righteous anger when Elisha called in a bear to tear up a bunch of children for the horrible sin of calling him old baldy?

So, there's the key. Stick the adjective "righteous" before any act of violence or mayhem, and, viola, no moral responsibility.
God . . . "who mouths morals to other people and has none himself; who frowns upon crimes, yet commits them all; who created man without invitation, . . . and finally, with altogether divine obtuseness, invites this poor, abused slave to worship him ..."

I think there are two likely possibilities here.

1. Jesus never existed, so it is 100% certain that he did not sin.

2. Jesus existed, but we know very little about him, in which case he most certainly did do things many call sin.

I think the following is the most unlikely scenario:

Jesus was the son of God and was chosen as the supreme sacrifice for people's sins because he managed actually to live a sinless life.
