Did Jesus Christ Lie?

By

Gary DeVaney

A religion that can't stand criticism is false.

The Question Is The Highest Form Of Thought.

When a mind-set believer pushes a lie - the documented truth is very threatening.

John 8:42 Jesus said: I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of Myself, but He (God) sent me.

Does Jesus' own words again separate Jesus Christ from being God? Or, did Jesus lie? Based on Jesus' documented C&V words to God, do you honestly believe that Jesus Christ thought that He truly was the same insane Biblical God / Psychopath Who did all the murdering of Humanity in the Old Testament?

John 10:29 My Father, which gave them to me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

Luke 1:33 He (Jesus) will rule over the house of Jacob (The Jews) forever. 

C. Dennis McKinsey: When did Jesus Christ ever rule over the house of Jacob, the Jews?

Did Jesus lie?

Luke 2:52 And Jesus increased in wisdom, stature and IN FAVOR with God . . .

Whoa! How IS Jesus / God increased IN FAVOR with God? How many questions / issues does Luke 2:52 bring into reality. Based on this, does the claim that Jesus is God prove to be a lie?

Luke 10:19-20 Jesus said: I have given you the power to tread on serpents and scorpions and upon the full

force of the enemy and nothing will hurt you.

You will see this again in Mark 16:17-18. (Great picture!) 

Luke 12:33 Jesus said: Sell what you have and give alms… KJV 　

Jesus Demands: You Give Up All Your Possessions?

Did Jesus lie? Have you obeyed Jesus Christ and sold / given up all your own possessions? After selling what you owned, did you then give all your money away? Do you prove to be a good Christian in Jesus' eyes? Wealthy televangelists would say that you were a great Christian - as long as you gave to them all that you have.

Wealthy women like "demon-possessed" and "accused prostitute" Mary Magdalene financially supported Jesus. Dogma suggests that Jesus Christ's Grand-Uncle, Joseph-of-Arimathea, was a wealthy tin merchant. Neither Joseph-of-Arimathea nor Mary Magdalene are documented to have given up their wealth. Hummm, could Joseph of Arimathea have been Joseph, Mary's husband, Jesus' Earth father? Baby Jesus was His own "Holy Spirit" father.

Pat Robertson brought in about $460 million last year. Obviously, these ruthless con-men / clergy prefer to live by the little mentioned: Ecclesiastes 10:19 Money answers all things.

Luke 12:49-54 Jesus said: I have come to set the Earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing. How great is My anguish until it is accomplished!

If the average American Christian watched, saw and heard an Islamic leader, King or President say on TV: "I have come to set the Earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing. How great is my anguish until it is accomplished!" Would he or she claim that these were the words of an evil terrorist? Is this an "evil", terrorist statement? Yes? No? If yes, did Jesus Christ prove to be an evil / insane terrorist by making this evil / murderous statement? Do you insist that it depends on who said it? What was in Jesus' heart when He said it?

Would you zealously support evil if you knew it came from God - or - the President of the United States of America?

Does Jesus want, demand and expect His believers and followers to fulfill His wishes? Will Jesus punish those who will not fulfill His wishes? Do you pick and choose which of Jesus' wishes you will fulfill and those you won't? How much of a real God is a God who has to wish?

Should Jesus Christ be arrested, put in "Gitmo", water-boarded / tortured and held without charges for saying it? Or - Did Jesus outright lie when He said it? What kind of model was Jesus Christ to have said this? Or - did the Holy Bible lie by claiming and documenting that Jesus said it? Responses?　

Luke 14:26 Jesus said: If anyone comes to Me without hating his mother, father, wife and children, brothers and sisters and even his own life, he can not be My disciple.

"Happy Mother's Day" from Jesus.  　

Did Jesus lie about your having to hate your mother, your father, your brothers, your sisters, your wife, your children and your own life before Jesus would accept you? Would a tyrannical, jealous, evil person require that?　

Convert Or Else?

Is - "if you don’t accept Jesus Christ as your savior, you will suffer Eternal Torment" - Christianity's parallel teaching? 　

Revelation 2:23 Jesus (The Son of Man) said: And, I will kill her children... KJV 　

Did Jesus lie when He said that He would kill the Harlot's children in Rev 2:23? Would you, a saved Christian, assist Jesus Christ in killing someone's children?

Again, did Jesus' statement depict civilized values?

Personally, Luke 19:27 and Revelation 2:23 are the 2 Bible C&Vs that most turned me off to Jesus Christ. I choose to not be around such a character. How can mind-set believers support, promote and finance such a character?

Luke 14:26 Jesus said: If anyone comes to Me without hating his father, mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters and even his own life, he can not be My disciple.

Did Jesus lie about your having to hate your mother, your father, your brothers, your sisters, your wife, your children and your own life before Jesus would accept you? Would an evil individual require all that hatred? What kind of monster would expect or order that? Do believers worship a monster? Why worship anyone or anything?

Jesus included that you must hate your brother - didn't He?

Luke 22:36 Jesus said: He that has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one.

Did Jesus lie - or - are you an obedient Christian who personally owns a sword which is historically designed for the intent to slice up other Human Beings?

Luke 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

  Did Jesus Lie To The Thief On The Cross?

If Jesus Christ spent 3 days and 3 nights in Hell (somehow fit in from “Good Friday” afternoon to pre-dawn, Easter Sunday morning) after His crucifixion, did Jesus tell the absolute truth to the thief who was crucified with Him by stating: “To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.”? Specifically, how could Jesus spend 3 days and 3 nights in Hell instead of Paradise and make such a statement to the thief? The purest logic would have to consider that Jesus’ “Paradise / Heaven” was "Hell" to make such a statement.

Mark

Mark 4:11-12 Jesus said: To you (His Disciples) it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to outsiders, all these things are done in parables: That they may see, and not perceive; and they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.

What? Jesus wants outside people to not understand, to not be converted, and to not be forgiven? Jesus Christ wants outsiders to not to be saved? Does Jesus want outsiders to be destined for Hell? Or, did Jesus lie?

Mark 5:27-30 A woman touched Jesus’ cloak. Jesus was aware, at once, that power had gone out from Him.

What? Doesn’t this C&V mean that Jesus had conditional, limited, depleting and uncontrollable power? Doesn't this mean that a Human Being can control and deplete Jesus' power? If this Bible C&V is factual, what else can it possibly mean concerning the limitation of Jesus Christ and of God Himself?

Mark 9:1 & Luke 9:27 Jesus said: Some of you standing here shall not taste death until they see the Kingdom of God after it has come with power.

Would you swear and give your word that some of those men who Jesus said this to are still alive today?

Mark 9:23 Jesus said: All things are possible for one who believes.

If you claim to be a believer, have all things, that you prayed for, turned out as you expected?

Mark 9:43 Jesus said: If your hand offends you, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be 

quenched.

What? Going into what life maimed? 

Mark 9:45 Jesus said: If your foot offends you, cut it off. It is better for you to enter halt into life, than having two feet be cast into hell.

What is “to enter halt into life”? Did Jesus speak funny or did Jesus lie? 

Mark 9:47 Jesus said: If your eye offends you, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes in Hell. 

What? If you lose an eye while alive, you will enter Heaven with one eye? What wrong with that picture? Did Jesus lie? 

Mark 10:18 Jesus said: Why do you call Me good? No one is good but God alone.

Did Jesus tell the truth? Did Jesus lie in Mark 10:18 when He again separated Himself from being God? Did Jesus lie about Himself not being good?

Mark 10:25 Jesus said: It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

If you are a wealthy Christian believer - do you live as if you believe that Jesus lied? Or, would you rather believe that Jesus told the truth and that you choose to forego Heaven - by preferring to face Jesus' "Eternal Torment" in Hell? Or, if you are wealthy Christian minister - do you not believe what you do preach to others?

Joke: A multi-millionaire televangelist and his hot, young wife were flying in one of their private jets on vacation. The preacher turned to his wife and said: "Ah, life is good. If I weren't rich, would you still love me?" A worshipful tear flowed from her eye. She thought for a moment, looked at him, smiled and said: "Of course, I'd love you... I'd miss you."

The combined wealth of these Christian Clergy could probably feed all the US homeless for the next 50 years.

Considering your contribution on the Judeo-Christian religion - your money speaks louder than your words.

Mark 10:26-27 Who can be saved? Jesus said: For human beings, it is impossible…

Did These Human Beings Believe That God Would Save Them From This?

Do practicing Christians, who try to convert you, believe Jesus to be a liar concerning salvation?

Mark 10:29 Jesus said: Everyone that has forsaken houses, brethren, sisters, father, mother, wife, children or lands for my name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold and shall 

inherit everlasting life.

What? You will get hundreds of everything listed above? Did Jesus lie? I hope so. That’s a lot of demanded time, expense and maintenance.

Mark 11:23 Jesus said: If you have faith, you can throw mountains into the sea.

Believe & You Can Throw Mountains Into The Sea?

Did Jesus lie to the people He spoke this to? Does Jesus promise and promote irrational power to obtain obedient faith. What sane Human Being would want to throw mountains into the sea? The most obsessed, insane and power-crazy would just murder others to get what they want - just like the Old Testament God had His "Chosen People" murder nations so to steal their "Promised Land". Was Jesus Christ actually the murderous God of the Old Testament?

Mark 11:24 Jesus said: I tell you, all that you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive it and it shall be yours. Catholic

Have you received all that you asked Jesus for in prayer? If not, come on, did Jesus lie?

When you pray and do ask God for things, aren't you really complaining that God is not gifting you to your standards and to your expectations? Aren't you really trying to tell God how to run His business - especially concerning God's giving to you?

Mark 13:12 Jesus said: Brother will hand over brother to death, and the father his child; children will raise up against their parents and put them to death.

Did Jesus lie concerning His documented prophesy / agenda for children to kill their parents? Is Jesus honest? Does Jesus have integrity? Does Jesus say what He means? Does Jesus mean what He says? What would a fundamentalist Christian preacher say? Would the preacher dare lie?

Gary DeVaney: Do you view that I am lying concerning all these selected Bible C&Vs? If so, submit your challenges and corrections, by email, to: gary@gdevaney.com (Do not get caught preaching.) 

Revelation 2:23 The Son of Man (Jesus Christ) said: I will kill her children... KJV

Jesus Would Kill Children?

Did Jesus lie when He said that He would also kill the Harlot's children in Rev 2:23? Would you, a saved Christian, assist Jesus Christ in killing someone's children? Is Jesus Christ a good model for Humanity?

Our US Government historically orders US children to kill other nation's children to protect our Government's foreign "interests".

How many Christian parents have encouraged their sons to kill a million Iraqis and their children just because God told President George W. Bush, in a dream, to attack Iraq?

Can you explain why the USA had killed and injured about 20 million Vietnamese?

Do you believe that your personal reasons for war are good enough to take those few million Human lives? Did the Bible and its God inspire or entitle you to your murderous beliefs?

Mark 13:23 (Jesus said) But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.

After 2,000 years, science has learned that Jesus did not foretell us much at all. Specifically, Jesus did not tell us of things that would be beneficial to Human life. Jesus could have told Mankind about micro-organisms and antibiotics. That would have saved billions of Human lives over the past 2,000 years. But, Jesus did not - did He? Jesus could have told us about electricity, which has been the greatest and most powerful gift for the comfort of Mankind. But, all-knowing Jesus chose not to. Can you think of anything else that Jesus could have told us that would have made Mankind’s life on Earth be safer and less painful. Jesus taught that you are not worthy of Him if you dare to love anything more than you love Jesus. Jesus also brought Hell and Eternal Torment into fashion - if you would not have Jesus Christ be King and tyrant over you. Objectively and honestly, did Jesus Christ tell the absolute truth or did Jesus somewhat lie when He said: “I have foretold you all things”?

Matthew 5:29 Jesus said: If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out, throw it away. 

Matthew 5:39 Jesus said: Resist not evil...

Would you trust a Christian babysitter with your child who would not resist evil? Did Jesus lie? If Jesus did not lie - then - did Jesus prove to be evil? If Jesus would not resist evil, would you have Jesus baby-sit your baby?

Matthew 7:7-8 Jesus said: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

Matthew 9:18-25 While Jesus spoke, there came a certain ruler who worshipped him, saying, my daughter is dead, but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live. Jesus said the maid is not dead, but sleeping. They laughed at him. Jesus went in, took her by the hand, and the maid arose.

C. Dennis McKinsey: If the ruler's daughter was dead, then, Jesus Christ lied because Jesus said that she was not dead, but sleeping. If she was not dead, then Jesus performed no miracle.

Matthew 10:5-6 Jesus said: Go not into the way of the pagan (Catholic) gentiles (KJV), but go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Are You Of The Lost Sheep Of Israel?

 If You Are A Jew - Do You Believe In Jesus Christ?

What? Is Jesus saying that He only wanted to save the Jews and not to bother with pagans and gentiles? Aren't pagans and gentiles also Human Beings and "God's children"? Did Jesus Christ lie? Courage, now! Did He?

Hummm. If Jesus, a Jew, was only for the Jews, did Jesus Christ prove to be a racist?

Matthew 10:28 Fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in Hell

We should fear God.

Matthew 10:34-36 Jesus said: I came not to send peace but the sword, man against father, daughter against mother…and one’s enemies will be those of his household.

Mother's Dream?                                        Father's Dream?

Did Jesus lie when He said that He did not come to send peace but the sword / conflict / war into your family's lives? Was it Jesus' agenda for your family members to be your enemies? Is this an evil agenda? Did Jesus Christ lie or does Jesus prove to be evil? Are Christian families - who are not against each other - bad Christians in Jesus' eyes?

Matthew 10:37 Jesus said: If you love your father or mother or even your sons and daughters more than me, you are not fit to be my disciples.

Luke 14: 26 Jesus said: Whoever comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and even life itself, cannot be my disciple.

Did Jesus lie - or was Jesus insane?

Matthew 11:12-14 Jesus said: John the Baptist is Elijah (Catholic) / Elias (KJV).

John 1:21 John the Baptist said he was not Elijah (Catholic) / Elias. (KJV)

Who lied - Jesus or John?

Matthew 12:30 Jesus said: “Whoever is not with me is against me..."

Jesus has caused constant division and war with these words. Christians and Muslims constantly practice Jesus' words. Did Jesus mean these words and did Jesus want constant war because of them - or did Jesus lie?

Matthew 15:22-28 A Canaanite (Gentile) woman asked Jesus to heal her daughter. Jesus ignored her. His disciples asked Jesus to send her away. Jesus replied that He was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel (The Jews). Jesus then said: It is not right to take the food of the children and throw it to the dogs. She appealed to Jesus: Please Lord, even the dogs eat the scraps that fall from their master’s table. Jesus healed her daughter.

What? Did Jesus, in Matthew 15:26-27, refer to this poor Gentile woman and her sick Gentile daughter as "dogs"? Did Jesus reject the woman because she and her daughter were not Jews? Then - after the woman did grovel like a dog - Jesus did heal her daughter.

Does this documented model of Jesus Christ require non-Jews to beg Jesus - like groveling, begging dogs - to save them?

What defines the characteristics of a name-calling racist?

Did Jesus Christ lie when He claimed to come only for the Jews?

Concerning: The Apostle Paul:

Did the Apostle Paul go against Jesus' teaching when he opened Christianity up to Gentiles?

Matthew 5:18-20 Jesus said: I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 5:17 Jesus said: Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

Jesus' teaching conflicted with the teachings of Paul who preached that believers were no longer under the law.

Matthew 16:28 Jesus said: There are some standing here who will not taste death until they see The Son of Man (Jesus) coming in His Own kingdom.

Did Jesus Christ lie to those standing there - about their not dying - before He came into His own Kingdom? What has history proven? If Jesus did not lie - then - Jesus Christ was wrong. If Jesus was wrong - then - Jesus Christ was a false prophet. If Jesus Christ was wrong - then - Jesus certainly was not God. Which do you prefer? Do you dare choose? As of 2011 AD, Jesus Christ has not yet come into His Kingdom on planet Earth. Do you agree? Can you prove that some of those people who Jesus said "they shall not taste death until they see the Kingdom of God" are still alive? If not, did Jesus lie?

 Is Jesus Coming Into His Kingdom?

Isaiah 43:11 I am the Lord, and apart from Me there is no savior.

Well, that settles that! But, it also claims that God is the savior - not Jesus.

John 10:30 Jesus said: I and My Father (God) are one.  

Numbers 23:19 God is not a man that God should sin, nor the son of man that God should repent. 

Genesis 6:6 God repented that He had made man.  

Because God repented in Genesis 6:6, it contradicts Numbers 23:19 where it infers that God does not repent.

Which contradictory Bible C&V proves to lie? If Numbers 23:19 is "God's Word" then Jesus Christ, a man, lied in John 10:30.

Support for either C&V disclaims the other. No believer - as much as they want it - can have it both ways. And, "faith" is not an answer.

Isaiah 45:7 God said: I, the Lord, make peace and (I) create evil.

God creates evil! Should God / Jesus Christ be arrested, put in "Gitmo", water-boarded / tortured and held without charges for saying that He created "Evil"? (Presuming that Jesus is God.) Or - Did God / Jesus outright lie when He said it? If God / Jesus did say it - did  God / Jesus prove to be evil? What kind of good, wholesome model is God / Jesus Christ to have said this? Or - did the Holy Bible lie by claiming and documenting that God / Jesus did say: "I create evil"?

 "Gitmo"

Can you answer these questions? Have you explained your answers? If so - after hearing your own explanation - did you lie?

Matthew 18:8 Jesus said: Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.

Do you believe you should cut your sinful hands and feet off to prevent entering Hell?

Matthew 21:22 Jesus said: Whatever you ask for in prayer with faith, you will receive.

Matthew 23:9 Jesus said: Call no one on Earth your father… 　

Did Jesus lie when He commanded for you - a converted, believing, Catholic Christian - to call no one on Earth your father? If you do call your male parent, your father, aren't you insisting that Jesus lied? If you call your male parent "father" are you truly a Christian? Why do Catholic Priests want to be called "Father"?　

Revelation 2:26-27 Jesus said: To him who overcomes and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations. He will rule them with a rod of iron: he will dash them to pieces like pottery, just as I have received authority from my Father. 　

Jesus will put a tyrant "who does His will to the end" over nations and he will dash other nations to pieces like pottery? 　

Do you think that is something a tyrant would do?

Does Revelation describe that Jesus is dashing other nations (of people) to pieces AT the end time or AFTER the end time in Jesus' Heaven? Will Jesus, as a master tyrant, do this evil on other nations - or - did Jesus lie?

What bothers me the most is: Why do Christians currently support, promote, worship and finance such a character as Jesus Christ, who would "dash other nations to pieces like pottery"?　

Do you ever hear from believers: But, Jesus loves you! 

Jesus said that he speaks in parables so that only an elect inner circle will understand him (Mark 4:10-12, Matthew 13:10-13, Luke 8:9-10). Matthew 7:6 - including the famous injunction not to cast pearls before swine.

If I accurately selected Bible C&Vs where Jesus is documented to have lied, would you go "ad hominine" and ignore Jesus' lying and instead claim that I lied concerning all these selected Bible C&Vs? If so, why?

Concerning the life of Jesus, extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. There is no scientific evidence that the miracles ascribed to Jesus happened, or that any similar miracles ever happened in all of history. Such miracle stories are extraordinary claims without extraordinary proof. To believe in these supernatural miracles is to not be motivated by reality. 

Declaration: I did not write the Bible - did I?

I am not responsible for what the Bible documents - am I?

I'm not responsible for how people feel about what the Bible documents.

How can I be?

I take issue with specific Bible C&Vs.

If I make an error concerning a C&V that I take issue with - I welcome valid topical correction.

If I am proven to be in error - I will make the valid correction and sincerely thank the one who submitted it.

Many believers do not like my research and the C&V issues I take with God, Jesus Christ and the Bible.

As long as I accurately take issue with what the Bible states, C&V, their anger and hurt feelings should not affect my integrity.

Albert Schweitzer: "The Quest of the Historical Jesus."

The book was first published in 1906. Albert Schweitzer concluded that: The Jesus of Nazareth who came forward as the Messiah, who preached the ethic of the Kingdom of God, who founded the Kingdom of Heaven upon earth, and died to give His work its final consecration, never had any existence. (p. 398).

Was Jesus Christ worth following?

Most faith-based believers are often in error - but - never in doubt.
