If Jesus as a man would be "no better than Mohammad" if He had killed anyone, how do you allow for Jesus as God killing people? (And, presumably, being "better than Mohammad".)
Bump.

Okay. Yes, the young Jesus occasionally killed rascally kids who rubbed him wrong way--it's right there in the Gospel of Thomas. We all know that Thomas was the skeptical, doubting sort of fellow, so we can assume Thomas wouldn't report a story he had not personally verified.

Weird, almost, I've just been studying this--actually I was studying more the 'Christ as Creator' aspect that seems to be a pop view right now...and I'm not buying it, really, at Christ's prayers to God, which would not be genuine, at least as interpreted, if He considered Himself God. Christ is not God; although if you have seen Him, you have seen the Father, ok; but whereas God ordered death--in the dispensation of Law--Christ came as a sacrifice, to usher in a new dispensation. No more 'eye for an eye,' even; turn the other cheek, and all that.
The fig tree is def a curve-ball there, tho; must be some symbolism I'm not getting.
