Why did Jesus say he is not good? ~ Cross reference of Luke 18:

When I read the 4 gospel, I see that Jesus never claimed to be god so how did the Christians make Jesus [a] god? Though I had been a Christian for 50 years, I always had an issue in listening to sermons where the pastor talked about Jesus being god in flesh. I think trinity is man made by a bunch of pagan people who had to make him a god as their Greco Roman audiences would never follow someone who is not god. Anyway this trinity a.k.a "then man said let us make god in our own image" has been as much a mystery the people who created it as to the people they have been trying to explain to. That said, this is a clear passage that shows that Jesus says that he is not good and only god is good. He also says the way to eternal life is to follow the law. Ideally he should have said "take it easy, in a few months I will die for your sins and if you believe that you will have eternal life".

To obey the law or practice traditions ~ Cross reference of Mark 7:10 to Exodus 20:12

In Mark 7 "the Pharisees" get a beating from Jesus for asking why Jesus's disciples do not wash their hands before eating. They were right in asking it as one can get infections by eating with dirty hands. Jesus first quotes Isaiah 29 to say that Isaiah prophesied that 700 years later the Pharisees will give more importance to traditions than to the laws of G-d. He then goes onto to use Exodus 20:12 about how they were not obeying the law to honor parents by using the excuse of [Corban] vows to take precedence over the law. He then sums it up all up by saying that what goes in does not defile a person but what comes out from the heart does. All Images are links to Google Images. Copyright violations not intended.
