To Christians, Yahweh is the Godhead, not Jesus, and as to Jesus being God, you would have to see God as being able to die and that is not allowed for an eternal being who cannot die.
Jesus is also shown in scriptures to be sinful.
Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;

Uh, no. I am a Christian, I know what "Christians" believe. And no, the bible does not show Christ being sinful. The bible shows that he was punished for our sin, despite his own lack of sin.
Then I guess you have to see Jesus going against these three quotes. Right?
Ezekiel 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Deuteronomy 24:16 (ESV) "Fathers shall not be put to death because of their children, nor shall children be put to death because of their fathers. Each one shall be put to death for his own sin.
Ezekiel 18:20 (ESV) The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father, nor the father suffer for the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.
Rather un-kosher of you to ignore the moral part of the bible so as to be able to ride your scapegoat Jesus into heaven with your satanic substitutionary atonement lie.
Ask the money changers if whipping them and destroying their business's if that violence was a sin or not.

Their perspective of the Money changers incident is tainted by not
knowing what they were.
The Christians are purposely not told that the Money changers were normal and ok to be on the set aside areas of the Temple mount in order to service the huge inflows of people coming into the city to the Temple on high holidays. This would be liken to your stadium servicing crowds outside it's entrance with food, soft drinks, programs etc.
Most likely the overturned tables story comes from the infamous ransacking in Josephus writings, whereby it was Yehuda the Galionite the thief and murderer ransacked the Temple mount tables, he was confused with Yehuda the Galilean tax revolting christ figure in the time of King Herod, thus the account of Jesus Bar Abba and Jesus Barabbas probably also stems from borrowing the Galilean and Galionite accts to form the combined image and new named idol called Jesus.
Thanks for this.
I don't trust much of anything Josephus wrote as he was a traitor to Jewry for joining the Romans.
Some scholars have shown many similarities between his, the War of the Jews and scriptures and to me that type of deep plagiarism discredits Josephus.
I looked for something short on that but only sound this longer piece.

The reason for anyone thinking Josephus is liken to scripture is like how people say that about the Scrolls, it's done through tainted narrative when Christians try and plant what they want to see in Josephus or the Dead Sea Scrolls, they use narratives that is in their precepts not what Josephus actually wrote.
The same way they place Jesus into OT through nudging words tenses and context as what they want it to say or be about & not what it actually says or is accurate commentary.
In fact earlier versions of Josephus are different then later versions suggesting Eusebius the great liar forger added out of place the Jesus story to Josephus which isn't found before the Constantine-
Eusebius' era.
Also being the NT is a collection of plagiarisms and compiled accts out of the OT stories and cultures legends and mythologies, then Josephus would be plagiarized too. It is said Apollonias (Pol)
of Tyana from Tarsus is the author of 3/4 the works as the character Paul. Pol's accounts is actually where the Paul escaping out the window to Syria story came from.
It's Apollonias that had an extensive cultural library of faiths, mystery religions, and history from many cultures just as Constantine did.
A compilation in that essence is easy to see forming out of such a library.
