Jesus was crucified by the religious leaders because He claimed to the the Son of God, NOT because He ran around inciting one group against another causing violence.

You mean He went around telling folks they were wrong and He was right? That He had the Truth and the only Truth? Sounds like inflammatory and divisive rhetoric. Of course He did not go around inciting one group against another causing violence, but it happened. The Word of God got more than one Christian killed, that does not mean their words were wrong. I can't believe you actually are going to debate that.

Jesus spoke out mostly against the established Jewish religious leaders..the Pharisees...He said very little about pagan religions and never even mentioned homosexuality directly anywhere in the Bible.

ROTFLMAO! You must be reading that PC version Bible. The one where they take out all the inflammatory and divisive rhetoric!

Jesus not only spoke to the sin of paganism and homosexuality (a fairly new word btw, look for the words they used like effeminate), He also affirmed that he came to to change the law but to fulfill it. The law did not change, just the enforcement and redemption from it. Only baby Christians and seculars trying to find fault in Christians fall for that worn out reasoning and misrepresentation of the Bible.

Show me one quote from Jesus where He mentions homosexuality in the Bible.
You can't because He doesn't even address the topic.

Not that homosexuality isn't clearly defined as sin by the Bible. It is.
But you claimed "Jesus spoke out against Pagans, Homosexuals and the establishment religions" when the truth is there isn't a single quote from Jesus in the Bible on the topic of homosexuality.

Futhermore, I never said anything about taking inflammatory or divisive rhetotic and a single word out of the Bible.
But I did say that the issues/people Falwell and Robertson, and you seem to think Jesus was most critical of, were either not mentioned by Him at all or were barely mentioned.
As I said before, Jesus saved His most scathing criticisms for the self-righteous religeous leaders who thought they were so much better than everybody else. The Pharisees. And the rhetoric of Falwell and Robertson following 9-11, pointing their fingers at others resembled just these people.

I can't believe you actually thought I was going to debate that. You obviously missed my point.
