As Jesus was not predisposed to stone sinners, and had shown a willingness to bend the law on the Sabbath, I would have to conclude that there were conflicts between Jewish law, and God's Law, and He was referrencing God's Law.

They were ready to stone Jesus because he “forgave sins” when “only God may forgive sins.” What they said was true; however, they failed to recognize Jesus as God.

Concerning the Sabbath, Jesus asked “is it right to do good or evil.”

Jesus is the Fulfillment of the Law. That doesn't give us a pass to commit detestable practices.

....”Jesus is the Fulfillment of the Law. That doesn’t give us a pass to commit detestable practices”.....

When you become a Christian you change within and how you view sin. It’s never the same after one becomes the Lord’s because you see through His eyes.

Therefore you don’t do what you might have before because you know right away if you’re going the wrong direction. Conviction comes swiftly!

“and had shown a willingness to bend the law on the Sabbath”

He didn’t bend the law of the Sabbath, he correctly taught how the Sabbath should be treated and practiced as God had always meant it should be. He is the Lord of the Sabbath, the living word of God. There was no bending of any law, there is no inconsistency in him.

The Sabbath was for rest and relaxation...a time for reflection and a time for joy. The Sabbath was never meant to be a weekly funeral dirge!
