Did Jesus ever kill anyone?

I'd say that as God, yes... Jesus has taken lives. But as a man, no.

Since you used the name "Jesus" I will take it as meaning "the man, Christ Jesus". No, the man Christ Jesus never killed anyone.

I just asked about Jesus. Didn't specify as man or as anything else. You said "as God, yes... Jesus has taken lives".

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".)

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.
