None! He was too soft!

Mat_23:33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. -- James 1:19-20

The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. -- Psalm 103:8

I've long noticed that people have used Jesus's language to rationalize their own. If any of you are so tempted, though, first examine how much like Jesus you actually are. Doing justice to this step may be one reason why it pays to be slow to anger.

“I’ve long noticed that people have used Jesus’s language to rationalize their own.”


Indeed, I’ve long noticed that there are people who enter these threads not to add anything productive, except to aid and abet those attacking the authority and historicity of the New Testament and its doctrines. Happens in Mormon threads too.
