Even if that's so, that doesn't set a very good example to all the people whom he made the laws for. Nobody has much respect for the boss who says you can't leave early.... who leaves early all the time.

I don't see how that example has anything to do with Jesus. He didn't steal the donkey. He sent His diciples to pick it up and the owner gave them permission. So, what's the issue?

I don't know man. That's your quote. You justified the action with that whether he had or hadn't kiped the mule.

I'm not a man, and He didn't kidnap or steal the mule.

Is it a sin to steal?
Keep in mind, everything belongs to God. Even the owner of the Ass/colt.
And since Jesus is God. He can take what He needs, when He needs it, and it is not a sin. God can even take our life when He wants it. It's up to God, because we are His property. You just need a proper perspective. LOL.

I don't know about that, out here where I'm at, if you take somebody's horse, mule or donkey without their permission, you just might get yourself shot... and you better make darn sure you get their permission first before you attempt to take it.

Of course if you were God, you might have a different perspective.

How can you trust one who gives a person a gift, but still considers it his. If God were in front of a judge he'd be labeled a felon.

Do you presume to judge God a felon?
Well, good luck with that...'cuz you're gonna need it. Lots of people have tried to judge Him, and none of them have ever came out on top...
