DID JESUS SIN?

88 Charges Against the Gospel Jesus Tested Under the Torah

A forensic Torah-first examination of 88 Gospel charges. The book tests attributed words, actions and predictions under the Hebrew Bible’s covenant standards, then confronts the strongest Christian defenses.

The claim deserves a test

Sinlessness is not a starting assumption. It is the claim under examination.

Christianity requires Jesus to be sinless. But a conclusion does not become evidence merely because later doctrine depends on it. This book examines 88 separate charges drawn from the Gospel accounts and tests them against the Torah and Hebrew Bible.

The question is not whether the title feels provocative. The question is whether the claim of sinlessness survives the evidence.

The investigation

Begin with the record, not the permitted conclusion

If sinlessness is assumed before the Gospel evidence is examined, every difficult statement must be explained away. The investigation then becomes circular.

This book begins elsewhere: with the texts, the accusations, the strongest Christian defenses, and the standard already established in the Torah.

A controlled test

Every charge must answer six questions

  1. TextWhat does the passage actually report?
  2. ContextWhat does the full literary setting establish?
  3. ResponsibilityWho bears responsibility for the act or statement?
  4. StandardWhich Torah requirement governs the issue?
  5. DefenseDoes the strongest defense resolve the charge or only make acquittal seem possible?
  6. VerdictWhat conclusion does the complete evidence support?

The governing standard

Test the claim under the Torah

Not under a later creed. Not under the assumption that every apparent contradiction must have an innocent explanation.

The Torah supplies standards for obedience, prophecy, responsibility, testimony, covenant authority, and worship. If Christianity presents Jesus as sinless, that claim must survive those standards.

Who this book is for

Read it if the evidence matters more than the inherited answer

Frans Hansen and the Did Jesus Sin? cover beside the words A claim is not a verdict.

Examine the case

A difficult passage is not automatically a conviction. A possible defense is not automatically an acquittal.

The discipline is simple: make the claim face the text, the context, the governing standard, the strongest defense, and the full weight of the evidence.
