John 7:6-10 NLT
Jesus replied, "Now is not the right time for me to go, but you can go anytime. [7] The world can't hate you, but it does hate me because I accuse it of doing evil. [8] You go on. I'm not going to this festival, because my time has not yet come." [9] After saying these things, Jesus remained in Galilee. [10] But after his brothers left for the festival, Jesus also went, though secretly, staying out of public view.

I think Jesus was lying. Therefore he sinned. Therefore he is not the perfect sacrifice. What is your opinion?
Edit. It seems that some translations differ. E.g. the kjv has a "yet".
Sad..........to top that off you don't even understand the bible verse.

John 7:6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready. 7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.

{{ The Jewish leaders were seeking to kill Jesus, he did not want them to possible be killed because of him, and since his time was not yet {that he should be sacrificed} he did not go, but he needed to disguise himself, he is God, thus he escaped many times by looking like someone else !! Bt f he went with the Disciples in "disguise" they would have known it.}}


8 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for my time is not yet full come.9 When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee. 10 But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.

11 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.13 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.

Might want to watch out for lightening, mocking God is a dangerous thing.

In my Hebrew translation the text is clearer. Simply put, He is not going there to make a public appearance because the time of his arrest and dying on the Cross had not come yet. They fully understood that He was going to the Festival a part from them so not to draw attention to himself.

It would be like a Rock and Roller saying I am not going to the Concert to play, but to enjoy someone else performing.


Except Jesus went to the temple and started teaching which is akin to getting on stage and playing.
