"He is demon-possessed and raving mad. Why listen to him?" John 10:20?

John 12:47-"'And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.'"
Allot of people thought Jesus was demon possessed. This makes sense because when I tell people about peace, love, liberty and freedom they stab me in the back, gossip and say I’m evil.
Why does most Christian Churches do the exact opposite of Jesus? They judge sinners and teach God’s blessings to their own kind. What is the difference between the "teachers of the law or Pharisees” and Christians of our time?
Answers:
You have a good point.

They judge sinners and teach God’s blessings to their own kind.

Thats why you need to find a church that believes in the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
No that is falsification of the text of John 10:20
God is Judge.
Eze 2:7 And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.
Eze 3:18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
Many people do not act on what they teach but that is not a reason to leave any Church.
The difference is huge.

Christians of our time are blessed to have "accepted Jesus as saviour" the pharisees did not.

People will always be imperfect.

You will find perfection in HEAVEN AND GOD ONLY%26lt;
I'm not sure that they believed He was demon possessed. I am sure that they were jealous and looking for any way to make Him look bad to the people. He was a threat to their way of life. To their position in life. It was the Pharisees who leveled this accusation against Jesus.

Sometimes we are uncomfortably like the Pharisees, which I believe is one of the reasons we are told so much about Jesus' encounters with them. They had become so obsessed with being "right" that they overlooked being righteous.

Some people use this idea to say that anyone who is careful about doing what the Bible says is like the Pharisees, but I don't think that's true. Jesus followed the Law. What He didn't follow was the traditions of the elders. (Matthew 15:1-9) Those traditions probably started out as a good thing. They were so concerned with keeping God's law that they built traditions or "fences" around the law to keep them from even getting close to breaking a law of God.

But their fences didn't keep them safe. They began trusting in the fences more than they trusted in God. The upheld their traditions and disregarded people. And, of course, we can still do that today.
True Christians teach only what the Bible says, unlike the Pharisees, who taught their own ideas and traditions as though they were law. And we do not judge sinners. God has passed the judgment, and has told us how to live. We are simply trying to convince others to be Christians and follow Christ, because it's the only way to be saved.
