people wants to stone a woman to death,

7th century forgery. Also totally out of character of Biblical Jesus' teachings.

What about when he said the most important command is loving your neighbor the way you love yourself?

Golden rule. First recorded at least 5 centuries before Jesus. And well known to the Jews at least a century before Jesus. Also biblical Jesus robbed it of its power when he made God above humans and told people that loving him/god was the real Golden rule.

He says it’s easier for a rich person to go through the eye of a needle than to get into heaven.

He did? Pretty sure Paul said that when people weren't giving him enough money and Jesus was made to say that. Paul also said people who didn't give him enough money were worthy of death. Also even if there was a historical Jesus, he doesn't just get to declare that being rich is a sin, that has to be demonstrated. And even being rich were a sin I think you would agree that it in no way rises to the level of deserving an eternity of hell.

Still, Jesus or his ghost writers had some good stuff mixed in there.

Like the part when Jesus makes a woman grovel at his feet calling herself a racial slur before Jesus can be used to save her dying kid?
