Or heterosexual, if your logic is correct.So you are claiming he was bi-sexual?The bible says Jesus is human and God and that he experienced temptation like very human, yet never sinned. That leads me to believe he felt every emotion and feeling a human can feel.
Nope. I am saying he was tempted because the bible says HE WAS TEMPTED EVERY WAY, YET NEVER SINNED. Therefore, he could not be homosexual or bisexual.
sigh....you are doing the same thing the uber-christians do, taking things out of context to push an agenda.
By "uber-Christians", do you mean Christians who believe the bible?
Sky found a blog with a bunch of links and she is not interested in discussing anything she found.Was Jesus queer? We don't know. But it is a possibility that cannot be ruled out. One version of St. Mark's gospel - which is still the subject of academic dispute - alludes to Jesus having a homosexual relationship with a youth he raised from the dead.
According to the US Biblical scholar, Morton Smith, of Columbia University, a fragment of manuscript he found at the Mar Saba monastery near Jerusalem in 1958, showed that the full text of St. Mark chapter 10 (between verses 34 and 35 in the standard version of the Bible) includes the passage:
"And the youth, looking upon him (Jesus), loved him and beseeched that he might remain with him. And going out of the tomb, they went into the house of the youth, for he was rich. And after six days, Jesus instructed him and, at evening, the youth came to him wearing a linen cloth over his naked body. And he remained with him that night, for Jesus taught him the mystery of the Kingdom of God".
The veracity of this manuscript is hotly contested by other Biblical scholars. This comes as no surprise. The revelation of a gay Jesus would undermine some of the most fundamental tenets of orthodox Christianity, including its rampant homophobia.
But even if the text is genuine, does this ambiguous, elliptical passage offer evidence of Jesus's homosexuality? It is hard to say. The precise nature of the relationship between Christ and the youth is not spelled out. Sexual relations are suggested but not explicitly stated.
The Morton Smith document is, in fact, irrelevant to the vexed issue of Christ's sexual orientation. What we can say for certain is that the standard, accepted Biblical narrative gives us no information at all about Jesus's sexuality.
This absence of firm information does not, of course, mean that we can take it for granted that Christ was heterosexual. Far from it! The lack of information about his erotic inclinations begs more questions than it answers.
In the absence of any evidence - let alone proof - that Jesus was heterosexual, the theological basis of Church homophobia is all the more shaky and indefensible. How can established religion dare denounce homosexuality when the founder of its faith was himself a man of mysterious, unknown sexuality who could, for all we know, have been homosexual?
Peter Tatchell: Was Jesus Gay?
Oh, I don't believe that for a minute.I don't have an investment in the outcome.

By "uber-Christians", do you mean Christians who believe the bible?
No, I mean the ones that read into it what they wish to read into it and use it to bash people that disagree with them.
Not that I know too much of what is in the bible, but where does it say that homosexuality is a sin?Or heterosexual, if your logic is correct.Nope. I am saying he was tempted because the bible says HE WAS TEMPTED EVERY WAY, YET NEVER SINNED. Therefore, he could not be homosexual or bisexual.
Heterosexuality is not a sin.
Sex is a temptation. You claimed Jesus was prey to all the temptations of a human. That would include at one point in his life or another the passing attraction to another male.Or heterosexual, if your logic is correct.Nope. I am saying he was tempted because the bible says HE WAS TEMPTED EVERY WAY, YET NEVER SINNED. Therefore, he could not be homosexual or bisexual.
Heterosexuality is not a sin.
I'm not the one claiming it says something it doesn't say.By "uber-Christians", do you mean Christians who believe the bible?
No, I mean the ones that read into it what they wish to read into it and use it to bash people that disagree with them.
That would be you and your pals, the unbelievers who twist Scripture to fit your agenda.

The point is, there is no biblical proof Jesus was heterosexual. Bible passages can be stretched to mean anything.
Did Jesus ever take a crap or a piss:?
