Was Jesus Christ a closet homosexual?
410323
The Secret Gospel of Mark (not part of the official Christian canon) implies that Jesus had a sexual relationship with Lazarus. \n\nWhether Jesus was gay, or had children with Mary Magdalene, is all just speculation. We really don't know anything about Jesus beyond what's written in the gospels...and the gospels were written long after Jesus' death.

Sounds like you just did come out of the closet. By posting your question, you announced to the whole world that you're gay. :)

A person can be a good Christian without being a homophobe. Why? Because Jesus himself said nothing against homosexuality.\n\nLeviticus states "Do not lie with another man as you do with your wife".  So, if you actually read the old testament line that is so often misquoted, in the original language, it basically says that it is wrong for a married man to cheat on his wife with another  man.  It also has over 300 admonitions against heterosexual sex.  Are we all supposed to be lesbians? The bible says nothing about women sleeping with women, so, i guess for religious reasons, I need to become a lesbian.\n\nThere is nothing wrong with homosexuality.  Everyone loves differently. As long as you don't hurt anyone, love who you want.

Whoops, I meant:\n\nhttp://www.cathedralofhope.com/homosexuality/index.php\n\nEDIT: Interesting, Servant of God... you first put "God" instead of "Gay" as being a lust...\n\nFreudian Slip, perhaps?

One way or the other, he'll find out he is wrong.\nLike most homosexuals, one line of defense is to accuse the peace loving, concerned christian of hate.\n\nThey have to maintain the division somehow to justify their immoral life style.

The British Minister of Equality didn't answer this question because he knows there's no way in Heaven or Hell that he can answer it in such a way that will please everybody.\n\nAccording to most religious people, homosexuality is definitely a sin.  Meanwhile, all the agnostics and atheists in the world (who are an extreme minority compared to the religious but have all the sociopolitical clout for some reason) say that anything a religious person says is inescapably flawed, and so homosexuality is NOT a sin, and thinks that gays and lesbians should recieve medals of courage just for being who they are.\n\nHere's the thing though.  Nobody, NOBODY is born to be a homosexual.  As a sexual species, a human male is supposed to be genetically programmed to mate with a human female in order to continue the species.  Homosexuals of today get confused with gender roles (if a guy is especially skinny and he enjoys the theater, he MUST be gay, right???), and the more we support it, the more people will follow their example.  Homosexuality is a result of faulty human programming, and how society deals with the error.\n\nBut if homosexuality IS a sin, then you're supposed to love the sinner and hate the sin, right? :P

No he doesn't accept gay people or sinners. He wants us to live like we are in his image. Although we know we are human and will make mistakes he does want us to repent..............

Those Christians that say that forget their Jesus (however, quite a few Christians do share that opinion with their lame "hate the sin, not the sinner" line.)\n\nJesus said if you lust after a person in your heart, you have already committed adultery.  While I disagree with him, certainly, Christians are not afforded this luxary.\n\nSo Jesus says that being gay (obviously, by definition desiring someone of the same sex) then they have already committed the deed.  As Christians, there is no difference between wanting and actually doing in this regard.\n\nThus, whichever Christians repeat this tripe do so despite of what Jesus told them.  In short, as Christians, they are flat wrong.  Either homosexuality is all the way wrong or just fine. \n\nWhile I abhor those fundies who decry homosexuality, at least they are consistent.  This moderate Christian way of having their cake and eating it too is biblically wrong and just plain stupid.

I'd have to agree with you, except in the reverse order, Homophobes use Christianity as an excuse.  Many Christians aren't Homophobes and therefore don't need to quote (often misquote) the gay references in the bible.  Two very small references to Homosexuality in the old Testament are the only references that the bible makes, yet it makes references to many other things that Christians never attack and some of which most, if not all, Christians are guilty of committing.  The fact is Gays are an easy target.  They can point and say, "look at the sinner!" and draw the attention away from their own sins.

God says the homosexual is worthy of death, so if you agree with God, the answer is yes.\n\nIf you don't care anything about God or right and wrong, do whatever you want to.\n\nJohnny

He was a bit camp - whether he was officially gay I have no idea. There is nothing in any of the books or websites I have come across.

Don't listen to these conservative mosters. If you are educated in the word of God, then it is not only acceptable but also your duty to do so. \n\nThere are less than a dozen lines concerning homosexuality in the Bible, and more than 600 concerning the SIN of judging others. Anyone who denies homosexuals the dignity they deserve belongs in hell just as much as any other sinner. Thank God true Christians are more forgiving and accepting than some of the selfish people out there.

+    :)\nA Christian in Rebellion!\n\nChristians are forgiven sinners.\nNo better and sometimes worse than others..\nI am or have been attracted to other sins just as strongly as you are now attracted to the man you say you love.\nLove (AGAPE) by the way is not sexual, lust (EROS) is.\nIf your love for this man does not lead you into fornication (in thought or deed) then It's not sin.\nIf you mean you feel lust for this person you should resist it.\nBeing a Christian means Making Jesus the Christ, the Lord of your life. \nJesus loves you and all homosexuals as much as he loves anyone else.  He died for all of us.\nIf you love him you will keep his commandments.\n\nNo amount of approval from others on this site can change what you must do to please him.

Its perfectly OK. C'mon people we are living in the 21st century now.\n\nAnd for all those, who use Bible as a weapon against homosexual desires, I'd like to tell you that its not Jesus himself that wrote it. How can you gaurantee that whosoever wrote it, did not misinterpret Jesus. \n\nIts only the "personal interpretations" of the homophobics that make it against it. Even rayburnlarry above has cited a "version" of Bible, while going against same sex love.\n\nJesus, the messiah always promoted love, understanding and accepting those who might be different from us.\n\nNothing makes God, the Jesus more happier than seeing Love rather than hatred and selfishness.

He was most likely gay.\n\nhe walked around in sandals all the time.\nhe wore dresses and gowns.\nhe'd hang out almost exclusively with guys. (hello!) \nall the guys sat on one side of the table during the last supper, bending all over each other to grab the butter.\nhe even grew a beard to attract the daddy/leather crowd.\n\nwhat more proof do you want...i mean, do you need to smell sperm on his breath before you realize it?  wake up!!
