Was Jesus straight, gay, or just not bothered?

What kind of question is this?I find it offensive

sure,it's OK. i mean,what does his sexual orientation have to do with anything? he is a person like everyone else,he has feelings and no matter he is gay,he is still a child of God. people are selfish and they don't see that being gay is not that bad.Christians often think that being gay is a big sin,but so what?God won't send him to hell if his only sin is that he's gay.He will send to hell sooner those people who hate him because he's gay! So what's my point,there's nothing wrong with having a gay priest as long as he's a good person and as long as he does his job with pleasure and faith.

as someone who believes in the historical jesus and not the religious jesus, i would have to say that i would be none of the above.  i would simply be glad that it is him on the cross and not me.

That is just not true. Jesus has always been a Bud man....its in the Bible somewhere.

I think it went much further than Gay.  Much of the old writing were of a vengeful God. One whose name you could not mention.  Jesus freed us from the old testament.  Beside Jesus told us to love your brother, sounds pretty perverted to me.  But also pretty open minded.  His first invite to heaven was a theif wasn't it. If God is good and the Devil is evil both without the other concept in them aren't they equals in some sense. Hell was in the times of the Bible only a burning pit for the evilest of criminals outside the gates of Jerusalem not someplace of eternal damnation

um, no, actually, the apostles did not "hang out"0--they were doing the will of Christ, as missionaries--and furthermore they were not with only men: martha, mary, mary magdalene, lydia, and others are all women. men of that time did not predominantly spend time around women because of the culture, but that doesn't make every 1st century man a homosexual.\nPaul did preach against homosexuality, but not solely...he continued to encourage repentance from all sins (not to srike up the "whats a sin?" ordeal here).\nPaul's thorn in the flesh could've been his conversion blindness, but if you recall that was healed. it is believed that he was given an illness such as weak lungs or a mobility disability to be his thorn. i recommend referring to a theological teacher at a conservative seminary...trinity episcopal is (i think, don't quote me) or a pastor or other minister with strong faith and traditional doctrine in mind.

I don't think he is gay. He looks and acts straight, and he's got kids.\n\nEven if he was, so what? Interesting question though

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?

Maybe he is weared but not gay

I don't know who that is. If he was generally in a good mood, then yes, he could be termed as 'gay', which can also be used as a synonym for happy. If you are referring to his sexual orientation, since you phrased it in the past tense using the word "was", what difference does it make now?

According to the Christian bible Jesus got angry and turned over tables in a synagogue and he also whipped people for selling birds. God does not behave like this and it contradicts Jesus' teaching according to that same bible. The doctrine of Jesus being "fully man and fully god" was not believed by the early Christians and the Roman church came to this conclusion by voting. That's right, let's vote to determine what god is. f that.

Right on, brother! I'm with you all the way. That's the last thing Jesus would do, especially knowing that he purposely created that problem on earth for both gay and non-gay people to deal with. No pain, no gain. If you can be gay and make it through life following the good rather than evil in your heart, congratulations! In my opinion you've made it to heaven. The same holds true for non-gays when it comes to following the good in their hearts.\n\nPS,  I believe there is at least some genetic (gene) component that predisposes most gays to their attraction to the same sex. If so, who but God gave it to them?

Absolutely not.  Jesus was human as well as God if you believe in Christian interpretations of his life.  I think Jesus was at least a very spiritually advanced human, he knew how to love without judgment and how to forgive. It seems absurd to me that he would not have been married.

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.

Actually, homosexuals are the ones that Jesus would have dined with. Not only would they throw better parties, but as they are currently second class citizens, those are the ones who would be with.\n\nJesus would have loved them, as he loves all people.  He would have been a lot more Christ-like than any of his current followers.  The thing that many people forget is Matthew 7 where Jesus says do not judge, lest you be judged as you have judged others.  Telling people that they way they feel is wrong and needs cleansing is in every way judging them.\n\nThose people who say it is a sin and to hate the sin, not the sinner, clearly know no gay people.  The problem with that theory, is it isn't a choice.  _Real_ gay people don't wake up one morning suddenly deciding that they're going to be gay any more than straight people wake up and make the conscience decision to be attracted to the opposite sex.  And anyone who says otherwise is a liar, though I'm not judging them for it.\n\nSo, to answer your question, Jesus would have treated them better than the current followers and many of the people answering this question would have done!!

I think he is okay but, the hatred on gays is pathetic. He seem to have a christian prospective but, need some guidance. He consider himself a christian and going to heaven but, hating on gays is giving him a seat in HELL.

As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing wrong with being gay.I have a couple close friends who just happen to prefer the same gender, and I wouldn't change them for the world! I think it's a huge compliment for a woman to tell me she'd like to sleep with me,even though I'm straight.The bible says homosexuality is an abomination in the Old Testament.I'll get back to you on the specific verses.
