Well was he? There appears to be nothing in the bible to suggest otherwise. I ask this as a serious question as it would throw so much light on current issues and debates about homosexuality.
This is in no way intended to offended Christians...it is a serious search for some truth. There is certainly nothing I can see in the bible that indicates that he was Heterosexual and homosexuality was widely practised at the time. It also interest me that of the twelve chosen to be his disciples they were all men. Maybe someone can put me right on some biblical knowledge. But I cannot find a single passage where he sees women as 'desireable' and yet he is always on the lookout for men 'A fisher of men'. Your thoughts would be appreciated. ![]() |

One, this is pointless because there is no way of proving right or wrong since all we can base our points on is pure belief. There's no such thing as pure truth. I'm a hardcore believer in God, but then again I am not completely sure my beliefs are right, I just have faith in them.
Two, let's forget what I just said for a minute and keep on-track. Jesus was not heterosexual or homosexual or anysexual. Jesus was sent to this earth for the sole purpose of teaching and saving our souls from being condemned forever. I think I spelled that wrong maybe, blah blah blah. The crap with Mary Magdalene [or however it's spelled because I'm thinking of the Spanish spelling but that's not important right now] is most probably not true. She might've liked him, but he was not capable of liking her back, due to the fact that he wasn't sent to this world to live a regular human life. That and... how could he have kids? nonono. Three, I hate when people try to act like smartasses to try to prove themselves better than others, and there's one girl in this forum that just gets on my nerves but I'll remain silent as of who she is. No it's not the really smart 12-yr-old, I think she's pretty cool. Ok. I think I'm done, even though I could be forgetting half of what I wanted to say. [: |

QUOTE(marfmallow @ Sep 11 2005, 1:29 PM) One, this is pointless because there is no way of proving right or wrong since all we can base our points on is pure belief. Thus, the beauty of debate. Something I found that was interesting. For those that question why a debate like this would come into question. http://www.postfun.com/pfp/homosexual.html#scripturehomo QUOTE But Scripture never condemns homosexual behavior by itself. It is condemned when practicing idolatry or sacred prostitution. It is condemned when promoting promiscuity. It is condemned when forcing violent rape or seducing children. And it is condemned when violating a guests' right to dignity as a male. Also, Scriptural references only speak of homosexual acts - not homosexual people. Not until the Revised Standard Version of the Bible (revised from the King James version in 1885) do we find references to homosexuals themselves. These occur in translating the Greek words "malakoi" and "arsenokoitai" in Paul's letters. Never is the issue of homosexual behavior between loving, homosexual partners addressed in Scripture. The reason is simple: biblical cultures did not have knowledge of homosexuality as a psychological identity. In biblical times homosexuality was known only by the acts people committed, not as a sexual personality. A person born heterosexual assumed homosexual acts to be something people did for dominance or in perversion of their inner identity. Scripture and Homosexuality Jesus homo? I still personally think not. There are numerous scriptures I could quote but if you all that interested go pick up the bible for yourself. ![]() |
