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. ![]() |

Jesus is and was not homosexual. In the bible it condemns homosexuality. As people have already stated, Jesus was perfect, pure, holy, without sin. Homosexuality was condemned and Jesus being pure as he was, would not and could not be homosexual. Jesus did not have relations with any human, woman or man, because that is not why he was here. His purpose was not to procreate. Jesus' love, agape, is how he loved everyone, he never had romantic feelings or anything of the sort. There is no way that Jesus was mistakenly killed; that it was the wrong peron. Everyone knew who Jesus was. He traveled much and performed miracles and made claims that he was the Son of God which led him to be widely known. He was persecuted all of his life. His sole purpose was to die on the cross for our sins and because of that there is no way someone else could have accidentally been killed because they claimed they were Jesus. Who would want to do such a thing in the first place? They would get persecuted. People wanted Jesus dead. Why would someone claim to be him? That's not logical. People didn't even want to associate themselves with Jesus for the fear of getting persecuted. Just like Ellen stated, Judas is the one who basically sold Jesus out which is further evidence for the fact that it was not a mistaken death. Also like she said, Jesus did not put up a fight but went willingly. Any other man could not have taken such torture and would not have done so willingly either. There is no reason for Judas to sell out another random person and state that he is Jesus so that that person would die instead. Why? Because again, Jesus' purpose was to die on the cross. About God not having sex and Mary becoming pregnant deal, well, God is all powerful. He made Adam out of dust. God is also not human. Thus, no sperm. Jesus is the "human form" of God. If he was able to make a complete human being, Adam, out of dust and Eve out of one of his ribs I'm positive he could have impregnated a virgin. And this so called "alien style" does not mean that Jesus would have to be deformed or anything of the sort. Once again because God is all powerful Jesus did look human, that was the point. There is no reason for anything to be excluded or expunged from the bible. The bible is all truth, all facts. Of course that's coming from me, a believer, and others will think otherwise. Prostitutes were talked about in the bible. The only ones spoken of were not just those that repented. The bible talked of sinners and talked of those who never once repented, not just of those who repented. Furthermore, of course Jesus did as he preached. Of course. He was perfect, holy, pure, without sin. And removing something to make the religion make more sense is stupid. Sorry, but it is. No religion makes complete sense. That's not the point of it either. It's supposed to be about faith, "being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." (Hebrews 11:1) which to me connotes that we must also have faith in the bible while we might not entirely understand it. That's why it would be quite pointless to attempt to make the bible make more sense by changing stories. The bible is what it is.
Uhm, I had more to write and address but I'll do that at a later time. |
