Isn't The Centurion's Servant one story in which a gay relationship may be mentioned in the Bible?

Question

"This is because the word used in Greek in the account given by Luke can mean "boyfriend"', we know that centurions and their personal servants often had sexual relations and it is stated that the centurion was very fond of the servant. If this story does mention a gay relationship, then it confirms that Jesus was less interested in what people did rather than in their faith and love." (Margaret Evans)

Mainworry, try my next question .it covers that!

Answer 1

Who is Margaret Evans and why do you keep quoting her? Because it would be easier to answer your questions if they were yours and not some rhetoric of which you may or may not know what you're actually seeking. According to my Greek Dictionary of the New Testament servant means slave. The word dear means more honoruable, precious, in reputation. This is why it is important you read only the Bible and allow the Holy Spirit to reveal to you what it is you need to know - then you have the knowledge that God imparts to you and not that of some Margaret Evans.

Answer 2

Going to the story of Mary Magdalene proves that Jesus cared more about the faith and love of the people more than who they were.
After Jesus dies, Peter had a dream where he saw all the unclean animals and was told to eat them. After a few times, he still didnt understand until God clarified; go and teach ALL nations. After the time of Jesus, God didnt, and still doesnt care who we are or where we come from, it is all about our love for Him and our faith in the teaching of the Lord Jesus.

To get back to your question, I'm not sure. But there are stories of incest (Lot and his daughters) in the Bible.

Answer 3

Man you are digging real deep on this one, be careful don't fall in. Oh, Marge Evans, I wondered where the pervey mindset was coming from.

Answer 4

I had never heard that but anything is possible. We do know that homosexuality was rampant in Jesus' time, yet he never said anything about it.

Answer 5

Nope.

Answer 6

Nope, you are DEAD wrong.
