Was jesus Gay?

Question

I think there's a good chance that Jesus was gay because he never showed a desire for women but he did kiss a man. Maybe that's why god had him tortured and beaten. He didn't like him because he was a fag. I know you were taught that he died for your sins(murder, rape, ect.) but he could have just came down, went to sleep and never woke up. Wouldn't that be dying for your sins? does it make a difference how he died? A perfect man would get married and have sex. Obviously, Jesus wasn't perfect. If his penus never got hard, something had to be wrong with it or he never found a woman that would turn him on because he was probably gay.

Answer 1

Well, the Bible doesn't talk about a lot of Jesus's life, but you do have to assume some things went on that weren't in the scripture. For instance, you never see a passage that says anything like:

"And Lo, upon reaching Nazareth, Jesus got off the donkey and headed straight to the bathroom, for he had to take a wicked piss..." so saying Scripture didn't come right out and say it doesn't necessarily mean it wasn't part of his life.

Yet, you would imagine at some point in that thirty three years he had to go to the bathroom. It's just not something they talk about.

As for whether or not he's gay, I know a lot of people throw a fit if you mention the words "Jesus" and "gay" in the same sentence, but you know... it's a popular theory, and people do have some good evidence to back up the idea.

You can find some interesting reading on the subject online (quite easily, too). For instance:

http://www.spiritrestoration.org/Church/All%20About%20Church%20Articles/Was-Jesus-Gay.htm

http://www.counterpunch.org/foley05142005.html

And it keeps going and going and going. Just google the phrase "was Jesus gay" and get ready... it's a REALLY popular theory, apparently.

There are arguments on both sides, and you have to make your own decisions on that. I know others would say "no, you most certainly do not", but as far as I'm concerned if you examine the evidence and draw the conclusion that makes the most sense to you based on the evidence, I can respect that. =)

Answer 2

Jesus wasn't gay. the reason is because he was the only person to live a perfectly sinless life. Homosexuality is a sin, therefore Jesus wasn't gay. He was the perfect representation of God since he was God in the flesh, as a result, he never had a sexual desire, lust, etc. Jesus' purpose for coming to earth was to teach about god and die for our sins not to get married!!!

Answer 3

No, absolutely not! Before you actually put across a viewpoint its better to get the facts right. And does that mean that all who abstain from marriage and sex are outright morons?

Finally 2000 years of history will not lie about a great man without him mankind would have no respite from sin in the first place. Its upto you...whether you accept it or reject it. A fact is a fact becuase its a fact. We all have a choice that we can exercise at every point of our lives.

Answer 4

The "Secret" Gospel of Mark does imply that Jesus had a sexual relationship with Lazarus.

Then there are gospels that have Jesus married and having children with Mary Magdelene.

There's no way to know any of this for certain.

All we know for sure is that Jesus was a Jewish settler from the West Bank.

Answer 5

I was going to say you go too far, but not the first time i heard that question, but scholars found text in the New Testament that people do use to back that kind of claim.

One of the disciples, they Never said he's name (it was John according to John 21:24)
They only used the title: "That disciple whom Jesus loved" or "That disciple".

John 13:23
John 19:26
John 20:2
John 21:7
John 21:20

Yes, he was the one leaning on Jesus' bosom. "bosom" lol
( John 13:23 )

Yes, Peter was naked on a boat with that disciple.
( John 21:7 )

Believe it or not, there are more. . .

P.S. I am not saying Scholars said Jesus was gay or not. I do not mean to offend anyone. Peace and love.

Answer 6

Well you're obviously an atheist. Jesus was supposed to be perfect and therefore did not experience lust. And just because a man does not experience an erection does not make him gay.Oh and another thing, use spell check next time you ignorant bastard, it's spelled penis Not penus.

Answer 7

If Jesus was gay - then the God would not have been so adamantly opposed to it, but would have whole heartedly supported it - but he didn't - and since Jesus and God are of one spirit, then I think that pretty much rules Jesus being gay. Your question borders on sacrilegious which makes me offer the prayer that Christ and Stephen offered, Lord forgive them for they know not what they do.

Answer 8

Boy, you're looking to piss off some people tonight huh?

But I see where you're coming from. Jesus was human, and he was a flesh and blood adult man when he died and not once in the bible is there any mention of any women he might have loved, liked,courted, slept with, etc.

If he was alive now, it would certainly seem suspicious.

Answer 9

No, very doubtful.

There are rumors that he did have a wife, but that in order for Jesus to become a deity, that part of history was eliminated. I don't know for sure since I wasn't there, but it makes a lot more sense.

Answer 10

You sound like one of these people who are protesting the Military funerals. You know the Westboro Baptist Church. I hope you grow up! Maybe God will reach you one day and make you realize that Taunting religion, any religion, is disrespectful and I pray this happens.
