...and all 12 of his disciples were men.

Actually it's quite common for 30 year old Jewish men to live at home with their moms. Everyone knows this!
Really, Jewish comedians use this as material all the time.

Well I think you got mostly the cute answers you were expecting, but if you understand Jewish culture and religion at all you would know that he was not gay and that some of the disciples were indeed married. Go do some research into life in the time of Jesus in the Middle East. The Bible isn't the only source of history. Ever heard of Josephus? Do some research if you really care for an answer.

I would say that He did not have a girl friend. He knew that His destiny was death for all mankind. Having a girlfriend or wife would have caused undo grief for that woman. He knew His job was to do the will of the Father. Being hated by mankind is not easy on one man no less a family.
You also need to remember that at the time sexual promiscuity was not looked upon with respect or dignity as it is today. Having a girl friend did not mean a man was having sex with her. There was a engagement period that was considered as marriage. That lasted 1 year without a consummation of the marriage. During that year if a woman became pregnant the man had the right to give her a certificate of divorce.

His followers actually included 12 men and 7 women (Peter took his wife everywhere). There is a real HOT debate going on right now about the nature of his relationship with Mary of Magdala. Recommend you read the Gospel of Mary of Magdala by Karen L. King (Harvard school of Divinity). It is flustering the bejeebers out of the Baptists.

Jesus wasn't gay. Jesus didn't have a girlfriend because he already had a plan set before he came down to earth, and having a girlfriend wasn't one of them. In fact, the bible says that being gay is wrong and Jesus never sinned so he wasn't gay.

Who said he didn't? There are lots of things about Jesus that aren't in the Bible. You read about his birth, his studies around age 12 (and that might only be in one of the Gospels), and then about age 30-33, his ministry. Lots of blanks. Ditto the apostles. Read the Da Vinci Code for an interesting take on this issue.

I hope you are kidding! Are you gay and looking for an excuse to justify it? I think you probably wanted someone to get mad and debate with you, but I don't think you really want your question answered. But if you do, the answer is No! He was and is God and he was and is perfect. Therefore He would not have been gay. According to His Word being gay is an abomination and the consequences of it are basically rotting in hell for all of eternity!

Jesus was just a character in a story. But, anyway, men didn't like women back then in "biblical" times. They just didn't write about the women as much as they wrote about what those all-important men did.

Are you mocking him?? he had better things to do (like teach ppl about his word and perform miracles) then go **** around with some chick. he was not gay. how can someone say that being gay is wrong and yet be gay?
and just so you know, the divinci code was just a theory so there is no truth to it. all that bull about mary magdalene being his wife and having kids with her is a huge lie!!!!
