i'm serious, could jesus have been a gay man?

Question

you never hear about him being with women. that's just not natural for a man in his thirties. he hung around with 12 guys who didn't seem to have much interest in women either. what's with that? just wondering.

Answer 1

I can definitely see him with a d*ck in his mouth. However, he has not been proven by archealogists to have existed, so the lack of details regarding his sex life were probably overlooked when the authors of the bible developed his story.

Answer 2

just because you never get married does not mean you are gay. Jesus was sent here for the sole purpose of being the sacrifice that would atone for all of mankind's sins. He was to concentrate on his relationship with God, the Father not on women. Do you know how distracting a woman can be for what you need to get done? And as far as the twelve guys Peter was married there is mention of Peter's mother in law in the bible so we know that at least one of these men had a wife. There are still people to this day that dedicate their live's the the service of God and not to being married or whatever. Some are called to serve God some are called to marriage.

Answer 3

Would an answer in either direction matter. The point of Christs message was that we need to look at ourselves and work towards our own purification, and not be so worried with everyone else. Your observations about "natural" is irrelevant - naturally none of us are the biological offspring of God. Jesus Christ was the exception as the only begotten son. If your faith were to be questioned because he was gay, or black, or had green hair, in short any temporal label is a very mistaken attempt to be more Christlike by making Christ more like us. His message of Gods love and understanding are often clouded by dogma and politics of a imperfect and unholy world. His ways are not our ways. Don't mean to step on a soapbox...

Answer 4

No, Jesus could not have been gay. Homosexuality is a abomination to God. The power of God would not flow through Him if He lived that kind of life style. Sin blocks the flow of the anointing of God. As for the disciples, Peter did have a wife and it is believed that some disciples had wives and families. Here's a thought to consider. How many years did Adam live in the garden without a women, and he lived in perfect peace and harmony with just him and God alone. The key to understanding why Jesus did not need a woman is understanding that you are complete with just you and God alone. God is alone to sustain every facet of your life with just His Presence alone. That is how Great God is.

Answer 5

Serious theologians have actually asked this. It was very rare for a 30 year old Jewish man not to have been married at that time. Whether Jesus felt sexual attraction for anyone, though, is the greater question. In Jesus was God incarnate, then he probably loved everyone equally. Sexual love would have made some unequal.

Answer 6

That's a distortion of the Biblical record.

John 11:5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

Luke 8:2 Now it came to pass afterward, that He was traveling through every city and village, preaching and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom of God, and the twelve were with Him, 2 and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities; Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, 3 and Joanna the wife of Chuza, a supervisor of Herod, and Susanna, and many others who were ministering to them from their belongings.

Answer 7

Serious? hmm

Here's my response: Jesus was absolutely pure. He was God spelling Himself out in words we could understand.

If you are as serious as you say, then come and let us reason together.

There are many admonitions against homosexuality in the Bible; in both Old and New Testaments it is identified as sin. There are also many references to God's displeasure with sin, and references to His purity turning away from the sight of sin. There are many accounts of people and entire civilizations being destroyed as the result of sin.

Now, it follows that if you accept that Jesus lived, which you do by inference, you accept the Bible as fact, too. Consider these points when you consider validity of the Bible: Preservation despite book burnings, despots and satanists; Fulfilled Prophecy--about one third of the Bible is prophetic, accurately speaking of things hundreds of years in the future, while our modern day weathermen can't even get the forecast right; Agreeing Truths; Changed Lives. Now consider the fact that the Bible was written by over 40 authors over many hundreds of years; they could not have been in collusion. And why would they conspire to cheat us with a lie?

There is nothing we can experience in the world today that is not in the Bible. There, we can learn the consequences of sin, of failure to act appropriately, of lack of morality and lack of wisdom.

The Bible is written only to help us; there is nothing difficult about it and nothing secretive. If you take all of those factors together (and you cannot, logically, take them separately) it becomes obvious that Jesus is just as the Bible states: The Son of God. Pure. Faultless. Without Sin.

Answer 8

What are you talking about,When was the last time you read the Bible and understood that some of the men were married with children. Until you Get a better understand of the word of God Just cut this craziness out..

Have a Blessed Life and read your Bible everyday

Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with woman kind it is abomination.

Answer 9

Never. Jesus (pbuh) was a dignified prophet of God. God's messengers are a mercy for the human beings. Don't think anything about Jesus the way you think about your father. He could have lived his normal married life but even before things have changed and he was raised by God and he would be coming back soonnnnnnnnnn.

Answer 10

the idea of being gay really does not apply to that time period -- 'gay' is a modern phenomenon. Plato's sex with his [male] students was certainly erotic but not gay as we understand the term.

Similarly, Jesus may have had erotic feelings for men [the references to John the Apostle, especially, has been read as homoerotic] but that would not mean that he was 'homosexual' or 'gay'. Even today in the Middle East, many men have sex with men and think of themselves and others think of them as 'straight.'

The Biblical record provides no evidence that Jesus actually had sex with anyone -- he was probably celibate, like the Essenes and other religious virtuosos of the time.

Answer 11

This is totally absurd and blasphemous. He was put on this earth to preach peace and Christianity. He chose the 12 Apostles as His messengers to help Him spread Christianity. Not everyone has to be with a man or woman to make their life complete. Sex is not the main quality of having a good relationship. And, NO, he was not involved with or married to Mary Magdalene.
