were any of the apostles gay? would jesus have kicked them out if he knew?

Answer 1

No the apostles were not gay. Even if they were Jesus would have loved them just like he loved other sinners. But God does hate the sin.

In Genesis 19:1-29 the cities of Sodom and Gommorah were destroyed because the people were so wicked. The men of the city wanted to have sex with other men. So God's judgement on the city was to destroy it by raining down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah.

Leviticus 18:22 (speaking to men in Israel) "Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable."

Leviticus 20:13 "If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads."

Romans 1:26-27 "Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion."

1 Corinthians 6:9 "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexual offenders...will inhereit the kingdom of God."

1 Corinthians 6:13 "The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body."

1 Timothy 1:8-10 "We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers."

Answer 2

If Jesus didn't kick out Judas, who He knew would betray him, then Jesus certainly wouldn't have kicked out an apostle for being gay or for having gay tendencies.

Jesus accepted--rather, called--Matthew the tax collector to be one of his twelve closest disciples. Tax collectors were one of the most hated people in first-century Israel. Jesus also allowed women to travel with him, which was unheard of for a rabbi. Jesus also spoke openly to a Samaritan woman, at a time when no Jew would talk to a Samaritan and no rabbi would talk in public to a woman. Jesus also rescued a woman caught in adultery, and told her, "Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more."

With all that evidence, I doubt that Jesus would have found a gay apostle intolerable, except that, I believe, Jesus would hope that his spirit, teaching, and influence would move that apostle not to practice homosexuality. Homosexuality is forbidden in the OT and the NT epistles, although Jesus never directly addressed it.

Answer 3

No they were not gay and if so way yes he would have. The bible tell u that this is wrong in fact God destroyed 2 city's over it Sodom and gamar. The bible clearly tell u that this is wrong and u will face hell and damnation if u are gay. he created man and women not man and man. yes he loves all people however they still can be punished didn't your parents punish u when u were bad even if it hurt them to do so. being gay is the work of the devil and I believe that those who think they are demon poesied. No it dose not mean they are evil the just have an evil spirit in then trying to keep them from god and telling them that its right. satin dose not have to use awful things to get us he can us things that we would never see as evil to do his evil deeds. just as God can use the devils evil deeds and let something good come from it. Like me I used to be a Drugi and now I am clean 8 years and can us my bad experience to help those who are doing the same thing get clean.

Answer 4

No, the apostles were not gay, and there is no proof to this claim whatsoever. You might as well try to prove (or disprove) that Gehn Khan was gay while your at it. I doubt that they would have joined up with him in the first place if they were.

Answer 5

I think they were all happy

a true Jew at the time, most men who were considered a Rabbi was also married, following the command to be fruitful and multiply

ask Mel White, ghost writer for Jerry Fall Well

"Most people hear them talk about a 'Christian nation' and think, 'Well, that sounds like a good, moral thing,' says the Rev. Mel White, who ghostwrote Jerry Falwell's autobiography before breaking with the evangelical movement. "What they don't know -- what even most conservative Christians who voted for Bush don't know -- is that 'Christian nation' means something else entirely to these Dominionist leaders. This movement is no more about following the example of Christ than Bush's Clean Water Act is about clean water."

Please, Jerry, hear your own words about segregation and apply them to my homosexual sisters and brothers. "I can see from the earliest days of my new faith in Christ," you told me, "that God had tried to get me to understand and to acknowledge my own racial sinfulness. In Bible College, the Scriptures had been perfectly clear about the equality of all men and women, about loving all people equally, about fighting injustice, and about obeying God and standing against the immoral and dehumanizing traditions of man."

The Scriptures are still clear about the equality of all men and women. The Scriptures are still clear about loving all people equally. The Scriptures are still clear about fighting injustice and standing against the immoral and dehumanizing traditions of man. Why can't you apply THOSE Scriptures to us instead of the six verses you misuse over and over again to clobber and condemn GLBT people?

Answer 6

Well since the bible is pretty clear on it's stance on homosexuality, there is every reason to believe they would not be allowed to stay in the ranks. Unless of course, the asked forgiveness and sinned no more.

Answer 7

I don't think so. He is suppose to love them anyway.
God said no matter what we are his children and he loves us.
Since he is the son of God i would think traits would resemble.
You should ask if he would have made them feel ashamed.
