I see lots of questions here questioning Jesus' sexual preferences. I also see a lot of people give angry answers to those questions.
I truly can't understand that. Wasn't the message of Jesus is His words? I don't judge the words from my gay friends differently than I judge the words of my straight friends.
So, why does it matter if Jesus was gay ?

Any one who even opened the Bible would know the answer to this question - Since being gay means a trip to Hell - I do not think Jesus was gay.
Oh - don't think God would send gays to Hell, well God said He would:
1 Corinthians 6:9-10:
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 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
And please spare me the BS that these verses cannot be correct.

you'll have to give me an address for that scripture I must have missed it. Wonder how many are looking in their concordances wondering where did it say that.
I do not need to know if such a twistable quote exists. No where does it say that being gay (having a liking for ones own sex) is something that disqualifys one for the good stuff. It does however state that practicing gay s are in error, and then eneligible for things like entering heaven.. Let's consider the audience. No anti biotics available, diseases every where, possibility of transferring diseases abundant. Children harmed by diseases. Even today many get prostatitis from dipping ones wick in wrong oriface and it is often incurable and extremely contagious and very uncomfortable.
The case can easily be made that the best way to stop promoting the spread of disease is by having people stay with the mates they chose for life, and not passing infections around.
It would have been a bad example if Jesus had been a practicing gay person.
I see nor hear no one saying that being gay is not a deviation from the intended purpose of sexual behavior, in fact the latest studies indicate that being gay may be caused by trauma in the womb, and thus would be a deviation. This can be debated but this is my opinion given the current observations I witnessed in daily life.

He wasn't gay, and posing such a question is like asking "what would it matter if the sea were dry?" or "...if every star suddenly fell from the sky?", or ".....gravity was suddenly suspended without warning?"
He cannot deny who He really is, and He won't do anything contrary to His Father's Word.
(By the way, this isn't an angry response, but an honest one.)

Yes, it would matter. If Jesus were gay he wouldn't have been a sinless man, therefore couldn't have died for our sins.
So based on that ,Jesus was not gay - I mean really, some people have to search far and wide to come up with some of these things.
How in the world does GAY and JESUS come into play?

jesus was a man
("christ" is a man-made title put on him by biographers)
jesus' sexual preferences
were important
only to
his partner/s
none of us are
whether or not we believe that jesus made moral choices in his sex life,
our charge is to
look to the motes in our own eyes
(to use a christian phrase)
..to put the rock down
or move out of our glass house
(to use another)
only christians
should be so concerned
with ferreting out
the "truths" about jesus
(they won't succeed, however)
all
other-believers
shouldn't bother
to waste their time
arguing about something
which is,
to them,
merely an intellectual
point of discussion
(UNHEATED discussion, at that)
just like
non-wiccans and non-pagans don't argue
with wiccans about whether or not aether should be included with the classical elements,
and with pagans about whether or not there are many nature deities or one universal deity that has been fractured into all living things,
non-christians should not argue w/christians about their religion's beliefs about jesus
now, non-christians may argue with anyone
about historical facts and suppositions of...jesus, for example.
but, don't get all hysterical about it.
afterall,
you don't allow youself to get so worked up about
other intellectual issues
if any christian is angry,
he is a failure in his religion
but, that's not OUR business
we have more
enjoyable ways
to spend our days
and nyxs
--just like jesus did

Sometimes I read these answers and I wonder Good Lord forgive them for they are sinning and they have no idea what they are doing.
Jesus is not gay. For those who would like to be enlightened and learn, Jesus is the son of God and without him we can not enter heaven.
Jesus was sent to this world to be crucified for ungrateful humans like ourselves so we can have a chance to enter heaven and inherit the eternal life. This particular line is specifically for those people who disrespect my Lord Jesus Christ by sinning with words such as mentioned above. The least you could do is have respect for the holy spirit and the Lord Jesus as he came to this world only for us, carried our sins on his shoulder and got crucified. How many actually says thank you Lord for my daily bread. How many actually says thank you for the good and bad in my life. How many says thanks you for the fact that I am alive well and healthy.
Before you speak the evil you need to think twice. Example of hell. Light a candle and place your finger on that candle for a minute and tell me how it felt. Remember those who sin its not their finger will burn BUT THEIR SOUL.
Therefore, ask forgiveness for what you have said and did.

Because it's sin . Would you ask the same question if He was a child molester?Your only trying to justify yourself when it Is Jesus who justifies those who have truly repented.Go and repent of this and any other sin. And Jesus will forgive you.I will be praying for this .

It doesn't. Amen.
And why these fools claim that Jesus preached against homosexuality is just blatant ignorance. Sheesh, I'm not even religious and sometimes I think I have a better idea of who said what in the Bible.

Because the bible says you can't be gay and if jesus was gay, then the bible is wrong, which throws people into fits. Or if the bible is right, then jesus wasn't the savior, and that gives people fits.

You've not notice that Christians have a rabid hatred of GLBT's?
Not for any reason mind you, just because the bible tells them so.
Here are some hate groups to help you understand:

Some have benign sound names some just come right out with it but the agenda is all the same.
It is funny though, Christ never mentioned homosexuality.
Yet, most Christians can't stop talking about it.
