Do you think you could show that kind of Love
without getting embarrassed or wanting to "use"
someone for sex?

You are saying this but do you have a reference to it in literature or the Bible that might be referenced?

It was tradition. Once, while visiting Panama, I was talking to a girl, and when it was time for her to go she kissed me on the cheek. I was pretty surprised, but realized that she was doing it because it was normal, like a handshake. She wasn't saying she liked me or anything. (Besides, she was like four years older than me) Maybe there is some obscure culture somewhere where touching hands is synonomous with our kissing, yet men frequently shake hands. Does this mean all men are gay? Of course not!

Are you really trying to assert that it was in a sexual way? that's ridiculous. I'm not even saying this as a christian, but that's really an absurd idea. I think it was more of a cultural and teacherly thing to do, especially with all of his close friends. Remember, this was over 2000 years ago, it wasn't some sort of massive taboo.

I could. A kiss on the mouth doen't mean it is a sexual kiss. Why should someone be embarrassed about showing love?

Do you know it's not unusual in Russia and the Baltic states even today? And it has nothing to do with sexual orientation? So why you gotta be a smart-alek?

i know that HE kissed both sexes.
from what i have learned, it is acceptable in their time to kiss another man as a greeting or goodbye.
i think that it is not sexual in nature.

of course! my grandmother used to kiss me on the mouth. in that case it was an ethnic thing.
In Gnostic literature 'to kiss on the mouth' also can mean to pass on special secret information.
