Jesus says to go alone into a secluded place to pray. Given that he traveled around with a man to woman ration of 13 to 1, is this Jesus' way of admiting he was scared to come out of the closet?

Eeesh! Have a sense of humor! Yes, this is a bit of an old one, but I still get a chuckle out of it. Calm down, take a chill pill. (Anyone gonna complain because I used the dated phrase "chill pill," a referent to the decades old prozac?)

So write a book about it.
Call it...
The Liberace Code.
You'll get the Christians angry, convince a few idiots that it's true, and make millions in the process!
But I'm more inclined to follow those stories about Jesus using cannabis. Miracles indeed...

According to the original Hebrew text, Jesus meant to pray to the Father in secret by giving Him your undivided time and attention without being distracted from the environment around you. That is how you grow more personal and intimate with the Lord. Jesus was the epitomine of Love so perfect love casts out fear. I doubt He was afraid of anything knowing that the Father always had His back.

This joke is rather old and boring by now, and too sick to be funny. I admire the patience of your first answerers. They must be better Christians than me...
Edit: 'Chill pill' is fine, blasphemy NOT.

Matthew 6:6 "But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to the Father which is in secret; and thy Father Which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly."
This place is telling us about privacy, so that there would be no distraction when praying.

Many women traveled with Jesus. He did pray by himself. I see no logical implication of what you are asking.

No Jesus wasn't gay. Did you forget that the Romans were in power? Gays and Bi's didn't have to hide in the closet!!!!

Um, the Christian "New Testament" was originally written in Greek, not Hebrew.
