Personally I don't believe that Jesus' sexual orientation makes a difference in regards to his work.
John 21:20 reads,
-Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was following them. (This was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and had said, "Lord, who is going to betray you?")

Does this shed light on Jesus' sexuality?
2007-10-11 11:32:01 · update #1
no, i don't think it don't think it does. i really never thought of it b4. But now u mentioned it, i don't think it matters. He was the Son of a God, and well, I think if he can go into a desert, see sexy, nekkid women ( i'm str8, women are not sexy to me. Now Kenny Chesney, THAT'S sexy!!!) and not be tempted, well, that says something about his sexuality.

The disciple that Jesus loved was John. He loved John as much as a brother, so much He left His mother Mary into John's keeping.This verse has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with sexual orientation. For your information Jesus was a heterosexual, for Him to be a homosexual would have been a sin, Jesus never committed any sin.

If you could honestly say that this could be evidence of Jesus being homosexual then I can tell you have never read the Bible. Jesus talks about love probably more than anything else.
By the way there are two different forms of love in the Greek. One means love for the brethren and one means romantic love. This is the former.

*fake gasp*
Jesus can love other humans just like us?!?? Jesus can have emotions and feelings?!!? That MUST mean he's gay!
Jesus also loves all the little children of the world too, you know! Ahhh!!!!

Why limit access to divine inspiration? Why not think, believe and expect that access to divine inspiration is limitless? I theorize that a belief in limited access to divine inspiration creates a need for the establishment of ideological authorities to act as intermediaries between communities of faithful believers and a good one in Heaven. Some of these ideological authorities who act as intermediaries claim that the mystery of myth is infact discovery of truth. That is some of these ideological authorities who act as intermediaries claim that the myth of exclusive divine revelations of spiritual knowledge recorded in writings contained within the sacred scrolls that serve as the foundation of their particular religion is infact discovery of the truth, word, will, way and laws of a good one in Heaven at war with an evil one cast down to and ruling over Earth. Based upon this claim, these ideological authorities affirm an ability to know about the existence of a good one in Heaven at war with an evil one cast down to and ruling over Earth and claim a belief. Based upon this belief, aggressive ideological traditions lead by conservative ideological authorities patronized by a mercenary plutocratic predatory few invoke a good one in Heaven to make threats against the life and or afterlife of anybody who does not submit to their authority; and to extort from communities of faithful believers tithes and offerings in exchange for a lifelong indoctrination in a standard of conduct that these same ideological authorities proclaim to be discovery of the truth about the will of a good one in Heaven at war with and evil one cast down to and ruling over Earth.

actually much of what it means to be cute nowadays is reflected in a comprehension of a reversal of sexual opinionation as it judicially coerces people to assuage their disarming and non-volitional tendencies to view one human being as the ultimate guy or girl or w/E..

Jesus was without sin, which explains what this passage may or may not mean.
