When Jesus was here on earth... if he would have turned out to be gay...
Would God had sent him to hell, if he still performed miracles and did everything else exactly as it is worded??

Ok lets start with religion, Religion was made ages ago because humans can't explain natural phenomena happening around them. Today, there is this thing we call of science , though it might have limitations, it still explains a lot of things. So since science exists. what else good will religion do? The answer to that is MORALITY.
Religion helps us do the right things. For example, Christianity. There is a heaven and a hell. Heaven is the place of desires, and hell is a place of suffering. To go to heaven, we need to do good things because if we do sin, we will go to hell. This is an example of teaching people on how to determine the difference of what is right and what is wrong. Heaven and Hell dont actually exist, these places are in our minds. If we do good, it feels like having your desires fulfilled, therefore we will be in heaven (state of mind) , but if we do bad, we will soon feel like suffering and regretting what we have done, so we will be in hell, suffering (again state of mind), thus teaching us to do what is right.
these places dont actually exist.
Going to God, God is not what we really think he is, he's not a supreme being, nor is he our creator. God DOES exist but not how most people see it. God is our conscience. He guides us and tells us whats right and whats wrong. he encourages us to do what's right. The fear of the lord thing, is all about doing what's right. We dont really fear god since he is our conscience.
about jesus, historians say that he did exist. BUT he didnt rise from the dead, nor did he perform miracles. jesus is just a historical figure used to encourage us to do what is right.
the bible is all literature helping us distinguish the differences between what is right and what is wrong.
Another example would be Buddhism .
Buddhism was founded by a very rich prince named Siddharta Gautama.
one day, he looked out at his window and saw a lot of poor people suffering. then he asked himself "why are these people not enjoying what i have ?"
problems stem from desires, to eliminate problems, we must also eliminate our desires.
so what happened to siddharta was he left all his riches and lived a very poor life, the same to how the people he saw in his window did. when he died. people thought that he achieved nirvana meaning eternal happiness. then his name was changed to buddha because of this.
Now, nirvana, is like heaven. fulfilled desires. but in reality, like heaven it is a state of mind. an example would be this, you wanted something really really nice. but you didnt have enough money to buy it. so, obviously, since your so obsessed with it, it will result to you stealing. stealing is obviously wrong. now, as siddharta had said "problems stem from desires", it applies here. so if we dont have desires. then we will be happy and we wont be stealing and we wont be doing wrong things since we are already happy. thats why they say siddharta achieved nirvana (eternal happiness), but dont be confused. nirvana is also a state of mind. when we dont have problems and desires, we will be happy. so this will lead us to doing the right thing. (or doing nothing wrong)
so my answer is this Jesus would not go to hell since God is only the state of mind. (part of it)
Additional Information: Some events in the bible did happen but not the way they were described in the bible. But a lot of events never happened.
To clarify everything, there will really be a supreme being IF there was only ONE universal belief. But, unfortunately no,a lot of religion exist today. if the God of Christianity did create the world, how come other people have a different belief for the reason of their existence?
If God really made everything, then the whole world will only have one religion but because there are too many religions, then the idea of god, miracles, or any other stuff would only have come from the human mind.
Finally concluding this, RELIGION TEACHES US MORALITY. SOULS, AFTERLIFE AND SUPREME BEING/S DON'T EXIST.

Well, i guess you ask the question, "What if GOD smoked cannabis" Would he still have created man and he probably did smoke pot because the world was created with a warped sense of humour. And regardless of what the catholic bible says,(most of which is blasphemy). I doubt GOD would hate homosexuality or lesbianism, cos he gave us the ability to choose, and the gift to know right from wrong. Well unless you are a sociopath or murderer or child molesterer,(which these ppl think what they do is ok). I'm sure we have the ability to decide for ourselves as to what makes us tick. What more can i say without insulting all the religious groups, there are many.

We are told not to judge.
I know that I am not perfect, yet for some reason God loves me.
I would like to think he loves everybody else as well.
We should not ostracize our gay brothers and sister. Jesus teaches us to love each other.
Just think, why don't you hear as much about divorce from the pulpit as you do about gays? There is much more about divorce in the bible then about gays. It even says if you marry a divorced woman you cause her to commit adultery. The reason may be that there is not equal time given to that subject of divorce is that it would offend a huge part of the Congre gay shun. Every family has a loved one in it that is divorced. It would not be expedient to attack the divorced people because way to many of us are. Including me. Then we would have to call the church members the Congr divorce shun. Think about it, we should no more shun gay people then we do divorced people.
But the fundamental teaching is:
"Love your God with all your heart and all your soul."
And another way of saying it is:
"Love your neighbor as you love yourself"
It is the same teaching, just two different ways of saying it. This is the entire law. Everything else is just commentary. Start living your life according to this principle and the indwelling spirit of Christ will enter your life.
We get so hung up on so much stuff, like worrying about who is a worst sinner then us. What religion(s) are not as good as ours. We look at every ones issues so much that we forget the fundamental teaching.
It is simple!
Love one another!
Blessings and peace to all,
All in all,
B

If Jesus sinned in any way then God's plan of Salvation would have failed and we would still be sinners and not be able to receive Salvation. But Jesus defeated sin and death on the cross and with that we all have the free gift of eternal life and have a purpose to live and a future with Jesus

ooooooh my that makes perfect sense then ,, perhaps judas was a scorned lover turning jesus over to the authorities after he found out he was a part of a love triangle involving himself jesus and mary magdalene ,, after all jesus did love every one so to say he was bi sexual may be more appropriate

i had previously written "a true christian" cant take take this q seriously..."......i was being judgemental my apologies so i edited it
ok God is NOT homosexual .....if jesus was only human and not God (this goes against what i believe) christianity would not exist today. His apostles wud not have had the courage to die for Him to proclaim His "good news" and the world as we know it wud not be

If you knew the scriptures, your question would not have gone there. I am Bisexual and a Christian, you are speculating upon something that couldn't happen. You really, really don't know the scriptures - especially with all the Old Testament references to who Jesus is.

When God is your dad, you can probably get away with any sort of indiscretion.
