if jesus were alive now, would he attempt to 'heal' gay people like lepers, or would he be cool?

Question

i dunno, hes quirky

Answer 1

He would probably tell them the same as the next non-Christian - that their sins can be forgiven. :)

Answer 2

Jesus is loving and compassionate. I am not Jesus so I can't speak or pretend to know what he would do. I guess those that had great faith would be healed. With great effort on their part. How many gay's are willing to put themselves out extra more than usual for anything? Except a great sale? Or putting down the ex, ex? No offense intended.

Answer 3

Jesus tried to heal humanity of it's ills but many were not listening. Being gay is not a disease but a lifestyle. God loves all His children not based on religionists pointing the finger like the Sadducees and the Pharisees but on the fact we are his children and he wants a kinship or fellowship with us.

Answer 4

Jesus is risen from the dead.
He lives and expresses Himself through His Body - the True Church, born of the Spirit.
This is what happened to those in the City of Corinth; that notoriously wicked city of ancient Greece:
The Apostle Paul writes saying
"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 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God."
I Corinthians 6:9-11

Notice especially the last part of the quote. What Jesus did for the Corinthians, He can do today to all who call upon Him in faith.

Answer 5

I assume your question means that he would be uncool if he didn't think that homosexuality was a great idea?

Jesus wasn't cool, ever. Jesus told the truth, as he, a practicing Jew, saw it, and acted on it. He would forgive a homosexual like he would any adulterer, and admonish him or her to go and sin no more. There is no indication that he viewed sin as a disease to be cured or an injury to be healed.

This assumption that Jesus would view homosexual activity as sin (adultery) is based on the Bible as it is, not as anyone might wish it to be. It also has nothing to do with my personal beliefs.

Answer 6

Im sure He would be disgusted....after all, that was a large part of the reason why God destroyed the citiessodom and gamora. I really dont understand how people think that it is right. I mean, whether you believe in God or not, anatomically the parts just dont go together. If you believe in evolution, then you know that, as animals, we are programmed to procreate...I understand that we are evolved and have the choice of whether we would like to procreate or not, however, homosexuals do not really have this choice...unless they deviate from homosexuality. So if you believe in God...homosexuality is wrong. If you believe in evolution and procreation.....homosexuality is wrong.

Answer 7

If he was "the word made flesh"--"the word" being the old testament, which was the only word around in his time--then he would think male on male homosexuality was an abomination, like the "word" says, or he wouldn't have really been the word made flesh.

Why would he attempt to heal them, "gayness" is a choice or an internal desire, not a disease.

Answer 8

I would hope he would heal Christians of their irrationality and intolerance.

Back in the 70s there was a t-shirt that said "Jesus is coming ... and boy is he pissed."

I can only assume it referred to his "followers."

Answer 9

Depends. If they have leprosy, then maybe yes. I'm sure he'd be happy to heal anyone, gay or straight!

Answer 10

Gay people don't need healing

Answer 11

Presumably he would be smart enough to realize that the concept of "healing" homosexuals is utterly silly, so he would be cool.
