Let's paraphrase that "no where in the bible does is say that Jesus was gay...? either.

Put another way, where in the Bible does it says Jesus was gay?
merely being homosexual is not a sin. it's the homosexual act that is considered sinful, no matter what. Heterosexual sex is sinful outside the maritual union and, in some cases, even within it.
Either way, Jesus remained celibate during His earthly ministry - so there is something that both hetero and homosexuals can learn from Jesus' behavior as it pertains to the Virtue of Chastity.

Well, we can use logic. If we take the Bible to be true, then we know that God feels that homosexual acts are sinful. Then, since it says in the Bible that Jesus was 1. the Son of God and 2. lived a sinless life, we can now come to the conclusion that Jesus was hetero, because for Him to be homosexual would have been a sin.

Jesus was without sin and homosexuality is a sin. He also did not get married because that is the better choice, to just be holy and set apart for God's use. IT's all in the bible.

We know that Jesus never sinned for one. It is also assumed that he had a perfect body, with no defects, being God. Second, there is no mention in the Bible of him not being "straight".

it does not say but in order for him to believe in the law which is in the first five books of the Torah or old testament or moses, he must know that it is against the law to lie with a man as one would with a woman. and just imagine for a second. what if everybody turned to become gay, what would happen? in the later years to come, in America, gayism will spread like wild fire because the government would put this stuff on the media as exceptable and little children will become at an early age having gay tendencies. this is another plot by the government to control population growth. they create wars and decease and have the knowledge to create a cure but wont. all this does is stop the population growth. because in there minds, less humans, less problems, less crime, less money and more money for the rich. so if you want to be gay, then more power to ya. that is your perogative. you can do what you like. its your body.

For those claiming that Jesus' alleged sinlessness is evidence that he was heterosexual, you are wrong.
His sinlessness only implies that he never had sex with a man. It says nothing about whether or not he was attracted to one.

EDIT: Quack has obviously never read the Bible. Jesus never stoned anyone. In fact he stopped the stoning of a prostitute... "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone".

well I really want to say this without offending the extremists, but there are people out there believe that jesus had relations with mary magdalene which proves that jesus likes women. But the thing why some people dislike is that ummm... she was kian ummm she used to work as a fun fun lady.

Jesus's sexual orientation is irrelevant. Worrying about it is a distraction.
Jesus gave up family life in order to focus on proclaiming the kingdom of God. He had no time for being a husband and dad. Our vocation (whether gay, straight, married or unmarried) is to similarly proclaim God's kingdom, via loving service to those in need.

Jesus was sinless. It says that everywhere in the Bible.
