I'd appreciate your feedback in my pm box or here.

Jesus was a Hebrew rabbi. Unusually, he was unmarried. The idea that he had a romantic relationship with Mary Magdalene is the stuff of fiction, based on no biblical evidence. The evidence, on the other hand, that he may have been what we today call gay is very strong. But even gay rights campaigners in the church have been reluctant to suggest it. A significant exception was Hugh Montefiore, bishop of Birmingham and a convert from a prominent Jewish family. He dared to suggest that possibility and was met with disdain, as though he were simply out to shock.

Heterosexual, bisexual, homosexual: Jesus could have been any of these. There can be no certainty which. The homosexual option simply seems the most likely. The intimate relationship with the beloved disciple points in that direction. It would be so interpreted in any person today. Although there is no rabbinic tradition of celibacy, Jesus could well have chosen to refrain from sexual activity, whether he was gay or not. Many Christians will wish to assume it, but I see no theological need to. The physical expression of faithful love is godly. To suggest otherwise is to buy into a kind of puritanism that has long tainted the churches.

What are you even on?
He was a gay Hebrew Rabbi.
A lot of Greek men showered together and bathed together though.
Even had very intimate group sessions of the same sex.
We do have some correlation... maybe we're not too far off.

Greeks shared their special love all the time in bath houses with the same sex.
Greeks were very open about their sexuality and language.
They were known for their sinful bathhouse behavior.

Solidifying my claims.
Even they knew Jesus was gay.

"Special love"
You keep leaving "Special" out and it's in the scripture.
Stop cherry picking.


Do you have "Special love" with your best male friend?
You dodged this before, you wont answer it.
