DID THE CENTURN AND HIS SERVANT HAVE A GAY RELATNSHIP?

While is possible this centurn is the gay centurn om Matthew 8:5, the events happened two thoand years ago and there is no way to prove one way or the apostle Peter had the privilege of leadg another centurn to savg fah Christ, Acts apostle Pl teracted wh three centurns, Acts 22:25, 24:23 and 27:1 but there is nothg scripture to dite that the centurns were the same dividual as the centurn Matthew Pl speak agast homosexualy? Here are some of the lks where I al wh that Context of Romans 1Romans 1 and HomosexualyWhat did arsenoko mean to Pl?

WAS THE CENTURN REALLY GAY AND IF SO, WHY DID PL SPEAK AGAST HOMOSEXUALY?

To answer your qutn then, nothg the Bible dit that Pl me ntact wh the gay centurn of Matthew 8:5 and Pl did not speak agast homosexualy. Th, his ncln was that by dog this, J sentially affirmed and ndoned, rather than nmned, homosexual sexual relatnships.

GAY CENTURN HERY

As Prton Sprkle explas his excellent book, People to Be Loved: Why Homosexualy is Not Jt an Issue, was mon the Gre-Roman culture of J’ day for homosexual sex to be part of the power differential a relatnship, but only as long as the domant partner was olr, of higher social standg, and the peratg role.

Furthermore, Sprkle go on to expla that such relatnships the ancient world were not at all like our morn nceptn of a gay uple a lovg, nsensual, -equal relatnship.

J AFFIRMED A GAY UPLE.

For example, the peratg partner such relatnships was not necsarily nsired “gay” or “same-sex attracted, ” rather this was an act of subjugatg the passive partner and was about assertg power. Furthermore, sce any such relatnship would have been abive nature, to say that this is an example of J ndong or affirmg a homosexual relatnship is far-fetched and misguid; certaly no one would argue that J, by healg this servant, was affirmg or ndong of the sexual abe of a mor by an olr man posn of power.

Although is very unlikely that this passage is speakg about the healg of a centurn’s same-sex partner, the qutn remas: Would J have healed a gay person? I highly remend the above mentned book, Prton Sprkle’s People to Be Loved: Why Homosexualy is Not Jt an Issue.

WOULD YOU LOVE A GAY AFFIRMG CHURCH?

Dpe the clary of the Christian church’s stance towards homosexualy, there are a number of stori throughout the Bible which, on closer examatn, reveal a potentially homoerotic unrcurrent.

POPE FRANCIS LLS FOR END TO ANTI-GAY LAWS AND LGBTQ+ WELE OM CHURCH

Levic’ Law on Homosexualy The nmnatn of homosexualy Christiany and Judaism is ultimately rooted this teachg om Levic, the third book of the Old Ttament and the Torah: “Do not have sexual relatns wh a man as one do wh a woman; that is ttable.

DID J AFFIRM A GAY COUPLE?

12, NIV Although this appears to be a nclive nmnatn of homosexualy, there is some evince to suggt that the Book of Levic was posed over time by a multu of wrers, as is te of many ancient texts; if this was the se, there may have been a versn of the book which stayed silent on the issue of homosexualy, as some scholars argue. In light of this possibily, I will now nsir a story om the New Ttament, which J appears to allow, and even endorse, a homosexual relatnship. A Homoerotic Interpretatn Many scholars have highlighted the nnotatn of the Greek noun pais, which the centurn to scribe his ill servant.

Instead, many have suggted a readg of the pais as his male lover, due to lerary evince of homosexualy the Roman ary. If we accept the theory that the nnectn of the centurn and his servant is homoerotic, then J’ amazement at the centurn’s fah be highly signifint the discsn of relign and sexualy.

Rather than remendg the ath sentence that is prcribed for male homosexualy Levic 20, J prais the man’s fah, tellg the crowd that he has never seen anythg like , and heals the pais.
