WAS J GAY? PROBABLY
<p><strong>Pl Otreicher:</strong> I preached on Good Friday that J's timacy wh John suggted he was gay as I felt eply had to be addrsed</p> * god was gay *
I felt I uld not pe the sufferg of gay and lbian people at the hands of the church, over many that divisive issue a subject for Good Friday? The evince, on the other hand, that he may have been what we today ll gay is very strong. But even gay rights mpaigners the church have been reluctant to suggt .
He dared to suggt that possibily and was met wh disda, as though he were simply out to much reflectn and wh certaly no wish to shock, I felt I was left wh no optn but to suggt, for the first time half a century of my Anglin prithood, that J may well have been homosexual. Heterosexual, bisexual, homosexual: J uld have been any of the. The homosexual optn simply seems the most likely.
Although there is no rabbic tradn of celibacy, J uld well have chosen to rea om sexual activy, whether he was gay or not.
7 REASONS J WAS GAY
When I started wrg my new book, God and the Gay Christian, I was well aware that Christians who oppose same-sex marriage the church have long ed the Bible to fend their pot of view. As a gay Christian om an evangelil church Kansas, that stat quo has had a damagg impact on my life, which is one reason I'm settg out to change the flty perspective. Here are 10 reasons why God accepts gay Christians. * god was gay *
I saw as an act of penence for the sufferg and persecutn of homosexual people that still persists many parts of the church.
Whether J was gay or straight no way affects who he was and what he means for the world today. What matters this ntext is that there are many gay and lbian followers of J – ordaed and lay – who, spe the church, remarkably and humbly rema s fahful members. Pope Francis was recently asked about his views on homosexualy.
Persons wh homosexual tennci are children of God. Crimalisg people wh homosexual tennci is an jtice.
10 REASONS GOD LOV GAY CHRISTIANS
* god was gay *
This isn’t the first time Pope Francis has shown himself to be a progrsive lear when to, among other thgs, gay Catholics. As a biblil scholar, I would suggt that church lears who e their cultur and theology to exclu homosexuals don’t read Scripture refully. Those who would exclu homosexuals om God’s kgdom choose to ignore J, turng stead to the Old Ttament – most particularly to Genis 19, the stctn of the ci of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Their terpretatn of the story is that is about homosexualy.
Levic 18:22 and 20:13, for example, are not about “homosexualy” as we now unrstand – as the rg, lovg and sexual relatnship between people of the same sex. Christians – no matter which church they belong to – should follow Pl and extend to the heterosexual-homosexual distctn. That’s right, the man who died for your ss may very well have been a homosexual.
WAS J GAY?
NO -- of urse, nobody actually knows how God feels about most thgs. We jt make gus based on The Bible, or what other relig lears have said. But there's actually not much about homosexualy The Bible. God apparently pays a great al more attentn to treatg people -- even strangers -- fairly and and more relig lears are sayg that homosexualy is a normal part of human sexualy, and sce we were created by God, God mt have created some of as gay, lbian, etc. If your particular fah owns on homosexual behavr, remember that there's a difference between what a person do, and what a person Word of God, the Bible, is que clear begng Genis, that a man is to be wh a woman - or rema sgle and not engagg any sexual activy. The Scripture tells for the most part, exactly how God thks and feels via His Law and the multiple stori of Israel fallg down and gettg punished.Regardls of what other humans may thk or say, is God who is supreme and only He will judge all mankd. His will not ours. His Law and not ours. The creature don't tell the Creator what is right and wrong. * god was gay *
This is somethg that gay men are notor for.
The term “homosexual” didn’t exist until 1892. Some morn Bible translatns say that “homosexuals” will not her the kgdom of God, but neher the ncept nor the word for people wh exclive same-sex attractn existed before the late 19th century. While the Bible rejects ltful same-sex behavr, that’s very different om a nmnatn of all gay people and relatnships.
IS GOD BLACK AND GAY
Requirg that all gay people rema celibate is at odds wh the Bible’s teachgs on celibacy, which are ground Scripture’s re affirmatn that God’s physil creatn is good. Mastream nomatns like Prbyterians and Epispalians now orda openly gay clergy, and there are seeds of change evangelil church as well.

Matthew V is the thor of God and the Gay Christian and is the founr of The Reformatn Project, a Bible-based non-prof anizatn that seeks to reform church teachg on sexual orientatn and genr inty. After the Supreme Court's historic lg on gay marriage, seemed like all the proudly homophobic Christians me out of the woodwork to talk about how much they still hate gay people. As a straight Jew, the homophobia amongst J's followers has always stck me as a b of a surprise: Worshippg at the feet of a ripped, hung man, seems at least a ltle homoerotic.
