RETHINKING THE GAY CENTURION: SEXUAL EXCEPTIONALISM, NATIONAL EXCEPTIONALISM IN READINGS OF MATTHEW 8:5-13//LUKE 7:1-10. Operative terpretatns both favourg and opposg a homosexual subtext is the assumptn that J’ Judaism was somehow unique wh rpect to sexual mor. For opponents of the LGBT terpretatn, this exceptnalism manifts a homogeneo Judaism that was exempt om the practice of same-sex terurse; that J’ Jewishns is not doubt, nor should his disda for male-male terurse be qutned.
I exame the readgs through the optic of Jasbir Puar’s work on homonormative natnalism (i. E., “homonatnalism”) and nclu that the logic of the readgs is separable om the mands of neoliberal imperialism. The gay centurn is found Matthew 8:5 and Le 7:2.
There are sound reasons to believe this centurn was a gay man. 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? It is a mon misnceptn that the Apostle Pl spoke out agast homosexualy.
WAS THE CENTURN REALLY GAY AND IF SO, WHY DID 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? 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.
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. I will nsir one of the stori, and how teracts wh Christian teachgs about homosexualy.
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.

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.
DID THE CENTURN AND HIS SERVANT HAVE A GAY 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.
Far om nmng homosexualy, J might be endorsg . Rethkg the Gay Centurn: Sexual Exceptnalism, Natnal Exceptnalism Readgs of Matt. 8:5-13//Le 7:1-10Rethkg the Gay Centurn: Sexual Exceptnalism, Natnal Exceptnalism Readgs of Matt.
GAY CENTURN (CY OF TSHWANE METROPOLAN MUNICIPALY, GTENG)
Refutg the “gay centurn” theory. However, there are some problems wh the “gay centurn” theory.
And Jews at the time had a particular revulsn for homosexualy (as n be outled the works of Philo of Alexandria and Joseph). So, a centurn who had a good relatnship wh the Jews probably wouldn’t have been as open about his gayns to them, pecially when nontg the Jewish msiah. Here are some more stanc where “pais” is ed a non-homosexual ntext:.
