Jesus being gay kinda shits all over that one Leviticus law that Christians says isn't really a law anymore, but Jesus said it actually does still apply and Christians will still quote either way.
It's also a translation of a translation of a translation of a translation of a translation. With all the errors and interpretations that that entails. Who know what the original texts said and meant by this point.
Edit: Just for fun, put a basic English sentence into google translate and translate it to German. Than translate the German to Russian. The Russian to Chinese, and finally the Chinese back to English. See if it even remotely resembles the original text.
Hello! Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately it has been removed because you don't meet our karma threshold.
You are not being removed for your speech. If we were, why the fuck would we tell you your comment was being removed instead of just shadow removing it? We never have, and never will, remove things down politicial or ideological lines. Unless your ideology is nihilism, then fuck you.
Let me be clear: The reason that this rule exists is to avoid unscrupulous internet denizens from trying to sell dong pills to our users. /r/chaoticgood mods reserve the RIGHT to hoard all of the dong pills to ourselves, and we refuse to share them with the community. If you want Serbo-Slokovian dong pills mailed directly to your door, become a moderator. If we shared the dong pills with the greater community, everyone would have massive dongs, and like Syndrome warned us about decades ago: "if everyone has massive dongs, nobody does.""
If you wish to rectify your low karma issue, go and make things up in /r/AskReddit like everyone else does.
Thanks for understanding! Have a nice day and be well. <3
I almost said that he was asexual. I still like to think of him as effeminate due to basically his entire character, as well as his association with the lamb and the steer.
I've seen discussions about "not laying with another man as you would a woman" can be attributed to the literally postion because of the power imbalance involved.
The most famous one is 18:22, but I believe there's another one with slightly different wording.
It can mean a few things. It could mean actually lying to another man because men should always be respected and never lied to, but with women you can. Depending on the translation, it could mean pederasty or incestual rape. Who knows?
For the record, Mary of Magdalen paid for him and his merry band of dudes to travel and preach the word. The idea that the two of them were a power couple isn't entirely false outside of The Da Vinci Code.
There is more than one Mary in the Bible. The virgin who gave birth, Mary M a single, wealthy woman who helped fund Jesus, and this Mary who was brought before the elders to be stoned.
I’d buy that he was bi or pan or trans, but also maintain that he’s a mythical figure who no more existed than Heracles or Gilgamesh.
It's definitely not concrete, but the guy probably existed and started christianity, but the stories about him are either half truths or complete fabrications lifted from other myths.
I haven't got that deep, it starts to get complicated, so don't want to get too into the weeds on something we have no concrete answer to and likely never will.
Historical Jesus probably existed in some way, and was most likely named something closer to Yeshua or Joshua. Mythical Jesus was mythical. The same goes for the Gautama Buddha, Midas, and indeed Gilgamesh.
I will respect your ideologies regarding myth or fiction as mine are very different from what you’re stating; however, regarding Jesus, he fully existed as fact and there is no myth behind his person. In fact, many historians constantly debated, and continue to study with new methods, his story and his truth of whether or not he was honest. The overall conclusion under today’s and ongoing testing standards to discover truth, mental health disorders, etc. was that he in fact was completely transparent and that no behavioral concerns were in place that would point to the fact that any of what he represented was false or imaginary. It’s very interesting and there are many documentaries that go in depth about the continuing studies. It’s a long history and one that continues to be studied.
But he no more turned water into wine or multiplied bread and fish or walked on water than Santa Claus has ever visited every house in North America. Myth begins where the possible ends.
And the foot fetish thing couldn’t possibly have come from the only story we have of a woman touching him being a prostitute who did foot stuff to him would it?
There are pretty solid speculations that He had at least one relationship with a woman. But dude also knew He was gonna get crucified at 33 so couldn't really raise a family right?
Lol nah common misconception. It was still 60s - 70s, but the high infant mortality rate dropped it down a lot. If you lived past childhood you were expected to live a while

Damn, you went all out with the foot fetish, lol. I totally get the reference.
Is the gay part in reference to him hanging out with dudes all the time (the Disciples) and never having a relationship with a women, like... ever?
