>DR> Jesus was homosexual. See: JOH 13:23 JOH 19:26 JOH 20:2

KY> So, saying that you love someone, has to be sexual?

No. The word in the Greek manuscript ("gamopetalous")
states the love was a sexual union. Early Christian texts
had no contention with Jesus being homosexual, since Jesus,
if he lived at all, was Hellenized.

KY> There are other things besides sex. But I suppose someone

The Johnnine appendage and the Marcian appendage (no
homosexual puns intended) assert Jesus had a young male
lover.

   "Chapter 21 of John, the final chapter, is known to New
   Testament scholars as "the epilogue of John." They agree
   that this chapter was NOT part of the original manuscript,
   but was added later, very likely by a different author. As
   such, it was written TO SOLVE ONE OR MORE PROBLEMS: one
   being to bring John into accordance with Matthew's
   sightings of a risen Jesus in Galilee, but more
   significantly, in all probability, to quash the brewing
   scandal over "the disciple whom Jesus loved." The late
   Morton Smith, a scholar of ancient history, wrote that "it
   has often been argued from Johannine evidence that the
   unnamed 'Beloved Disciple' was Lazarus. In the "Epistle of
   Clement of Alexandria" that Smith discovered in an ancient
   monastery in 1958, there is reference to EXACTLY such
   allegations being made at the time (Jesus having a male
   lover), which Clement of course denies. But in this same
   letter, Clement affirms the existence of a "Secret Gospel
   of Mark", i.e. portions of the gospel of Mark that had
   been "censored out" from the text in general circulation
   because church leaders felt they would be damaging to the
   new faith. One "censored" passage has Jesus raising
   Lazarus in Mark (a story otherwise only in John); however,
   it has the two of them spending the night together in
   circumstances suggesting that their "love" was more
   Socratic than Platonic. "Lazarus in Mark as Jesus' lover"
   also helps explain the curious snippet of "the youth who
   fled naked in the garden" (Mark 14:51-52), a passage
   unaccountably deleted by both later Synoptic gospels, one
   of the very few that were."

There is much more about this in the book, "The Making of
the Messiah" (Prometheus Books, Buffalo, NY).

What do you care if Jesus was or was not homosexual? How
could it poosibly matter, since he's been dead (if he
lived at all) for +-1960 years?

KY> If a person loves their animals, does that mean they
KY> want to try beastiality?

There is lore about now many early of the early Christians
resorted to copulating with beats instead of women because
women were / are considered "evil." This is in line with
the Hebrew Adamic tradition.
