I don't think Jesus was gay,but he never said anything in the Bible that proved he he was against it.

It doesn't say anything about he personally being against it in any of the canon gospels, although I think the gospels might say he was against sex outside marriage.

It is my belief that it is not entirely certain wether Jesus was married to Marry Magdalene or he chose celibacy, and the idea that he might have been a member of the Essenes.

Also the Bible and apparently History doesn't say Jesus' sexual orientation, most people assume that he was heterosexual by default, even though there is no actual evidence of his sexuality, although it would have been repressed due to that time and culture, or he would have marry another men or engage in sexual activities with other men if he could, nobody knows for sure, no evidence of that, and afirming that would be mere speculation. That I think.

Has it ever occured to you that he might've been asexual?

And besides just because a man never had sex with a woman doesn't mean you're gay. That comment is HIGHLY stereotypical.

From what I've read, there is a period in Jesus' life between ages 12 and 30 that we know very little about. Presumably, he would have followed Joseph into the carpentry trade for one thing. It is indeed possible he might have married but there isn't enough information available to most of us to know for sure.

Let me rephrase that: He is, he never WANTED any p**** so he must be.

If you consider the concept of the holy trinity: that there is one God that exists in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost,

if Jesus and God are one and the same, and God impregnated Jesus' mother, then Jesus also impregnated his mother with himself.

That would make Jesus and God to be Heterosexual.

And Jesus to be, well, a motherf***er.

I'd rather guess that he was laying the initial political
foundations, given his family, and setting up for his
attempt at taking over the religion.

Ah, no reason to bring neo-platonic thought into this.
Seems Jesus wasn't too aware of that crap, after all.

Pretty stuff, and more believable than the rest of the
Christian mythology (then again - I like 3), but irrelevant
to Jesus himself.
