cold: The sexuality of Jesus Christ is queried.

 Was Jesus queer? We don't know. But it is a possibility that cannot be ruled out. One version of St. Mark's gospel - which is still the subject of academic dispute - alludes to Jesus having a homosexual relationship with a youth he raised from the dead.According to the US Biblical scholar, Morton Smith, of Columbia University, a fragment of manuscript he found at the Mar Saba monastery near Jerusalem in 1958, showed that the full text of St. Mark chapter 10 (between verses 34 and 35 in the standard version of the Bible) includes the passage:"And the youth, looking upon him (Jesus), loved him and beseeched that he might remain with him. And going out of the tomb, they went into the house of the youth, for he was rich. And after six days, Jesus instructed him and, at evening, the youth came to him wearing a linen cloth over his nak3d body. And he remained with him that night, for Jesus taught him the mystery of the Kingdom of God" .The veracity of this manuscript is hotly contested by other Biblical scholars. This comes as no surprise. The revelation of a gay Jesus would undermine some of the most fundamental tenets of orthodox Christianity, including its rampant homophobia.But even if the text is genuine, does this ambiguous, elliptical passage offer evidence of Jesus's homosexuality? It is hard to say. The precise nature of the relationship between Christ and the youth is not spelled out. Sexual relations are suggested but not explicitly stated.The Morton Smith document is, in fact, irrelevant to the vexed issue of Christ's sexual orientation. What we can say for certain is that the standard, accepted Biblical narrative gives us no information at all about Jesus's sexuality.This absence of firm information does not, of course, mean that we can take it for granted that Christ was heterosexual. Far from it! The lack of information about his erotic inclinations begs more questions than it answers.The truth is that we simply don't know whether Jesus was straight, gay, bisexual or celibate. There is certainly no evidence for the Church's unspoken presumption that he was either heterosexual or devoid of carnal desires. Since nothing in the Bible points to Christ having erotic feelings for women, or relationships with the female sex, the possibility of him being gay cannot be discounted.In the absence of any evidence - [b]let alone proof - that Jesus was heterosexual, the theological basis of Church homophobia is all the more shaky and indefensible. How can established religion dare denounce homosexuality when the founder of its faith was himself a man of mysterious, unknown sexuality who could, for all we know, have been homosexual?The Bible tells us that Jesus was born a man and therefore presumably had male sexual feelings. It would have been more or less impossible, biologically, for him not to have an element of erotic arousal - even if only having the normal male response of waking with an er3ction [/b]

Wooow! It baffles me when a Nigerian writes like this. The main reason for the mass failure is because the universities don't have the right capacity to absorb students, so JAMB intentionally failed students.

ceaz4r: Why should you ladies even mess up so much that we men can't handle your so called 'truth' ?

tonididdy: Heatwave gini?...not here in benincity.its just a normal weather like everyother year.its always being sunny and hot;you and your scientists are just seeing and assuming things...

adaobi123: mariah carey - we belong together
jennifer hudson - if this isnt love
timothy bloom - till the end of time

lacidi: Some of these people think that Nigeria is made up of fools. The rights being referred to here are the right to 'freedom to private family life' and 'freedom from discrimination'. I will take them one after the other:

1. Private Family Life - The right to private family life presupposes that you are LEGALLY living a family life. It does not mean that you can commit Bigamy and then claim that you have a right to family life. You also cannot marry a 10 year old and claim you have a right to family life. The definition of what amounts to 'family life' has to be derived from other laws of the country and case laws because the constitution does not define 'family life'.

So to define family life, we have to look at laws relating to marriage, child custody and divorce etc. Does the constitution define these laws? These laws are captured in the marriage act etc. So you do not need to amend the constitution, all you need to amend is the laws that define marriage and family.

The definition of family in one region differs from another region. For e.g. a Muslim in the north can marry 4 wives legally, but a Christian who marries under the marriage act cannot legally marry another wife while the 1st marriage is subsisting. Can he then sue to claim that his right to 'Private family life' has been breached if he is stopped from marrying additional wives?

2. Freedom from Discrimination - first of all we have to ask what discrimination is. The constitution mentions 'Discrimination on the basis of sex' and NOT on the basis of sex.ual preference. So the discrimination covered under the constitution is the one that deals with your natural sex i.e. man or woman. So if you are being discriminated against because you are a man or because you are a woman, then you have a right to sue under the constitution. The constitution does not cover discrimination due to SEX.UAL PREFERENCE.

E.g. when someone is arrested and jailed in the US for Incest, is he being discriminated against? Note that the Incest in question is between two adults - father & daughter, mother & son, son & daughter. Also when someone is arrested and jailed in US and Europe for Polygamy, is he being discriminated against? Note that Polygamy is between an adult man and 2 of more adult consenting females. Sex with animals is legal in Germany, but a crime in most other countries. So people that practice sex with animals in these other countries, can they sue for discrimination?

What of pedophiles who it has been scientifically established that they cannot control their desire to have sex with infants. These people are acting outside their control. So why are they being jailed? Is this discrimination?

So using the constitutional provision on discrimination as grounds is total rubbish.

I rest my case.
