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 naked 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 - 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 n[b]ot to have an element of erotic arousal - even if only having the normal male response

With all the furore over Saraki's corruption allegations,i honestly don't see how Buhari would even send a ministerial list to the senate now. We might as well have to wait till mid 2016.

Fayose might have his shortcomings,we all do. But disloyalty is not one of them. He is a 'sink or swim' friend who would break his back for you. Now that is a rare quality lacking in today's generation.

Splendid

Save your dead Jew stories for your kids and stop making a fool of yourself

Gejpresident:
Useless ancestors

This seun ur days are numbered since u don't recognize Jesus Christ as God

I'm a man of God.

We're discussing a very serious issue here and you're yapping about a dead Jew. Sit the fvck down!

Be honest & tell it as it is,rather than die in silence. But be nice about it. No need to be rude.

Interesting outfit

It's called showbiz

After a few swigs of Jack Daniels,anything is possible. I can relate.

Ghen..ghen

Self realization you say? Cold,I don't think I will stop believing that their is God. Thou,too many things about Religion,not just Christianity,that are confusing.

It's ok dear. It's a gradual process. At least you're honest enough to admit that there are too many things about religion that are confusing. Unlike so many others who remain adamant and refuse to see the wood for the trees.

johnydon22:
First there is no evidence of such a being nothing what so ever simply a postulation based on "Faith" for basis which surely is a ludicrous form of deduction.

2nd you believe in an unproven being, being uncreated then assert that the universe (which is proven to exist ) must require a creator?

When you employ the principle of causation as regard existentially it works like a double edged sword.

You assert nothing Can exist without a creator therefore the universe must have a creator, for this to hold sway (nothing can exist without a creator) that creator must also have a creator and this employs chain of infinite regress...

If you assert something can exist without a creator then the universe simply can be said to exist without a creator, so you see. . Either way it doesn't work.

And the best part is; The universe is actually a known existential entity but a deity is not (still an unproven claim)

It's called 'special pleading bro. Desperately trying to make exemptions for their god. How can anybody hold tenaciously to the belief that everything must have a creator and almost immediately back pedal when you insist their god needs a creator too. It would have been ludicrous if it wasn't so preposterous. How do these folks say these things with a straight face? How do they sleep at night?

peppyluv02:
Cold! Bia ebea...

Haha..just seeing this now. Funny image though,but that's the cold,bitter truth. The biblical description of the Christian god is deplorable to say the least. Peppyluv02,you're on the path to self realisation. When you can no longer reconcile your sense of reasoning with your faith and all the indoctrination you've been fed with since childhood,the truth that religion is nothing but a con begins to set in.

You not a beleiver in the supernatural. So you no go understand.

Can you please answer the question? Or you can be honest and say you don't know.

Oh oh

Point: When Adam sinned, because he was the god of this world and all things were subjected to him, all of creation (animals inclusive) also fell.

Why do mosquito bites cause malaria? Is it because Adam sinned too?

Idrismusty97:
Seems like God forgot to save him this time around? If he didn't forget then he let the terrorist kill him. If he let the terrorist kill the man while being omnipotent, Omniscience and all knowing that means God himself killed this man. RIP

You would think god would at least have the decency to rescue his own to send a strong message across the globe that there is indeed a god out there. But no,he just sat his fat ass on his throne getting the Most High whilst Goto's head was savagely severed and the video broadcast around the world. Far be it from me to find joy in such savagery but how does this prove there is a god out there? Or if this a contest between two rival gods are we inclined to agree that the Islamic god is the superior of the two? Hmmm..

Sad..really sad. Naija is so screwed up,it's not even funny. Anywhere you turn or find yourself,whether in a Christian dominated area or a Muslim dominated region,the story remains the same. Greed,dishonesty,avarice,cheats,crooked folks everywhere you look. Looking for an upright geezer in that cesspit is like looking for a needle in a haystack.Makes one wonder what's all this noise about god and stuff?
