I can see why people like Jesus

Can you also see why people like Muhammad?

Jesus in Matthew 19:17-18 definitely stands by the Commandments (though it's a matter of debate whether 'Thou shalt not kill' applies to foetuses). But I don't know if he would necessarily agree with any ancient Hebrew views on sin outside of the Commandments. He doesn't consider picking grain on the Sabbath sinful for instance so I wouldn't take it as a given that he would be against homosexuality.

How do you know? Where you there? Perhaps he just didn't have a view.

I have heard something along these lines before, when I asked of a believer why Jesus, who supposedly cured leprosy a few times during his career, did not just cure the whole world of this terrible affliction, thus doing the maximum amount of good while he was about it (being, er, one third of God JC must have known how many cases there were and likely to be, and have had the power.) Apparently it was because he "wasn't asked" - as if someone, especially someone of Jesus's nature, would need to be prompted to do most good!

JC it may also be noted never married and had 12 close male friends out of preference .Bart Ehrman, a scholar of the Greek New Testament and early Christianity, concludes that historical evidence says nothing at all about Jesus' sexuality—"certainly nothing to indicate that Jesus and Mary had a sexual relationship of any kind". The Gospel of John however makes references to the "disciple whom Jesus loved" some have implied a homosocial or homoerotic reading of the relationship. Then there is the mysterious instance of the half dressed youth following him at one point who when challenged, then fled naked...(Mark 14:51–52) It might explain Jesus' reticence on the subject.

 St. John the Baptist did. Read St. Luke chapter 1, verses 41 - 44.

Indeed; although one can make an argument that the circumstantial evidence for his love of men over women, though passing, is tipped more one way than another.



The writer and theologian Robert Gagnon has argued that the Greek word translated as "loved" is agape (used, for example, in John 3:16: "for God so loved the world"), rather than the Greek word referring to sexual love, eros. On the other hand, Theodore W. Jennings Jr. notes that "eros does not occur either in the New Testament or in the Septuagint" and that these use agape to refer to "the love of a husband for his wife or even to the illicit loves of inordinate desire", including throughout the Song of Solomon

 No they're still around. I saw them in Europe 7 years ago, prancing through the streets.

My understanding is that refers to political alliances between groups rather than personal friendships.
