Yeh. He was bumming St Peter, well known fact that. As factual as any of that claptrap anyway.

So Jesus would 100% have loved and accepted gay people. As for his views on same-sex relations or any other matter he doesn't speak on, insinuating what he would or would not have done is grounds for very dodgy theologyOriginally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

We will never know, but Christianity as a religion claim it is a sin and it mentions it many times in the New Testament. Most real Christians believe this also and think homosexuals can be "healed". Like all other religions it is utter nonsense based on the writings of iron age idiots.Comment

When the mob wanted to stone the woman for adultery Jesus said 'Let he who is without sin cast the first the stone'. I like to think his view on Homosexuality would be similar, in that he would not condemn them and would not want us to condemn them, but rather we should all love one another as we love ourselves. Jesus was all about universal love, it was the later church run by men that got all high and mighty.Comment

Where does the new testament mention homosexuality as a sin?
“ For this reason [idolatry] God gave them up to passions of dishonor; for even their females exchanged the natural use for that which is contrary to nature, and likewise also the males, having left the natural use of the female, were inflamed by their lust for one another, males with males, committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was fitting for their error.
