"What's Jesus' View on Homosexuality?"
Sooooooo0o0o00o0o00oo... I finally did it. Me and this friend I was with (she's bi) were in the subways, and there was a guy handing out Jesus pamphlets, we walked up to him arm in arm and asked what Jesus' views on homosexuality were. Mehehehe.... I can't tell you how long I've wanted to do that. I mean, his answer wasn't all that heartening, but he was nice about telling us that it was sinful. He actually seemed like a decent guy, other than the....... homophobia. But I've wanted to do that forever. Hah.

Jesus was Jewish. Jews are
Jesus was Jewish.
Jews are mostly tolerant of Homosexuality.
Hence, Jesus loves us all. =P
Whatever I did, I didn't do it.
not all jews
There are some parts in the torah/bible/old testimit whatever you want to call it that are homophobic. I think the part that's read on yom kippur is interpreted as something along the lines of male on male sex is bad. It's debated but some jews do use their religion to justify homophobia. What I don't get is how religion at all can be used to justify homophobia, it seems kinda contradictory that jesus loves me (or so the bumperstickers say, I wouldn't know, I'm jewish) but wants me to burn in hell for being gay. Maybe I've misinterpreted it but I'm still confused.

ur right
in the torah it says that "if a man lays with another man the way he would lay with a woman" (meaning if 2 dudes fuck), it's a sin and they will be punished. it doesn't say anything about girl-on-girl action cuz at the time when the bible was written ppl didn't know or care that women have sex drives and could possibly want to touch eachother in that way.
i have many issues with judaism. the one day of the year that i go to synagogue is on Yom Kippur (the highest holy day where u ask god to forgive u for ur sins), i only go cuz my grandpa takes me and i try to show respect to him. but i just sit there and look around the room thinking "which of these chicks would i do..."
and that's why i'm going to burn in hell. jesus hates me, but whatever... as far as i'm concerned, jesus was just another jewish boy who went into his father's business. ;-)
grrrah!!!
Jesus never said anything about homosexuality. Or, if he did, it was obvious that he said we should accept, otherwise it would be in the Bible, don't you think?
Ride hard or stay home.
Do they react that way because of who we are or because of your personality?

Funny how NOWHERE in the
Funny how NOWHERE in the bible does Jesus himself say homosexuality is wrong. Who says it? PAUL. Paul who didn't know Jesus, who grabbed on the tails of it later, honestly. Or Leviticus, a health manual for Jews that is pretty much defunct now. Oh fundies, how is it that you pick your beliefs? Why aren't you campaigning against pearls?
The bible says homosexuality
The bible says homosexuality is wrong, not Jesus. And the bible was written several decades after Jesus' life. A lot of information about what the guy actually thought can be lost in that time.

Eh....
I would NEVER lay down with a man like I would with a woman. I'd enjoy it with the man.

I agree with what he says
I agree with what he says (other than the fact that I'm atheist), but I don't like the way he uses the word wrong. that's an opinion. he should use facts like those thoughts were discredited, not wrong.
