Current Events > Netflix show portraying Jesus as gay?

(+) Yeah! (+)

There would still be backlash if other religious figures were given this treatment, so I don't know why they thought it was a good idea.

A lot of ppl are going nuts over this one.

That's not really surprising, if they depict Jesus being sinful.

It's a comedy, that's why these clickbait things aren't making clear. If it was a serious historical drama then yeah it would be a problem. As a parody in some sketch comedy show, eh it's whatever.

There are some apocryphal Gospels where Jesus spent a night alone with an unnamed Apostle so that "he may get to know him better." Some versions say it was Mary from Magdala, but most versions say the unnamed Apostle was a guy.

for as much shit people give Mormons, at least they ended up being cool and promote The Book of Mormon musical

Whoever green light this should lose their job. Absolutely disgusting. I have no problem with controversy but there are some areas that you do not tread and this is one of them.

What did Jesus himself ever say about homosexuality?

Mark 10
6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

He did not speak on homosexuality specifically.

Instead we find Jesus with authority as the son of God says marriage exists because God made them male and female and the male and female should join to become as one flesh.

We don't know that he wasn't

Whatever the case, Jesus was not married so he died a virgin.

He preached against fornication (sex outside of marriage) and was supposed to be sinless.

So, whatever you think of him, one thing you cannot dispute without going against the narrative is that he was a virgin.

We should portray mohammad as gay next

There are old gospel scrolls that mentions his wife.
There is a fact that the current religious leaders chose what texts to include in the Bible based on their views, which includeds making women less worthy than men.
Mary Magdalene was there but the Bible doesnt accept her as an apostle because she is a woman.
The gnostic Gospel of Philip makes her more important.

They didn't disclude based on views but that these were written as fanfiction nearly 300-500 years later, etc.

The Gospel of Philip was written between 150 AD and 350 AD, while Philip himself lived in the first century, making it extremely unlikely to be his writing. Most scholars hold a 3rd-century date of composition.[6]

And they did a good job discluding it since none of the other gospels or letters mention Jesus marrying a human woman.

It would be idiotic to think this one questionable book was correct and all the others wrong.
Fyi, the bible does speak of Jesus' wife, the church, at the end of time.

Btw, this is a false statement.

The women are shown as having more faith than the apostles in the new testament.

Did you forget the story of the alabaster box and who saw Jesus first when he ressurrected?

Did you forget who actually was there when he was crucified?

Or maybe you have a narrative to try to uphold.

And we know that there are tons of lost texts, even the Bible makes references to some.
And we dont know how many of those that talked about Jesus wife.

And yet they were not worthy to be called an Apostel.

Oh, the scandal.

I'm pretty sure Jesus is public domain by now.

as a straight male Christian, I think its blasphemous to suggest Im not sexually attracted to Jesus.

He picked who he picked. He never said what makes one worthy.
Infact Judas was likely unworthy and still picked.

Nevertheless, he sent the apostles out in twos to travel around the country preaching.
This isn't something safe for a woman to have done in those times.

That and a huge part of his doctrine being to not seek the favour of humans, and high positions.

Also, tbh, the apostles in twos preaching wasn't even very safe for the men. Paul got stoned and almost died.

But the women would have likely been raped.

So we should tag the homophobes in this topic appropriately, huh.

Jesus knew that Judas was the only one that got the guts to follow his masterplan so God could forgive our sins.

And that is my point. Why he picked each apostle was something not divulged in scripture.
It certaintly wasn't faith since Jesus said the centurion had greater faith than anyone he found in all of Isreal.

But a centurion was a gentile and could not fit the purpose of attempting to convert the Jews first

You changed from Muslim to Christian? I dont think apostasy is even allowed in Islam.
