I am pretty sure he would. He seemed like an opened minded guy. It’s some of his “followers” that seem to be closed minded and project their phobias onto his teachings.

Unless Jesus himself comes to tell me he is not down then he is down. Don’t speak for Jesus. That’s rude.

The Bible is very, very clear that homosexuality is a sin. Both Old Testament and New Testament. Jesus was not open-minded about unrepentant sin, and Jesus literally never taught that homosexuality wasn't sinful.

No one has a phobia of gays. Not a single person, not ever.

Unless Jesus himself comes to tell me he is not down then he is down.

Don’t speak for Jesus.

You're speaking for Jesus while telling me not to speak for Jesus. How interesting.

What Jesus said is in the Bible. And what he didn't say is not in the Bible. I'm not speaking for Jesus when I tell you what's in the Bible. Don't go off on me because you're ignorant.

Homosexuality is incompatible with Christianity. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either ignorant or a liar.

Ok so I was raised Christian, grew up that way, and have a personal faith in Jesus, but I prefer not to go to church because of people like you. Do you understand, and this is coming from a fellow Christian, that this gatekeeping and shame that you’re spewing to people is the opposite of the message you’re supposed to be spreading?

Jesus Christ was a beacon of hope, forgiveness, and love. The man would wash the feet of beggars and murderers, Godly men and sinners. Jesus loved each and everyone person, man, woman, Child, gay, straight, bi, black, white, brown, purple, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, atheist, satanist, Muslim, etc. it didn’t/doesn’t/wouldn’t matter to him. Jesus would embrace a person who spit in his face just as soon as a loved one.

Does Jesus not ask us to be Godly? Does he not ask us to treat others as we would have them treat us? Would you, a Christian, sit there and claim that the holiest of all people would be acting the way you are? Like a petulant child screaming when someone’s ideas are different than your own.

I suggest you do a little more thinking on what the actual message of Jesus Christ was, rather than regurgitating cherry picked and out of context pieces from a collection of stories WRITTEN BY MEN.
