LGBTQ, in LC and Beyond.

I'll sit at a roundtable and grapple sincerely with "Is God gay?" and "Was Jesus homosexual" but there has to be a basic level of logic and reason to be able to have a discussion. If claims and statements are made, the logic has to hold up. That's all I'm asking.

The claim has been made earlier in this thread that Jesus could have been a celibate homosexual. As I also mentioned elsewhere, if this is the case, then we also have to look at the implications of that claim and what it means for those with same-sex attractions now. In other words, His example is the one to follow. This is why I didn't understand what there was to gain by throwing Jesus's potential homosexuality around.....because it logically brings us to a place it doesn't seem like you would want to be.

It's also not an assumption that Jesus was heterosexual. It's a reasonable inference. There is a vast difference between the two. For Jesus to be homosexual and yet surround Himself with a group of men makes no sense. That is what someone who was heterosexual and reasonably wanted to remain sinless would do.
