I believe it is quite possible Jesus Christ was a homosexual

I mean, he shared a close relationship with one of his disciples, and as far as I know of, he never had a relationship with a woman.

I'm still not sure I see the connection between having a close relationship with one of the disciples and being homosexual.

I have a very close relationship with one of my buddies, hugs and I love you's and all that stuff. Maybe it looks gay, but it isn't. While I'll admit that no one can say for sure, I find it to be an unlikely proposition that Jesus was homosexual, and if he was I think that it would be contradictory to the scriptures teachings.

I suppose that is all just my opinion tho.

Are you male or female?

Look at the icon, he's male.

You don't have to be gay to have a close relationship with another man. Jesus had no romance or sexual behavior with John, and that is precisely what the Bible condemns. Jesus could not be holy, His entire mission on earth would have failed if he had sinned once. God spelled it out very clearly in the Law that homosexuality was sinful. Jesus was perfect, therefore He was not gay.

I don't know if you are gay or not, but if you are looking for closeness with and approval from other men, you don't have to go through romance and sex to get it. That is a false illusion, a bad copy of the love you are trying to recieve. Respect from other men that know you inside out is what you need, free of sexuality. There is a reason homosexual relationships do not satisfy in the long run, and why those relationships fail so much. They are false illusions of what you really need. They are also very destructive.

Jesus died in your place - He's taken worse sinners than you and made very Godly men out of them. He makes no exceptions for homosexuality. He's willing to forgive all who will confess it as sin and renounce it as such.
