The first openly gay Anglican bishop has sparked outrage for suggesting that Jesus might have been homosexual.
The Rt Rev Gene Robinson, the Bishop of New Hampshire in the Episcopal Church of the United States, said that Jesus was an unmarried, "non-traditional man" who did not uphold family values, "travelled with a bunch of men" and enjoyed an especially close relationship with one of his disciples.

The Bishop is a fool.
So, basically, what he's saying is he doesn't know anything about Jesus.
Another article about it here, with lots of commentary:
Rev. Gene Robinson: Jesus 'might be 'gay''

This nutjob isn't a Christian...why did they make him a bishop? He does not qualify according to the bible description "husband of one wife" and he clearly has no spiritual insight beyond his sexual perversion.
He probably knows a lot about Jesus, but doesn't like the truth. He's attempting to pervert Jesus to justify his own perversion.
Ordain an openly gay bishop, what do you expect? They are reaping what they have sown...
Well, there is the big reward they get for making the gay guy a Bishop in their church. Being they are gay, Christ was probably gay....
This is NOT Christianity, it is humanism. In this case a gay man brings God down to their own level by filtering God through their eyes until God is acceptable.
Only problem with that is when they do that, they are worshiping a false-god of their own making. They are idol worshiping.
The next thing you know he'll be telling us that Jesus wrote for the New York Times!
And to think some of us had the idea that allowing gay clergy would rot the church from inside.
Exactly!
Jesus said: "And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore, they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." -from THE BIBLE: Matthew 19:4-6
Well .. I've been waiting for this attack. We've seen several days of the lifting up of the name of Jesus - the devil had to send somebody to try to take it down.
Like the devil can do anything - HE's PARALYZED!!!!
Good grief!
"Jesus might have been homosexual, says the first openly gay bishop"
Cindy's Note: The bishop needs to open the Bible, read it, and pray for forgiveness to JESUS.

From THE BIBLE: Romans 1:16-22
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

Very appropriate verses, thank you.
Better if such people were just regular sinners on the street going to bath houses and taking drugs than dressed falsely in religious garb, pretending to represent Jesus Christ and duplicitously teach the Bible.
A wolf in sheeps' clothing is much more dangerous and offensive than a regular wolf.
