So if being unmarried and hanging around with a gang of guys is an indication that you're gay, every sports club and gang in the world, including all the terrorist organizations are made up of Bathhouse Buddies?

Of course. Silly me. I thought all this time that Jesus was a celibate man who knew his time on Earth was short and he could not devote full time to a wife and family as they deserved, so he elected to focus on his work.

"He's attempting to pervert Jesus to justify his own perversion."

Here we go again! Every so often, we hear about how a famous historical figure was or is gay: Jesus was gay, Shakespeare was gay, Lincoln was gay. Who else? To paraphrase George S. Patton (also gay), played by George C. Scott (gay), "You all admired the champion marble shooter (gay), fastest runner (gay), big league ballplayer (gay), the toughest boxer (flaming)."

Make it easy on yourselves; why not just give us a list of people you think weren't gay.

The Bishop is a fool.

The so-called "search for the historical Jesus" is nothing more than a desire to add self-serving paint to the picture.

There are better ways to find out who Jesus really is.

Why must our society try to define people on terms of their sexual proclivity? This is another low.

Christ was not a sexual creature. Sure He was both fully God and fully Man, but He had one purpose when He came to Earth and that was to die for the sins of those that would follow Him. In order to be an acceptable sacrifice He could have no sin, to state that He had a sexual nature, much less a homosexual nature, is to deny His deity and the efficacy of His sacrifice, and is the height of blasphemy.

What a follower of Satan will say is predictable. This guy, and the church that supports him are not of the light.

Jesus lead a "perfect" (free of sin) life. Sex outside of marriage is a sin. Even lust is a sin. Homosexuality is also expressly considered sinful. Therefore, Jesus could not have been homosexual. Q.E.D.

Bishop Robinson is saying that the culture has moved in his direction and that it's all becoming accepted

Sadly, he's got that right.

I think Reprobate is the term Paul used. Having rejected God the so called bishop Robinson has been given over
to a reprobate mind-to do that which is NOT convienent.
And he will heap unto himself the recompense due his error.

I left the Episcopal church over the ordination of women. I used to mourn for the church, but no longer. The Episcopal church is sliding into full-fledged apostacy, assuming it's not there already.

---"Osama Bin-Laden is/was gay."---

I've never seen him in the company of women. He's always with that susicious looking Egyptian doctor, and just look how he caresses that gun. Whew! What a flamer. :)

And these fools will be fooled by the anti-christ when he finally appears on the world scene, leading the Sheeple away.
Homosexuality and Feminism is purely demonic and satanic.
