Not in my Bible

Matthew
Chapter 8

5

⁴ When he entered Capernaum, ⁵ a centurion approached him and appealed to him,

6

saying, "Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, suffering dreadfully."

7

He said to him, "I will come and cure him."

8

The centurion said in reply, ⁶ "Lord, I am not worthy to have you enter under my roof; only say the word and my servant will be healed.

9

For I too am a person subject to authority, with soldiers subject to me. And I say to one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come here,' and he comes; and to my slave, 'Do this,' and he does it."

10

When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, "Amen, I say to you, in no one in Israel ⁷ have I found such faith.

11

I say to you, ⁸ many will come from the east and the west, and will recline with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob at the banquet in the kingdom of heaven,

12

but the children of the kingdom will be driven out into the outer darkness, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth."

13

And Jesus said to the centurion, "You may go; as you have believed, let it be done for you." And at that very hour (his) servant was healed.

And at that very hour (his) servant was healed.

Two versions of the interaction with the centurion have been posted. One refers to the ill one as his servant and the other refers to the ill one as his son. The billboard does not claim that Jesus was gay, so it must mean that the centurion and the ill person were a gay couple. So the billboard is saying that the centurion was having homosexual relations with his son (i.e. he is a child molester) or with his slave (probably non-consensual). Neither makes gay couples look real good. They probably need to rethink their PR on this one.

Okay, I’ve read the passage y’all posted - three times now - and I cannot for the life of me figure out how it applies.
