Seminary Professor Claims Jesus Was Gay
Tuesday, May 27, 2003, 7:17 a.m.
(Undated-AP) -- A Methodist professor at the United Church of Christ's Chicago Theological Seminary says the Bible suggests that Jesus was gay.
The Reverend Theodore Jennings Junior makes that case in a book titled "The Man Jesus Loved: Homoerotic Narratives From the New Testament."
Jennings writes that the "the disciple Jesus loved" who's mentioned in the Gospel of John was the Lord's gay boyfriend. He also claims the centurion's servant who was healed by Jesus was the centurion's gay boyfriend and that Jesus didn't denounce their relationship.
The book fits the United Church's policy of "extravagant welcome" toward gays and the pride it takes in ordaining gay ministers. Jennings, though, is a United Methodist, whose church officially opposes same-sex activity. (Copyright 2003 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)

This was just John's way of writing. Disgusting analogy.

The professor wants to push the envelop to sell his book, without much that is verifiable to back it up. The chap is into the sin of amoral materialism. At least according to my home spun morality.

We can try spinning the scriptures, but only at our own risk. Sorry, but the Bible is clear on the homosexual issue, and I'll take God's word over any man's.

I have a few friends who are bachelors into their 30's, and every last one of them is straight.

My husband was raised a Methodist. I just read this to him and he said he is so glad he got out of the Methodist Church. I don't think they all are like this however, in fact I am sure of it.
Hillary Clinton got her first dose of Socialism from a Methodist minister however, many years ago.

"Extravagant welcome?"
Yes, I hear they bend over forwards to make them feel welcome.
