A recent guest lecture at Swarthmore College by a prominent homosexual seminary professor highlighted a growing argument among the so-called queer community that Jesus was bisexual.

In particular, the Rev. Patrick Cheng, a professor at the Episcopal Divinity School in Massachusetts, told the students that Jesus was a subversive person and God’s way of “queering the world,” so to speak.

Cheng said Christ was “always coming out in the gospels” and that “Christ is God coming out.”

“At its heart, Christianity is queer,” Cheng told the students during the Feb. 7 talk. “It’s not just a matter of being tolerant. Christianity is queer at its core.”

A professor at Episcopal Divinity School says essentially that the purpose of Christianity is to promote homosexuality to young people.

[Mouton]

These people have exceeded the let live/don’t let live line.

Has he gone for his millstone fitting, or is he just waiting to take the mark of the beast?

[BigEdLB]

Lots of folks promote what they’d like to see. On the other side, there is the theory that Jesus got together with Mary Magdaline and they had a daughter, Sara. Theories ... There are a million

[Salman]

They are not even trying to be plausible any more.

I suppose plausibility is inherently homophobic? /sarc

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Another prominent theologian to posit this theory includes lesbian Christian author Rev. Kittredge Cherry. She blogged on the Huffington Post last March that “nobody knows for sure whether the historical Jesus was attracted to other men or felt like he was female inside.”

Yeah. I guess nobody knows for sure. Just like nobody knows for sure if Jesus drove a car or rode on a unicorn. This is beyond parody.

Another depraved homosexual speaks from the rot of his mind.

...the theory that Jesus got together with Mary Magdaline...

Got together? As in fornication? As in, Jesus, the Son of God, committed sin? Wow, that's a seriously blasphemous supposition.

Revelation 21:18-19, “I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things Gd will add to him the plagues that are written in this book, and if anyone take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the Holy City, and from the things that are written in this book.”

Don’t mess with God’s Word.

Most homosexuals were sexually abused as children.

They want to normalize their behavior to ensure better access to YOUR children.

[pgkdan]

We’ve been warned. 2 Timothy 3:5-7.

[Rurudyne]

It is indeed a Romans 1:18-32 era.

[Red Badger]

Nothing new. This has been around for hundreds of years..................

[JamesP81]

preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.

I believe that time has arrived. Perhaps it has always been with us. Nevertheless, it is always striking when the Bible, in a letter written 2,000 years ago, perfectly describes the sickness within our society.

But we should not be surprised. It is the inerrant Word of God, after all.

He’s on The Beast’s payroll ...

[Pearls Before Swine]

Why not go further, and make him black and Muslim, too?

Didn’t Mad Mo say he preceeded all the other prophets, the flow of time be damned!

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

No, as in they got married.

I never was able to make sense of it but I used to know a guy who was really into this theory. It is usually a corollary to the "Jesus was not really God just a prophet" theory.

[ravenwolf]

It took me a long time to understand why any one would want to burn witches at the stake, but now i think i am beginning to understand.

Never mind the stake, just burn them.

[jmaroneps37]

I’m surprised this wasn’t in Georgetown or Notre Dame but glad it wasn’t.

[WayneM]

But we should not be surprised. It is the inerrant Word of God, after all.

I'm not surprised one bit. I KNOW there is still a vast untold, untapped repository of knowledge and wisdom in the Holy Bible.

Even Christians can just barely see what it contains. And cannot comprehend most of what is there.

Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
