Would Jesus have backed gay marriage?

[BrilloPad]

When the mob wanted to stone the woman for adultery Jesus said 'Let he who is without sin cast the first the stone'. I like to think his view on Homosexuality would be similar, in that he would not condemn them and would not want us to condemn them, but rather we should all love one another as we love ourselves. Jesus was all about universal love, it was the later church run by men that got all high and mighty.

That would mean his view on homosexuality would be that only those who hadn't practised homosexuality themselves were entitled to condemn homosexuals. Which was probably most people.

"Hate the sin not the sinner" is the common phrase. Jesus never said the adulteress woman hadn't done anything wrong, only pointed out that everyone else had too.

No one here seems to have considered the possibility that Jesus was himself gay. His relationships were much more about men than they were about women (the disciples were all men as was John the baptist). I never read any bits in the bible about women "grasping his manhood" for example.

It was clearly any sin. otherwise there would of been people who hadn't committed adultery selecting the nearest rock.

You could play "stoning bingo". "Let's see, I've stolen, cheated and avoided taxes... but that bloke's painting his house on the Sabath... get him"
