Infallable he ain't

Jesus was indeed a Jew, a Gallilean Jew whose concerns, if we wish to stay historical rather than theological, were those of the rural Jew and in direct conflict with those of the Sinhedrin, the rulers of the Temple in Jeruselem. Given that even in the Torah, there is only a single reference to same-sex contact we can infer that such things were of slight interest to most given the whole realm of other problems they had to deal with. Then when one considers how gently he treated the truly dispised of the era, tax-collectors, prostitutes, lepers, Samarian, etc. it is no stretch of the imagination to believe he would have been equally forebearing with homosexuals as well.

You cant discount Jesus of Nazareth's religious status. He was either a nobody from back of beyond, or King of the Jews. If he was a nobody, what he did or believed is irrelevant; if he was King of the Jews then he was part of the Trinity...and you cant minimize his significance. He's one or the other, and you cannot mold and shape him into what you want.

In fact, its even worse if he was a chicken kicker from the country, because then you get to thinking about why they crucified him. Modern Gay apologists are caught between a rock and a hard place with Jesus.

I do believe Christs problems with the Sanhedrin revolved around THEIR non-compliance with the religious laws and customs, NOT his.
 
Which conflict derived directly from the Sinhedrin's lack of mercy, tolerance and goodwill towards anyone who wasn't lining their pockets. "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all soul and with all thy might and thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." That is Christian theology, alpha and omega. All else is dross.

Still, Jews considered same-sex marriage sacriledge....and still do.
