Today, a person I went to highschool with asked the question on their facebook, "Why is it so offensive to people to say Jesus was gay? He hung out with dudes, never got with a chick, had long hair, and was a carpenter..GAY!"
This was my reply:
Because Jesus was blameless, that's why He was the perfect sacrifice for all our sins. He was the lamb without a blemish. To be homosexual is an abomination before the Lord, which would mean if Jesus was gay, He would not have been perfect in the eyes of the Lord, He would not have been free of the sins of the world, and we would still be under ... See Morethe Law, and not a saved people. It's offensive to accuse someone who did not sin, and yet allowed himself to be tortured and killed for OUR sins of being a sinner. If He had been gay, there would be no CHristianity, we'd all still be jews.
Wow, did this stir up the insults! I was first attacked for being closed-minded because I believe homosexuality is wrong. But, wouldn't that make my friend closed-minded for thinking it was right? When I brought up the idea that we each choose different ways to think, he prefer the athiest way, I prefer the Christian way, and it doesn't make us closed minded, simply thinking on two opposite ends of the spectrum, I was then accused of throwing away my brain.
How do you guys deal with this type of double standard? As Christians, anything we say is considered hateful, closed-minded, and "sheep mentality". How do you get across to the other person that they are being very hypocritical by insulting you, refusing to try and see things your way, or putting all their faith in science?
