Homosexuality: An 'Interview' with Jesus         


Date: Dec 23, 2007 02:43

The following article has been posted to various Usenet newsgroups since
1995, and usually creates quite a stir!

It addresses one of the two or three most-argued-issues between
Christians and non-Christians on the Internet, and between Christians
themselves...

Some object to the idea of an imaginary interview with Jesus about
anything. But 'dialogues with Jesus' / sermons on 'What would Jesus
do/say?' are common homiletical devices often used by Christian
preachers and theologians. (For example Jacob Neusner's 'A Rabbi Talks
with Jesus' is a well-known imaginary dialogue between Jesus and a
sympathetic Jewish scholar).

Many (most?) conservative folks seem to have a visceral homophobic
tendency to shut their minds to any possibility of changing their
deeply-held prejudices and paradigms.

This is too brief, probably simplistic and somewhat tentative. Those of
you to my ideological right and left will want to modify some of this. I
invite your critical comments.
