I got into an who claimed to be a Christian, but demonstrated such a hateful, damning spirit that it cast a lot of doubt on that claim.

One part of his stance was that Jesus didn't perform miracles on [homosexuals] in any of the parables (of course, Jesus TAUGHT in parables; the accounts of his miracles are not parables, but this guy isn't the sharpest sword).

That stumped me for a bit, and then I was reading about the healing/exorcism of the Gerasene Demoniac. This guy had many many evil spirits in him, maybe as many as two thousand (one for each pig in the herd). I am certain that every evil you or I have ever heard of, including foul language and homosexuality, were dwelling in that man.

Jesus healed him. Of course, another part of the user's claim is self-refuting: if any homosexual would have been "executed ASAP" in Jesus' day, then there wouldn't have been any homosexuals around to perform miracles on!

There's no indication that Jesus ever had sex with anyone. He was a religious prophet, probably a member of the Essene sect. He may have been celibate. Whether he ever talked to homosexuals -- probably. Whether he knew they were homosexuals -- there is no indication of this in scripture. I don't believe Jesus ever singles out homosexuality to prohibit or criticize. Which does not mean he advocated it, or agreed with it, much less actually did it.

Whether he knew they were homosexuals

Man you have a dim view of Jesus. He knew that the woman at the well "had no husband," and that she had five previous husbands and was living with another man. He knew what people were thinking in their hearts. He knew that he would raise Lazarus from the dead.

Now that I've typed those few things out, it occurs to me that you don't believe that Jesus is God or that he rose from the dead. So nevermind. Wasting my breath here.
