How can Christians affirm Jesus was not gay when in John 13:23, John, a person whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him.
>>18250681Christians still can't explain the naked fugitive story. It makes him look like Michael Jackson with young boys.
>>18250681>>18250685Why do atheists think about gay sex non-stop?
>>18250701Yes. Putting your head on your friend's chest isn't gay. It's wonderful. A good Christian should do the same.
>>18250729Are you American? Because Americans are notoriously known for seeing any form of male affection as "gay".I think that says more about you but whatever.
>>18250685It's been explained repeatedly. They were Essenes (monastic Jews.) That was their monk-robe.
>>18250681As for OP
>>18250685>>18250779to add to this, it's not just the boy who is only wearing a singular linen item but also all of the disciples and Jesus himself. In the case of the disciples this is because they too are following the Essenic tradition since they were following John the Baptist initially and Jesus is technically a disciple of John the Baptist, who was clearly an Essene, but also the fact that Jesus goes along with adopting this tradition of wearing a singular linen garment is to fulfill a prophecy in Psalms about how 'they will divide my garments among them and cast lots for my tunic' as in 'they will gamble and bet with each other over who gets my garment because it's a singular item'this is why Jesus' clothing in so much artwork is depicted like picrel, a singular flowing white robe/tunic. By the time of him being arrested in the garden of Gethsemane he is intentionally only wearing this singular piece of clothing (and the young disciple with him is imitating him) in order to fulfill the prophecy since he knows what is going to happen that night.Also the boy that is there is just the son of the housekeeper who lets the disciples lodge for the night there near the garden and he is likely a young John Mark as the other anon pointed out in his picrel. Kid Mark throws off his Essene linen robe and runs away naked probably so that they can't identify him on the run since people in these white linen robes would have been very identifiable.tldr when it says he was wearing a singular piece of clothing it means a flowing white linen robe and they were ALL wearing them because they were copying Jesus who was wearing it for prophecy reasons which is why the Essenes even developed that tradition in the first place to 'make the way' for the Messiah (Revelation also still describes the firstfruits of the Lamb i.e. the first martyrs and saints that rest under the throne as wearing these white linen robes too)

>>18250681The nakedness has something to do with this:people do not light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.Your penis is a light pole.
>>18250983What for?
In Eden, Adam and Eve, overwhelmed by shame after sin, make inadequate coverings (fig leaves) to hide their naked exposure. These fail to truly resolve guilt or restore relationship with God.God then provides animal skins (Genesis 3:21), implying the first blood sacrifice, as a better, divinely-given covering, foreshadowing atonement.In Mark, the young man wears a sindon as a hasty, loose covering (like fig leaves, it is makeshift and insufficient). Under pressure, he abandons it, fleeing in naked shame, symbolizing failed human discipleship and vulnerability.Jesus' dead body is wrapped in a sindon (Mark 15:46), not as a living person's inadequate garment, but as the proper burial preparation for a corpse. This wrapping enfolds the full weight of human shame, sin, and death (the consequences of Eden's Fall).Jesus takes upon himself the failed coverings of humanity (fig leaves, discarded sindons) and the full reality of death/shame they represent. The divine provision foreshadowed in Eden's skins is fulfilled in Christ's sacrificial death.
