I have heard numerous times Christians happily say that they have \u201cgay friends,\u201d as though it were a badge of honor. I have no problem with sharing the Gospel with homosexuals, but why should we make it a major goal for Christians to have gay friends?<\/p>\n<p>Would Christ have gay friends? \u201cYes, since he spent time with tax collectors and prostitutes,\u201d would be the answer of many modern Christians. But while this is true, this does not prove that Christ would have gay friends. A tax collector and prostitute are not homosexuals.<\/p>\n<p>In Genesis Abraham is visited by three figures, one of whom he refers to as \u201cMy Lord\u201d (Genesis 18:3), and who Scripture calls \u201cthe LORD\u201d (Genesis 18:17). This person was then God in the flesh, and thus Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n<p>After much feasting, Christ and the other two men leave Abraham to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know. (Genesis 18:21-22)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The sin of Sodom and Gomorrah was homosexual deviancy (19:4-10). Christ therefore, destroyed a city for &#8216;gay&#8217; behavior. Christ believed in the Law which Moses, being divinely inspired, wrote against homosexuality:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood [shall be] upon them. (Leviticus 20:13)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He would also have subscribed to the Mosaic law which forbade men from wearing women\u2019s clothing and vice versa:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman\u2019s garment: for all that do so [are] abomination unto the LORD thy God. (Deuteronomy 22:5)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So would Christ have gay friends? No. But do you know who would? Muhammad. Muhammad, contrary to Scripture, in fact wore the clothes of his child-bride Aisha as a ritual to receive revelation from Allah.<\/p>\n<p>In\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.answering-islam.org\/Responses\/Abualrub\/mhd_cross_dressing1.htm\" target=\"_blank\">the Sahih Collection of al-Bukhari, Hadith Number 2442,<br \/>\nChapter 52,<\/a>\u00a0Muhammad says:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The revelation does not come to me when I am in the garment of any woman except \u2018A\u2019isha.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.answering-islam.org\/Responses\/Abualrub\/mhd_cross_dressing1.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith Number 3941,<\/a>\u00a0the same impostor states:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Do not hurt me with Aisha; for by Allah, the inspiration did not descent on me while I was in the coverings (lihaf) of any of you (women) except Aisha.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.answering-islam.org\/Responses\/Abualrub\/mhd_cross_dressing1.htm\">Sahih collection of Imam Muslim, Hadith Number 4472<\/a>, one Zaynab Bint Jahsh requests a visit to see Muhammad<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>while he was with Aisha in (fee) her robe (Mirt) and in the same state that Fatimah found him in.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As we write in our book,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/God-Tyranny-When-Nations-Natural\/dp\/0982567901\">For God or For Tyranny,<\/a>\u00a0the Quran itself promises boy loving for jihadists in paradise.<\/p>\n<p>The followers of Muhammad consisted of\u00a0<em>mukhannathun<\/em>, or cross dressers. It is the same word as mukhannatah, which in Arabic means homosexual.<\/p>\n<p>Daayiee Abdullah, an openly gay imam,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.metroweekly.com\/feature\/?ak=2458)%20)%20thinkers\">describes<\/a>\u00a0the mukhannathun as<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>sort of a male-female, cross-dressing types. They existed. And they also lived or worked in the household of the Prophet. Aisha, one of the Prophet\u2019s wives, indicated that there were men who worked in the household. They were mukhannathun. That generally meant that they were not necessarily castrated, but not having an interest in women.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Muhammad not only was a cross-dresser, but he had gay friends. So the next time you hear a modern Christian laud himself for having gay friends and criticize the church for prohibiting homosexuality, let him know that Jesus wouldn\u2019t have gay friends, but Muhammad did.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Find out how to join Christian Voice and stand up for the King of kings (clicking on the link below does not commit you to join)<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/wp.me\/P1OVTZ-gb\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3940\" style=\"border: 0px;\" title=\"Join Today!\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Join_donate_Logo2.jpg\" width=\"185\" height=\"180\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Please note that persons wishing to comment on this story must enter a valid email address.
