That I doubt. That's what the topic was though. I do remember Moses being cuckolded.
Some people are born with underdeveloped genitals - testicles that haven't descended, people that are of indeterminate gender at birth, etc.
I am fully aware of this. Just because I don't mention every possibility doesn't mean I haven't thought about them.
Yet you go ahead and dismiss all those pretty natural, pretty likely explanations out of hand. (There's actually a fair share of discussion about people with such features in the Talmud, quite a bit of it based on observation that kids like these actually are born. I would guess Jesus used a bit of a halakhic terminology - not medical terminology - when he said that. Those may not correspond. (Furthermore, we don't know whether Jesus' halakhic terminology even corresponds to tannaite such).)
No, I didn't dismiss them out of hand, I said it might involve gays.
Try re-reading.
Somehow I doubt that there were very many guys running around performing real miracles.
I fully agree. (However, people in sects do believe their leaders perform miracles (and may even convince themselves they've actually witnessed such!). Under some circumstances, I guess someone in a very strict Jewish-derived sect could conclude that although they had witnessed such miracles, and then in light of new experiences conclude that their leader is, in fact, a false prophet (and since Jesus would qualify for that, according to the OT laws, that could - for someone of a strict Torah-minded bent be enough to cause such a rethinking?). We don't need to posit actual miracles in order to posit that even close associates of someone can believe that miracles have, in fact, taken place!)
Meh. I still think his 'miracles' were a lot more like this:
