We all know Elton John is a homosexual. Even my mom, whose gaydar functions about as well as healthcare.gov, was able to figure that out decades ago (maybe it was his glasses or his sequined jackets… hard to tell). So it is not surprising that he himself would be promoting gay marriage “rights” all over the world. What is more annoying, if not very surprising, is his eagerness to tell us what Jesus would say on the subject. In an interview with Sky News, he happily exposed his ignorance:
Sir Elton agreed that gay clergy should be allowed to get married and suggested that the celibacy vow for Catholic priests be abolished.
“These are old and stupid things. If Jesus Christ was alive today, I cannot see him, as the Christian person that he was and the great person that he was, saying this could not happen. He was all about love and compassion and forgiveness and trying to bring people together and that’s what the church should be about.”
Speaking of “old and stupid,” perhaps Elton John should keep quiet about anything outside of the realm of looking fruity, writing ballads, or playing the piano. “If Jesus was alive today”? I’m guessing Elton John doesn’t realize that most Christians believe Jesus is alive today. That Elton John clearly doesn’t believe that, yet presumes to tell us all what Jesus would say about gay marriage, is par for the course with homosexual activists.
I will never understand why homosexuals are so obsessed with fitting Christianity, Jesus, popular culture, and everything else around their personal choices. If Christianity has traditionally been against homosexuality, then homosexuals should just reject Christianity altogether, right? Instead, they want to force Jesus and Christianity to fit into their mold. Does anyone else think that’s ridiculous? “I really badly want to be a member of your group. In fact, I love your group so much, that I want you to change some of its traditional core beliefs.” This is like a white man trying to convince the Black Panthers that Huey Newton would have permitted him to join. Why do homosexuals even want to join in the first place?
And just for your information, Dame Elton John, Jesus was not a Christian. Jesus was not a disciple of Jesus. That’s dumb. And He wasn’t “all about love and compassion and forgiveness and trying to bring people together,” etc. He did and said some really divisive things. Like this:
“Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I came to SET A MAN AGAINST HIS FATHER, AND A DAUGHTER AGAINST HER MOTHER, AND A DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AGAINST HER MOTHER-IN-LAW; and A MAN’S ENEMIES WILL BE THE MEMBERS OF HIS HOUSEHOLD. He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it.” (Matt. 10:34–39)
I will grant that Jesus was also very loving and compassionate and forgiving. But that doesn’t mean he just accepted people as they were. In fact, the very definitions of forgiveness and compassion necessitate that Jesus did not leave people as he found them. Most people overlook the conclusion of the oft-cited “woman caught in adultery” narrative. It ends with Jesus saying, “Go and sin no more.” He didn’t say, “Unlike the Pharisees, I accept you as you are.” In effect, he said, “The Pharisees were wrong. But so were you.”
What’s the point of love and forgiveness and compassion? The whole point of forgiveness is the clearing of wrong. It assumes that wrong has been done, and needs to be corrected to reach a resolution. If Jesus supports gay marriage, then his forgiveness and compassion don’t enter into it, do they? Because, in that case, homosexuals apparently aren’t in the wrong. If they need forgiveness and compassion from Jesus, which I believe is available to them, it is because they are doing what is wrong. But his forgiveness will not leave them as it finds them. Forgiveness and compassion are transformational.
And, in case you were wondering, Jesus already told us, in so many words, what he thinks about gay marriage. Jesus affirmed the traditional heterosexual conception of marriage: between man and woman (Matthew 19:1ff). And he also gave us a very clear description of what love means: “If you love me, you will keep my commandments” (John 14:15). But which commandments are those, Jesus? Well, he told us that, too:
Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished. Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. (Matt. 5:17–19)
Okay. So Jesus believed the Law (Torah) to be applicable until one of two things happened: either the law itself was accomplished (as in the case of the blood sacrifice of the Cross accomplishing what the other blood sacrifices foreshadowed) or until heaven and earth pass away. The laws against homosexuality have no possibility of accomplishment (whatever that would look like, I don’t know). So those laws still apply until the end of time. At which point there will be no more marriage or giving in marriage and this whole issue will be irrelevant (Matt. 22:30).
Love for God and man is obeying God’s commands. Since Jesus is about love, he is about obeying what God has commanded and rejecting what he has forbidden. According to Jesus, the whole point of the Law was showing love for God and man. Keeping the law was love. Love was keeping the law. Love can’t be defined any other way without being entirely destructive and arbitrary. Elton John acts as if Jesus would affirm anything that we deigned to call love. But such a perspective is absurd. To prove that, let’s look at another man who said something similar:
I haven’t got any guilt about anything because I have never been able to see any wrong. . . I have always said: Do what your love tells you, and I do what my love tells me.
His name was Charles Manson. His love involved killing people. But Jesus wouldn’t judge. Because Jesus is all about love.
You look at Elton John and think “how could anything this guy says not be true?”
Elton John is not just gay hes the Grandpappy of gays!
You Like elderly john? Hes like older than Steve Perry and thats alot to say!
Love his music… not so much his politics…
I hope you’re being sarcastic, Jessica. :o)
Guess I need to be more careful… OF COURSE I’M KIDDING…
You mean old EJ isn’t your idea of a Bible expert? Goodness, I’m shocked! Well, almost. Sort of. Ok, I’m not really shocked. But I do love your sense of humor!
We really need a sarcasm font. Reading your comments from other posts,I’m 99% certain you are being sarcastic.
Look at the guy… the glasses… everything.
Yes, of course I’m being sarcastic… Forgot can’t hear it in a post…
At least you weren’t criticized for using “fancy language,” with “baffling BS,” that confuses people. The use of “in tack” in regards to my comment seemed to have confused a poster and angered another. Explaining what I meant, only made things worse. Some days you just can’t win.
Some days it’s not worth trying! I am sarcastic often and forget how hard it is to recognize in a post. I think after a while people just get use to how you write…
Jesus freaks out in the street, Handing tickets out for God (tiny dancer/EJ)
So, what do people that tell the truth look like?
😀
Such sarcasm, it just drips from the computer, LOL!!
Sadly, Elton does not know Jesus or the Word of God. The laws of God do not change with the times. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. The USA will be judged as Sodom and Gomorrah were unless this nation repents and turns back to being obedient to God.
You mean Elderly Elton
Not likely, God sent the stenographer to the House Floor to do something I tried to get done for years with 100s of letters. They were clearly warned to quit mocking God, yet, they continue to this day. I think the stenographer on the House Floor was the last direct warning and yet they continue this day with their Goddess worship.
Now, we have the leader of Russia calling us Sodom and Gomorrah. He certainly knows who Obama is.
God is going to punish the USA for abortion and homosexual marriage. Some of us have been warning since 1998 about what will happen for mocking God as we do. The things I warned about back then I have seen come true.
There is a reason why the homosexual states are gathered in two main areas off the east and west coast. I would not buy any beach front property in those states.
Nor would I live anywhere near Las Vegas or where Harry Rerd calls home.
Nancy Pelosi thought she was smart and could fool everyone including God by passing earmark #8084 inside the StimUWaste, inside the DoD, but, God opened my mind to find it. I hope the WWW (Wicked Witch of the West) is feeling safe and cosy inside her taxpayer funded EOTW home inside the Presidio along with the Commie USSR leader that lives there … when God wipes it off the face of the earth.
Couldn’t have said it better. Judgment day is close at hand. I feel it may be too late for the US as we watch prophecy occur right before our eyes. But, I keep in mind that when you say a situation is hopeless, you’re slamming the door in the face of God. We must put our trust in the Lord as the last days unfold. Watching the storm brew on the east coast.
Don’t be gay! Be straight the good ole american way
Wonderful article! I totally agree!
Elton Gay is a Satanist. He is possessed by the great deceiver himself: Satan. And he is not the only one. Many people of fame and influence got to where they are by selling their soul to the devil.
Reg the pervert is not who I would choose to interpret Christ’s stand on anything.
I hardly think Jesus, of all people, would go against God, and God says homosexuality is a sin.
Elton John I could write what you know about Jesus Christ. On a piece of rice with a felt tip pen. I think it is very dangerous to lie about Jesus. God bless America.
What else would you expect a queer to say. A few minutes after he leaves this life, I would like to hear what he has to say then, but on the other hand I plan to be in a different place. According to the Bible Homosexuality is an abomination.
That is the problem today, we change Gods word to suit what we think. Well, Elton it does not work like that. Another uneducated comment from someone trying to justify their actions.
Well, here is EXACTLY what Jesus said about homosexual behaviour. Jesus ends the Bible telling you twice what will happen:
Rev 21:8
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
“whoremongers” – You would need to have a very old unabridged Websters to get the color of the word used. Let us just say it is not about a man and a woman doing it for money. Imagine a lecherous old man instead that lived a life of homosexual type behaviour.
“sorcerers” = druggies fwiw
Rev 22:15
For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
Now it is repeated a second time, ending the Bible about who does not make heaven. Now, do you really think “dog” = Lassie the canine? Know how the RCC use to go to the “new world” and insist on the missionary position? It was because of this passage.
Well, the RCC were kind of perverting the actually meaning here. If you know what the price of a dog and sow God did not want brought into his church, OT, you know how what the word dog means here in the NT.
Think of two riotous unruly men having sex like two canines and this pretty much is what the word dog means.
Not to hard to figure out just using a tool such as a Strongs or the Blue Letter Bible to look up the “Greek” meaning.
Even if you wanted to ignore Lev 20:13 (OT) or Romans 1:26 (NT), when the end of the Bible contains the warning not once, BUT, twice about who does not make it, from Jesus himself, and it includes homosexuals.
So, saying Jesus would approve of homosexual marriage is an LIE, when Jesus ends the Bible, clearly, by saying people practising homosexual behaviour do not make it to heaven.
At best Elton John is lying because he is ignorant of God’s word. Since Bernie is the word smith, maybe he could look up what the word DOG means in Revelation for Elton and explain it to him.
Well its been 2014 yeas since the birth of Jesus, and well they didn’t condone same sex marriage then or any were else for that matter, just another sexual deviate looking for justification and acceptance of his own perverted sense of self. If deep down he was not ashamed of himself he would give a rats back side on what anybody else thinks. But they do for some odd reason, they need approval. How about just keeping some things private. and well for some marriage is not going to be an option. And that is not just for the same sex crowd.
Sounds like they want to make the Ten Commandments say what it does not say.. We are to love one another, but we are not to be gay.. To say God or Jesus would approve homosexual would be like Sodom and Gomorrah was innocent of homosexual behavior and God made a mistake…God does not make mistakes.. Or Noah’s Flood.. And all the people who died were innocent…Come on, where do these people come up with their sins are ok because Jesus say it is…REALLY ??? what a liar and to be one who mislead others into sins will burn the longest and suffer the worse for their sins…He is misleading people to the wide road… He should repent now why there is still time, if there is time, look how long it took to build the Ark, and not one repent to join Noah and his family on the Ark. May be God already closed the door on them… But one thing for sure ,When Jesus return, they will learn the truth then…
Nothing like the old Qween of Pop to keep the Kweer adjenda going……….”Fruit Loops”!
More like the queen of anal reaming.
I am sure he would. Most faggot say the same. Even the ones that dont beleave in God
The majority of laws in this country prohibit gay interaction. But the courts in their lack of wisdom have decided to ignore those laws. The excuse is that those laws create prejudice against gay individuals. So what they are really saying is that all laws that create discrimination against someone or something are illegal. I challenge yo to find one law on the books today that does not create discrimination against someone or something. The truth is that all laws by their nature create discrimination. Therefore their argument would mean that all laws and even the constitution are illegal. Do we as a nation really want to go there? I for one do not.

Elton John espousing demonstrates his Biblical ignorance. For the bible clearly defines homosexuality an Abomination in both the Old and New Testaments. In the Old Testament those committing such acts were to be stoned to death. In the New Testament the congregation was to have no fellowship with them. They were to be purged from the assembly (sounds like being excommunicated to me). If they confess their sin and repent they can be welcomed back into the fold.
Elton needs to deal with his anal fissures. Elton is a fag – he is evil and a scumbag.
Still take it in the ass jhon?
Mr. Elton, you assume too much!
I notice that several perversions in the world today need to justify their existence via the Bible – homosexuality and islam. islam is very dependent on perverting the Bible to justify themselves, or to use tu quoque excuses for their bad behaviors. mohammed wasn’t gay but he was indeed a sexual pervert – a pedophile, a rapist and an adulterer (polygamy is nothing but trying to make adultery legitimate).
This coming from a punk that likes it in his backside ……………..How special !!!
7 reasons jesus was gay! by Ronnie Hafmerb
1) The son of God, a man that had the power to surround himself with hundreds of women choose 12 men to hang out with. 12 MALE Apostles.
2) These 12 men all went by their full names. Nathaniel, Phillip, Andrew, Mathew, Thomas and so on. This is something that gay men are notorious for. If Judas was into vagina he would have gone by Jud. Mathew would have been Matt and Thomas would have been Tom
3) His first miracle of turning water into wine. Please, wine?! A straight male would have made that a beer and called it a day. But Jesus had class and taste, he converted that H2O into Sauvignon Blanc Jerusalem Valley 26 AD. Poof!
4) History states that he was a “craftsman” until the age of 30. Some say that this translates into a carpenter. But for the sake of my theory I am saying that a “craftsman” was really an interior designer.
5) He was 30 and not married and in those days people got married at 15.
6) He preached the importance of charity and loving one another. Powerful straight men start wars and pay for sex while their wives are at home with the kids
7) Jesus had the power to do anything that he wanted. If this man were a heterosexual male, the wrecker of everything scared he would have created a machine gun or the stock market. But the son of God, Jesus of Nazareth, used his heavenly power to heal the sick and give vision to the blind
I enjoyed your article. I would like to add 2 points, not as a critique necessarily, but to hopefully be the iron that sharpens iron.
1.) The inability of some to harmonize the “mean and wrathful” God of the OT with the “nice and loving” Jesus of the NT stems from a lack of knowledge about the trinity. Jesus IS the God of the OT, and God has different attributes, including hatred of sin and a love for those who turn from it. In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God (John 1). Jesus not only approves Leviticus, He is the author of it.
2.) ” I will never understand why homosexuals are so obsessed with fitting Christianity, Jesus, popular culture, and everything else around their personal choices.”
Its easy. The first sin and the most prominent one today is creating God in our own image. You’ll notice these people never treat Islam, Buddhism, etc w the same revisionist view. It is because the truth of God has been made plain for everyone to see(Rom 1), but because they love their own sin they have been given over to a reprobate mind. It is only because of the grace of God that we too have not been given over. Homosexuals know that they are sinful which is why they will never be contempt with “being allowed to do what they want in their own bedrooms”. It will always involve a societal push of their ungodly ways.
