Sir Elton John claims Jesus was gay

[Lovely Lane]

Elton, 62, declares as he pours out his heart to a magazine: "I think Jesus was a compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems."

who would have thunk it ?

Dr. Gary Cass of the "Christian Anti-Defamation Commission" states that Elton John must apologize.


I haven't heard of the "Christian Anti-Defamation Commission" before now.
I like the idea and the groups efforts.

Sexual orientation doesn't matter much to me so I don't see this as being an issue. I don't think he actually was gay...but I'd laugh all the way to the bank after seeing the look on some conservative faces if he was.

I think I understand your point of sexual orientation idea, but my opinion of some one blatantly blasphemes Christ is absolutely ridiculous and should be held accountable.

No one pokes fun or blasphemes Mohammad without an outcry by His follower's. And again, the Jew's will not stand silent when they are offended either. IMO, it's way past time for all follower's of Christ to stand up and be recognized that it is not ok to belittle our faith. just saying

NO WAY, JESUS WAS ACE !
Asexuals claimed it first!

Sorry Ishida, I didn't understand your remarks. Can you explain them to me?

 

[Apollo Celestio]

I was being sarcastic.

FTR, Asexuals don't experience sexual attraction.

What we would expect from a man like Elton John.

No big deal his opinion.

Move on.

What magazine? Where is the source please?

 

[lux et lex]

And how is this blasphemy?

The statement should be substantiated with an actual source before discussing blasphemy or not. No source is given in the OP (?)

well, without getting into off topic discussion about the definition of blasphemy, let's just say that is my opinion as I understand the definition of blasphemy, and fits of what John stated.

Feel free to disagree, but what John said was disrespectful of G'd.

gee, I didn't know I was to post a source, especially when I can't post links.
Google it, bet you can find it.

Is this the formal debate thread?

Celebrities are always saying crazy things about religion and Christ. Most of them have no idea what they are talking about.

I don't understand how suggesting that someone is gay constitutes either "blasphemy" or "poking fun" at them.

 

[The Penitent Man]

Sir Elton is himself gay. How convenient.

In all seriousness, there is a Saviour for everyone.

Red, Black, Brown, Yellow & White, all are precious in His sight ...

 

[jellybean99]

I don't believe that Elton John said, "Jesus was gay."
I think he said, "Jesus was okay." Elton John's mouth must have been full when he spoke those words.

Sorry Ishida, I didn't understand your remarks. Can you explain them to me?

I don't believe that to be true either. Jeus was not without temptation. He just proved that with the power of the Holy Spirit, we can resist temptation and live a godly life.

Oh joy, yet another pro-gay celebrity giving uninformed opinions about who Jesus was.

Granted, from the Bible itself it is impossible to say for 100% certain whether Jesus was gay or not, isn't it funny that the only people advocating that he was gay belong to the gay community (or at the least throw their full weight behind the gay movement). Wouldn't it be great if that just once... JUST ONCE..... someone who didn't have a pro-gay agenda actually agreed with the consensus that has stood for the past 2000 years (more than, if you include the pre-Jesus Hebrew views on this)

Funny thing as I see it - the regular Joe Blogg on the street is more likely to believe this than they are an actual issue about Jesus, simply because this is more news-worthy. I recall a newspaper article written about five years ago now with the headline "JESUS WAS GAY". Of course, the newspapers never really did make it clear that the person making such a claim had no background in ancient history, was only a Philosophy pre-graduate student, and was also gay himself.......

As Sketch House would put it..... "NOTHING SUSS".....
