Elton John<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Elton John may never become any kind of Christian leader, but he still thinks he should be.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, according to the Washington Times<\/a><\/strong>, the ageing celeb said ‘that Jesus Christ would support the idea of two gay priests tying the knot and that the celibacy vow among clergy is an \u201cold and stupid\u201d rule that should be abolished’.<\/p>\n

Mr. John, who hopes to ‘marry’ his sodomite civil partner David Furnish some time next year, said gay clergy should be allowed to ‘marry’ and have sexual relationships.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese 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,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Apparently, the greater and more ‘Christian’ one is on planet Elton, the more one agrees that the rectum is an appropriate receptacle for the male\u00a0anatomy.<\/p>\n

That only confirms Elton as confused, crass and clueless about the Christian faith.<\/p>\n

The Lord Jesus cannot be described as a ‘Christian person’ and he is alive. \u00a0He was and is the Son of God who ministered on earth as a Jewish Pharisee, upheld and taught the laws of God and died on a cross to bear the sins of as many as would believe in him, sexual sins like sodomy included.<\/p>\n

There is little evidence that Elton John understands this and even less that he has repented of his acts of sodomy and\/or gross indecency with David Furnish and countless others. \u00a0His ignorance of the Lord Jesus knows no \u00a0bounds:<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was all about love and compassion and forgiveness and trying to bring people together, and that\u2019s what the church should be about.\u201d<\/p>\n

Actually, the Jesus we read about in scripture, not the one who is a figment of Elton’s imagination, is ‘all about’ division:<\/p>\n

Luke 3:16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire: 17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.<\/p>\n

Luke 12:51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:<\/p>\n

John 7:40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet. 41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?\u00a042 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was? 43 So there was a division among the people because of him.<\/p>\n

John 9:16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As to ‘love and compassion and forgiveness’, Elton, yes, the Lord Jesus will forgive all your sins if you turn to him, but if if you persist in your sin and go around\u00a0promoting it in your pride and arrogance he will be a consuming fire.<\/p>\n

The love of Christ is not some mawkish, sentimental endorsement of whatever goes, but a calling to repentance:<\/p>\n

Mark 1:14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.<\/p>\n

2John 1:6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sir Elton\u00a0told Sky News that ‘the global fight for gay rights was stalling’ and that he planned to talk with Russian President Vladimir Putin in November.<\/p>\n

\u201cGlobally, we seem to have gone backwards over the last 18 months,\u201d he said. \u201cI will see Putin and talk to him. I don\u2019t know what good it will do though.\u201d<\/p>\n

Let us hope and pray that President Putin will tell Elton John the truth, that sodomy is a act of abuse, that homosexual desires are vile affections and that Jesus Christ can\u00a0release him from his sinful life. \u00a0Then their meeting, if it takes place at all, will have done some good.<\/p>\n
