Quote from unretired:
I rarely say "mark my words" ... maybe once every year or two.
Mark my words. Elton John will be judged, and will be judged innocent. To be more exact, Elton John will be judged to be the Son of Go(o)d, and the Son of Go(o)d will be judged to be innocent. What is not the Son of Go(o)d will be/has been judged to be non-existent.
Elton John, like Christians do, is projecting a view of his self onto the Son of Go(o)d. Elton projects high self-esteem, Christians project low self-esteem. Christians are projecting their low self-esteem on Elton John, who substitutes for the Son of Go(o)d. Elton substitutes for their sins, so-to-speak. Likewise, Jesus substitutes for Christian's sins, who blaspheme the Son of Go(o)d and Our Father constantly with their ill-founded judgements about guilt and blood/life sacrifice. Christians cast all their guilt upon the shoulders of Jesus, who symbolizes all of mankind. Elton John is a part of mankind, upon whose shoulders Christians are casting their guilt. The insane believe that by projecting their guilt, they will be innocent by comparison.
unretired is quite busy casting his guilt upon Elton John, a testament more about unretired's belief about his self than anyone else.
Jesus is a symbol of all of us. The truth about Jesus is the truth about us all. Likewise, the lie about Jesus is the same lie about us all. We cast our prejudices upon Jesus, and upon one another. And this is because we are casting our prejudices upon the Son of Go(o)d. We are all substitutes for the Son of Go(o)d. And so, if we are guilty, then the Son of Go(o)d is guilty. Conversely, if the Son of Go(o)d is innocent, so are we.
Hetero-sex is as "gay" as homo-sex. Let me put it another way. To be a human is to be some kind of spiritual cross-dresser. Humanhood - all humanhood - is NOT NATURAL. Only Spirit is natural. Anything else is, well, just plain "gay". We all know this, which is why we try to project our "gay" secrets upon the openly gay.
At least Elton John understands that innocence is the truth, and chooses to hold self (and others) in generally high esteem. As he does so, his esteem for his self will rise, until, reaching the truth, he will come to understand that he is Christ, and not a man at all.
Elton may not be all right. But he is closer to the truth than are Christians. To be a man (or a woman) is NOT NATURAL. There is no male or female in Christ.
Christ!
