The Hollywood Bowl has never been shy about mocking God, but this summer it outdid itself. Jesus Christ Superstar was dragged back onto the stage, only this time the crown was handed to Cynthia Erivo, a black lesbian actress who strutted as “Jesus,” while Adam Lambert played Judas. The lights blazed, the crowd cheered…and the gospel itself was thrown under the bus.
Erivo knew the outrage was coming. But she grinned, shrugged, and brushed it off with a smug “Why not?” Her explanation was simple enough. Broadway is “the gayest place on Earth.” That was her sermon. Not the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, but a flippant laugh delivered in rhinestones.
The crowd loved it, of course, because they weren’t there to worship Christ. They were there to watch Him be mocked.
This was just a tired woke ritual. The show preached nothing of forgiveness, nothing of redemption. Instead, it dressed sexual anarchy in sequins and called it holy. You could even argue the stage smelled like sulfur, with every spotlight advertising the same hollow creed…you can have your Christ, as long as He looks like us.
The casting told the real story. This wasn’t about talent. It was about catechism. A queer, black, female Christ was the idol they chose, the crowning jewel of their woke religion. The audience clapped and cheered for their new messiah, a glittering mascot who affirmed their sins and smirked at the idea of grace.
And despite what our Evangelical leaders cry, Romans 1 was not whispered in the background. It was shouted from the stage. The truth was exchanged for a lie, and the crowd roared its approval. There was no cross to carry, no blood to cover sins, no gospel to believe. Just a counterfeit savior leading a counterfeit church in counterfeit worship.
They call this progress. What it really is can’t be hidden under stage lights. It’s a satanic parody of the gospel. They can laugh, clap, and mock all they want. Christ still reigns, unshaken and untouchable. The empty tomb is not a stage prop. The throne of heaven is not up for recasting. And no amount of glitter will cover the coming judgment.
It should be instructive how consistently and frequently the homo-left mocks Christ and His servants.
One of the worst displays is the “hunky jesus contest” held around Easter in Sodom Cisco every year. It is a mockery contest to beat all others.
The Left hates and despises Christianity and America. It’s fervent goal is that America be totally transformed into an epicurean, neo pagan, hedonistic, decadent cog in a globalist pit of misery.
They're rabid.
Question: Does this work for them? Does this advance their agenda? Or does it inspire backlash that results in undermining their LGQTQWERTY agenda and, perhaps even causing people to look at Christ in a better light? Or maybe cause people to see American values and conservatism in a better light?
On a podcast this morning I heard that SCOTUS is hearing a case that could overturn gay marriage. It is regarding that rather old case of the government clerk who was forced to issue marriage licenses to homosexuals, against her religious beliefs.
Now imagine if they mocked ISlime and Mad Mo the same way. We’d never hear the end of it.
Sky News has been all over this
That bald black dancer is scary AF
Just like Ancient Rome.
I agree.
And unholy.
It’s going to be hard for the blasphemers to top this, but I’m sure they’ll think of something…
When it comes to issues of “systemic racism” (bank foreclosures, traffic stops, prison, etc.)I ask “what are the statistics for Asians”?
When it comes to anti-Jesus liberal “courage acts” I like the saying of “Now do Mohammed”.
“dragged” back onto the stage. I see what they did there.
Good questions. Only time will tell.
They can’t think beyond their own hatred….
Two reasons to avoid this stunt.
Muslims throw homosexuals off of roof tops. Yet gay organizations won’t say a word. Why not?
One, it’s because they’re total hypocrites.
And two, it’s because they (of course) know there would be a violent backlash. This reason speaks to how intolerant and brutal Islam is.
If Jesus is not real, why the constant opposition?
It was bad enough when John Legend did the “live” version of JCS on tv a few years back, now this? I love the original JCS and play the soundtrack from time to time.
