Mega-Church Pastors Says Homosexuality “A Sin;” Adds That By Extension Elton John “A Sinner”

California-based Christian Joel Osteen and his wife Victoria are guests on CNN’s Piers Morgan Tonight this Wednesday, and the pastor says that homosexuality is a sin. “The scripture shows that it’s a sin,” Osteen says. “But you know, I’m not one of those that are out there to bash homosexuals and tell them that they’re terrible people and all of that. I mean, there are other sins in the Bible too ... I don’t believe homosexuality is God’s best for a person’s life.” Osteen, who apparently does not discuss sin specifically, is asked by Morgan if Sir Elton John and David Furnish (friend’s of Pier’s) are then considered sinners, to which Osteen answers, “Yes,” adding “it’s strictly back to what the scripture says. I mean, I can’t grab one part and say God wants you to be blessed and live an abundant life, and not grab the other part that says, you know what? You know, live that kind of life. So it comes back to the scripture. I’m not the judge. You know, God didn’t tell me to around judging everybody.”
