I've noticed the Jesus and Elvis are actually very similar! Not in the theological sense, but in the way that they were both very popular and many people believed that they were still alive after they have died. Weird!

I've drawn even more parallels between Jesus and Spock. There's even a novel called Spock : Messiah.

Wouldn't it be funny if Elvis returned intead of Jesus?

Elvis did return. Just ask my friend Dusty. He sings just like him.

I am holding a worship service all day tomorrow for Elvis and his saving songs. Praise Elvis, the love.

Nooby here. Love the site. I got this from another site (can't remember where);so I can't claim to having come up with it....

The similarities between Jesus Christ and Elvis Presley are almost uncanny. Just check the following parallels for yourself!

Jesus said "Love thy neighbor." Elvis said "Don't be cruel."

Jesus is the Lord's shepherd. Elvis dated Cybill Shepherd.

Jesus was part of the Trinity. Elvis' first band was a trio.

Jesus walked on water. Elvis surfed (Blue Hawaii, 1965).

Jesus' entourage, the Apostles, had 12 members. Elvis' entourage, the Memphis Mafia, had 12 members.

Jesus was resurrected. Elvis had the famous 1968 "Comeback" TV special and many posthumous mall sightings.

Jesus said "If a man thirst, let him come to me, and drink." (John 7:37). Elvis said "Drinks on me" (Jail House Rock, 1957).

Jesus fasted for 40 days and nights. Elvis also had irregular eating habits (eg, 5 banana split breakfast).

Jesus is a Capricorn (Dec 25). Elvis is a Capricorn (Jan8).

Matthew was a biographer of Jesus. Neil Matthews was a biographer of Elvis (A Golden Tribute).

"Jesus countenance...like lightning...raiment snow white." (Matthew 28:3) Elvis wore snow white jumpsuits with lightning bolts.

Jesus lived in a state of grace in a near-eastern land. Elvis lived in Graceland in a nearly eastern state.

Jesus' mother Mary had an immaculate conception. Elvis' wife Priscilla went to Immaculate Conception H.S.

People called Jesus a "...glutton and a drunk." (Luke 7:34) People called Elvis "...an overweight druggie...".

Jesus died for us. Young girls would 'die for' Elvis.

Jesus was born in humble surroundings. Elvis was born in Mississippi.

Even today Jesus has a cult following. Even today Elvis has a cult following.

Jesus was called "King of Israel.." (John 12:13) Elvis was called "King of Rock n' Roll".

Coincidence or Fact? You be the judge

Since when were Elvis and Jesus two different people?

rcressl · 01-03-2004, 03:14 AM

JetBlckNewYr03 , they've ALWAYS been separate people! You see, Elvis is still alive. He used to work with my dad at a muffler/brake shop. Jesus is not alive.

OR, are they really separate people? Jesus and Elvis both have five letter names... See, maybe we've got the J wrong, as it really was an L and we've got 'Jesus' spelled wrong... perhaps it was... Elsus... which is similar to Elvis... err... I'll shut up.

Seriously, there was this guy who worked with my dad who dressed like Elvis and talked very similar to him... he worked at the garage... and he answered the phone and sometimes at the end of conversations he'd actually say "Thank you very much." in that Elvis-ey way. Elvis is a funny name... heh

You think Jebus would have made more of an impact with his preaching if he had been wearing a sequined jumpsuit?

I do.

Fr8monkey · 01-05-2004, 08:09 AM

How about the at the end of the surmon on the mount, Jesus breaking out into a rousing rendition of 'You ain't nothin' but a hound dog"?
