Bible Question:
Praise be to our LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ. I was recently talking to a friend an unbeliever about our Master Jesus Christ. Telling him how Jesus Christ loves us all and want to give all eternal life. He then mentioned that we Christians are hypocrites and mentioned about a rapper (Mase Betha) who turned Pastor Mase of SANE mininistries in Atlanta (it was a miraculous conversion) and it brought Glory to our LORD Jesus Christ. Mt friend now told me that this same paster as gone back to rapping (rapper) I was unawre of all this and I started reading about this on the internet and different articles. First of all the person in question is not relevant. Im more intrested in what is going on with this pastor My question is that if Jesus Christ as converted this pastor (as his own church and everything) would our LORD Jesus Christ then tell you to go back into the lifestyle He saved you from. I am a bit confused myself because I dont want to judge and our LORD Jesus Christ works in many ways we dont understand. Will this be sending a wrong message to non believers especially the young ones OR is this a plan that our LORD Jesus Christ is using to reach thousands of unsaved people through this once famous rapper turned pastor and now turned rapper minus all the swearing, money and sex. gab |
Bible Answer: Gab Welcome to the forum. First there is nothing sinful in the art form of rap itself. It is the words and ideas that is often conveyed that is the problem. So if this Pastor went back to rap and cleaned it up then he is not sinning. Now would someone come out of that life style and then go back? I have no idea what God has lead this man to do. I suspect he thought Pastoring was a lot easier then it turned out to be for him and he had to do something to make a living. Personally I don't care for rap, in fact I might say I hate it, but again the art form itself is not the sinful it is the words, ideas, attitudes and convictions rap often portrays to supports that are sinful.
