Marilyn Manson- the famed artist who became the poster child for “satanic music” in the early ’90s, particularly after his much protested “AntiChrist Superstar” Album was released, joined professing Christian Justin Bieber for one of Kanye West’s famed Sunday Service events, allegedly singing along and in actuality at one point being prayed for.
Kanye’s Sunday Service, the first one since 2019, had the choir and the two celebrities don robes for the event, which cost 10$ to live stream via Triller. and where they sang gospel songs from the artist’s last two albums. According to People Magazine:
“A spokesperson for Manson tells PEOPLE that Manson was an “integral part” of the Sunday Service. When asked if he had turned to Christianity, the spokesperson said, “That’s nobody’s business.”
Manson himself has been under heavy fire in the last year and has stayed out of the limelight, after being publicly accused by at least 15 women of a host of disturbing and criminal behavior, including sexual assault, torture, and emotional and physical abuse.
Kanye and Bieber, despite their faith professions, have both very underdeveloped and frequently compromised beliefs, West moreso than Bieber. This cast doubts on whether the seed to be planted in the soil is able to produce good fruit, given their propensity to give a warped and misunderstood presentation of the gospel.
Despite this, we pray that the Lord used this event to minister to Manson and give him faith that leads to repentance.
