Kanye West Mixes Jesus with Jew-Hate, Gets Suspended from Twitter
We had high hopes for Kayne. When we first covered his supposed conversion in 2019, he was in good hands and was being taught and discipled by pastors who were theologically sound. Over the years, he showed some good fruit, such as Kanye West Talks Expository Preaching and Jesus on Joe Rogan Podcast and Kanye West Talks Faith In New GQ Interview, sayin things like:
One of my pastors, pastor Adam, the way he preaches is called expository. It’s like one-to-one by the Word. I like all different kind of preachers but there are some type of preachers they get up, they have the bible in their hand, and they close the bible and they just talk for two hours.
And some do have anointing, but expository preachers go line for line, and for me it’s like I come from entertainment. I got so much sauce, I don’t need no sauce on the word. I need the word to be solid food that I can understand exactly what God was saying to me through the King James version, through this, you know, this translation or the English Standard Version.”
He’s devolved rapidly over the last few years, frequently battling mental health issues, and this recent breakdown is a big one, mixing his ‘Jesus is King’ mantra with claims that he loves the Nazis and “especially Hitler”
Contrasted with this
The lesson in all this is that Jesus doesn’t need celebrities, and evangelicals need to stop lauding and praising every mildly popular person who makes a profession of faith or in some way references God or Jesus. They need to be treated as a seed that has fallen into a field, waiting to see if it will be into rich soil or by the wayside.
I would encourage you brothers to actually watch what he was saying. Then I would encourage you to try to understand from his perspective his comments in that last video. I am not Ye apologist, but I am an apologist for truth. The man spoke much about the need to follow Christ and how America is a sinful nation in need of Christian leadership. He mentions many facts about Jews running media and other industries. Those are just facts. He doesn’t demonize all Jews for it and did the opposite, actually. His Netanyahu comments make a bit more sense when taken in the context of every Jewish-run industry and business attacking him for pointing out facts and a typo’d tweet. There’s more to the story and it would be wise to hold your tongue on this one without a little more background.
I agree that anyone reading the headlines are under the impression West has become a Nazi-loving anti-semite – he hasn’t – but he is undoubtedly guilty of poorly stating his thoughts.
“Antisemitism” is just empiricism that’s not flattering to the Jews. Christians are eager to criticize other false religions like Islam, Mormonism, and Hinduism, they are eager to criticize other countries like China, Iran, and the former Soviet Union but if anyone even implies that Israel and the Jews don’t deserve the allegiance of Christians and the U.S. then they are called an anti-semite.
I can guarantee you that if the people producing pornography, running financial institutions, influencing our government, and broadcasting lies and vapid, soul-corroding media over our airwaves all had last names like Wang, Li, Zhang, and Chen, Christians would have no problem calling them “Chinese”.
It seems that Christians (especially dispensational ones) have a huge blind spot when it comes to the Jews and many of them seem to think there is a 3rd category of salvation invented for the Jews where they don’t have to accept Christ in order to be saved.
@The_Peter
“Christians” nowadays side more with the rejectors of Christ than the actual followers.
