“Jesus said, Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” – Matthew 7:21-23
THE CHRISTIAN POST reports: Rapper Kanye West, who now goes by the name Ye, said in a recent interview that he has “issues with Jesus” and would rather take things into his “own hands” instead of giving Jesus full control.
West and fellow rapper Ty Dolla $ign, a collaborating artist on his new album Vultures 1, appeared for an interview with radio personality Big Boy posted to his Big Boy TV YouTube channel.
“I have my issues with Jesus,” West began during the interview, which lasted for over an hour. “There’s a lot of stuff I went through, and I prayed, and I ain’t see Jesus show up.”
“I had to put my experience in this world, my experience with my children, my experience with other people, my experience with my account, my experience with my brand and my experience with the level of music that I was dealing with, in my own hands.”
West criticized Christians in society today as not being proactive enough when given opportunities to help others.
“I just feel like in our society and America, people, Christians will depend on Jesus so much that we don’t put the work in ourself. And the main thing that I don’t rock with is like, ‘I’m going to pray for you.’ It’s just like, you can actually physically do something yourself, too, more than just praying.”
“And we’re so in this mentality that that’s all that needs to happen. But we aren’t praying our way out of prison. We aren’t praying our way out of the abortion clinics. We aren’t praying our way to get our land back after gentrification after the Harlem Renaissance and Black Wall Street was burned to the ground. Them prayers are not working.”
The rapper argued that physical action taken by humans is key to making things happen. “We are going to have to apply actual physical building partnerships, and it don’t start unless we could really be real with each other,” the 46-year-old said.
“You know how many threats we’ve been dealt with. And I haven’t prayed my way through them threats either. I had to get up and do it myself. I had so much to do, I haven’t had time to pray.”
Later in the interview, West claimed that he is God of himself.
“Cause I’m God,” he said, when asked about his success in the music industry and how he hasn’t “disappeared.” And “anyone who wants to disagree, I’m the God of me. You can’t tell me who I am. I can’t tell y’all. I could tell y’all. It’s your job to listen. I’m the God of me. I don’t know if I’m in heaven already.”… (Continue reading)
