Listen very carefully to what Kanye West just said in an interview with Alex Jones, all while proudly displaying the

00:06

Bible right in front of him. You're not a Nazi. You don't deserve to be called that and demonized. Well, I see good things about Hitler also.

00:17

I love everyone, and Jewish people are not going to tell me. You can love us, and you can love what we're doing to you with the contracts, and you can love what we're pushing with the pornography.

00:32

But this guy that invented highways, invented the very microphone that I use as a musician, you can't say out loud that this person ever did anything good, and I'm done with that.

00:44

I'm done with the classifications. Every human being has something of value that they brought to the table, especially

00:51

Hitler. Do I round up Jews in Nazi Germany? Do I get love then? Schwarzenegger said he loved Hitler.

00:57

They gave him an award. I'm just saying, I don't like Nazis, and I don't like what some of the mafias are doing either. I like Hitler.

01:03

Oh, my goodness. Just because you don't like one group doesn't mean the other. I love Jewish people, but I also love -

01:12

Oh, man. Well, I have to disagree with that. You're explaining that, like you said, you love the Zionists.

01:17

You don't agree with some of the things they're doing, even though you don't support a lot of what's happening. Seriously, I've really studied a lot of history, plus I had family that was there.

01:25

I mean, I don't think Hitler was a good guy. I get the Hugo Boss uniforms, amazing.

01:30

But I mean, just because you're in love with the design, you're a designer, can we just kind of say, you like the uniforms, but that's about it.

01:37

No, there's a lot of things that I love about Hitler, a lot of things.

01:46

Hey, Netan, what did you think about that, Netan? This is insane.

01:53

You are an insane person. How could you say something - Shortly after this interview, Kanye tweeted out this image of a s*** inside the

01:59

Star of David, and received this tweet from Elon Musk saying, Sorry, but you have gone too far. This is not love.

02:06

Kanye responded to Musk with, Who made you judge? And then tweeted, Let's always remember this as my final tweet, simply posting a photo to make fun of Musk's physical appearance.

02:15

So Kanye not only praised Hitler and the s*** who committed some of the greatest evils this world has ever seen, but he also did this in the name of Jesus Christ with a

02:23

Bible right in front of him. Is this really the same Kanye West who, just three short years ago, was making headlines for his radical conversion to Christianity and his album,

02:31

Jesus is King? Would you consider yourself to be a Christian music artist now? I'm just a

02:38

Christian everything. And you know, now that I'm in service to Christ, my job is to spread the gospel, to let people know what

02:50

Jesus has done for me. But if we look at Kanye's life closely, we'll see that Kanye really hasn't changed all that much.

02:56

Even from the very beginning of his supposed conversion to Christianity, there were numerous troubling signs concerning Kanye's faith.

03:03

From the very beginning, what were the things that Kanye seemed to value more than anything else? Wealth, women, and fame.

03:10

And what did Kanye seem to neglect? Humility, fellowship with solid believers, and discipleship.

03:15

First, wealth. Kanye's partnership and promotion of Joel Osteen immediately raised a bright red flag concerning his faith.

03:22

There's a lot of people in the Christian community that try to give Joel a hard time because when you turn on the radio, he keeps on showing you how good

03:31

God is. Osteen is a proponent of the prosperity gospel and has a fundamentally wrong view of human nature.

03:38

Listen, when you lend to the creator of the universe, you can count on it. He's going to pay you back. 99 .9

03:44

% of people are not bad people. They may make poor choices, but deep down, they've got a good heart.

03:52

That Kanye not only didn't see any of this, but actively partnered with and promoted Osteen points to the fact that Kanye likewise has a very problematic view of the gospel.

04:00

And then there'd be pastors that want to talk about, oh T .D. Jakes said this, he didn't say this, he wasn't pure to the

04:06

Bible. But then they can't tell you a black pastor that they like, though. It's a divide in Christianity.

04:12

And in an interview with James Corden, Kanye made his prosperity theology clear for the world to see. So you think your awakening, your spiritual awakening, is part of my success?

04:28

Absolutely. Paul says in 1 Timothy 6 .10 that the love of money is the root of all kinds of evils.

04:34

Kanye's love of money is a very normal worldly desire, one that it seems he never gave up even after supposedly coming to faith in Christ.

04:41

Second, women. Immediately after his divorce with Kim Kardashian, Kanye immediately began dating numerous different women.

04:47

Irina Shayk, Julia Fox, Chaney Jones, and now Juliana Nalu. None of these women are

04:52

Christian, and all of them are extremely immodest, displaying their bodies sexually on social media for the world to see.

04:58

But Paul says in 1 Corinthians 6 .18, flee from sexual immorality. Like wealth, the love of women and sexual immorality is a very natural worldly desire, one that Kanye never gave up even after supposedly coming to faith in Jesus Christ.

05:11

And third, fame. From the very beginning, it seemed clear that Kanye was more focused on media attention than growing in his knowledge of God and growing in obedience to the word of God.

05:19

His Sunday services, which now have stopped, should never have been a replacement for attending a local church. Yet Kanye used them week after week to promote his new album,

05:27

Jesus is King. These services seemed designed to be publicity stunts, designed to draw media attention to his new album.

05:34

It was certainly great that Pastor Adam Tyson preached at some of these events, sharing the gospel with many who otherwise would not have heard the gospel.

05:41

God is holy. You and I are sinners. And yet then we read the reaction to that is that you have a choice to make.

05:49

You can either run from God or you can repent and know

05:56

God. But instead of continuing to work with and promote a solid Christian pastor like Adam Tyson, Kanye moved on to other media stunts.

06:03

And of course, most recently, Kanye has been all over the news for his anti -Semitic views. My question for you is, do you now regret saying death gone free on Jewish people?

06:13

Are you sorry you said that? I think it matters. You should be. Absolutely not. Yet another controversy for Kanye West, also known as Ye.

06:22

He's been locked out of his Twitter account now, the platform suspending him after an anti -Semitic tweet.

06:28

That tweet said, quote, when I wake up, I'm going death con three on Jewish people.

06:34

It seems that Kanye is so obsessed with media attention that he is happy to say the wildest things, including even praise for and then.

06:41

Let's contrast this with the Bible teaching Christians to be self -controlled, disciplined, and careful with our words.

06:46

Do we see this kind of humility and self -control in Kanye? Not at all. If Kanye was really serious about his

06:52

Christian faith, we would have seen a completely different trajectory in Kanye's life. We would have seen him devote himself to attending a local church, which he has never done.

06:59

We would have seen him seeking to learn more and more about what the Bible teaches from a solid mentor and pastor like Adam Tyson, which

07:05

Kanye seems to have stopped doing. And we would have seen him prioritizing the Gospel and pursuing holiness over and above seeking wealth, women, and fame, which

07:13

Kanye is not doing. What is happening with Kanye should not surprise us in the slightest, because this is exactly what

07:18

Scripture says will happen with a lot of professing believers. Jesus teaches in Matthew 13 in the parable of the sower that many will profess

07:24

Christ at first, but the cares of the world will draw them away. So we know from the lips of our Lord that there are going to be people whose initial response is superficial and not genuine and not lasting.

07:36

We also know that there are people who can make a superficial response to Christ, and it can go on for a very long time, because our

07:44

Lord says in that same chapter that there will be in the kingdom wheat and tares.

07:50

Wheat would be the true believers, tares would be the false believers. So it has to be said then that we should expect that not everybody who responds to the

08:00

Gospel is going to have a lasting response. There may be emotion at the front end, there may be excitement at the front end.

08:07

Some cases they will wither and die rapidly. In some other cases they will grow but be fruitless, and we may not even know the difference.

08:16

We certainly pray that Kanye's professed Christian faith is genuine, but right now we are not seeing the kind of humility, submission, repentance, and obedience that are marks of a true believer.

08:24

Those who truly belong to Christ do not merely say the words Jesus is King, but their lives bear the fruit in accordance with this profession, such that they pursue faithfulness and obedience to the

08:33

Word of God over and above all worldly fame, prosperity, and attention. The most terrifying thing that can happen to a person is to believe that they are right with God, and then on the last day they hear from God, I never knew you.

08:44

Depart from me, you workers of lawlessness. Let me ask you this question, do you bear fruit? Do you bear fruit?

08:57

Why do I say it in that way with such emphasis? Because one day you will be turned out and sent to hell, and the last thing you will hear is, you did not bear fruit.

09:14

Do you bear fruit? Answer that question now, because if you do not, what does it say about you?

09:27

He, that is God, will take you away. True repentance involves a deep hatred of all sin and evil, a refusal to praise anyone or any group that does not treat all humans as the precious image of God.

09:38

Kanye's harshness towards those who promote ending the lives of pre -born children is completely contradicted by his praise of Hitler and the

09:49

Nazis, who likewise ruthlessly murdered countless people made in God's image. Let's stop putting our hope in celebrity

09:54

Christians to usher in the kingdom of God in this culture. That's why we get so inflamed and enraptured when we find out that some popular or powerful person is

10:05

Christian, but do you realize how popular and how powerful he is and how God can use his name and his platform?

10:11

Stop right there. God already has a name that is above every name, the name at which every knee will bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue will confess that he is

10:24

Lord to the glory of God the Father. If God already has the name that's above every name, what makes you think he needs yours?

10:31

Instead, we call Kanye to repentance, to turn back to the God he says he believes in, to stop praising evil, and to devote his energy to promoting righteousness and the true gospel of Jesus Christ.

10:41

But what about you? Have you been convicted of the depth of your sin and guilt before God? Have you repented of this sin, turning away from worship of yourself to worship of the true and living

10:50

God? Do you recognize that you have nothing to offer to save yourself and that your only hope is to cast yourself before Jesus Christ, who alone can save you?

10:57

And are you bearing the fruit of genuine salvation, demonstrating that God has indeed given you new life? If not, then just like with Kanye West, we implore you, today is the day of salvation.

11:07

Do not wait because your life is a vapor and you may lose it unexpectedly. There is a terrifying judgment that awaits all who are not in Christ, but Christ has made a way for us to escape the punishment we deserve for rebelling against our creator, flee to Christ before it's too late, and experience the infinite joy of adoption into God's eternal beloved family.
