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.
