‘People often forget that the only thing God owes us is an immediate trip to the grave’: Kanye’s Christian Era is Officially Over – It’s sad because he seems worse now than before he claimed to be a Christian | HO

Kanye West (also known as Ye) did a recent interview where he talks about why he now rejects Christianity, and even goes so far as to say he’s God. Let’s talk about it, along with what pride does to the soul, and why it’s the only sin that will keep you from heaven.

Kanye’s latest interview signals the likely end of his Christian era. It’s uncommon to witness such a drastic shift from a bold declaration of faith to a complete reversal in just a few years. His recent statements in the interview, particularly regarding his views on faith, are not only concerning but also serve as a cautionary tale about the consequences of unchecked pride – a sin that can ultimately prevent one from reaching Heaven.

The disturbing remarks Kanye made in the interview are not entirely new; they simply represent a more extreme departure from his previous beliefs. Even before professing Christianity, Kanye had expressed skepticism towards religion and had shown signs of pride by comparing himself to Jesus and proclaiming himself as a “god.”

However, in 2019, Kanye surprised many by releasing a gospel album titled “Jesus is King” and hosting Sunday Services. During this time, it appeared that his newfound faith had led to a humbler demeanor and a genuine commitment to Christianity. But in 2021, Kanye went through a highly publicized divorce from Kim Kardashian, which seemed to shake his faith.

In the recent interview, Kanye expressed disillusionment with Christianity, citing unanswered prayers and a sense of self-reliance. He felt that God had not intervened in his struggles, leading him to believe that he could solve his problems without divine assistance. This attitude reflects a dangerous form of pride – the belief that one can control their own destiny without God’s guidance.

Pride, often regarded as the root of all sins, can lead individuals to reject the need for a savior and trust in their own abilities instead. Kanye’s remarks about wanting to live without fear and asserting control over his life echo this sentiment. He demonstrates a reluctance to submit to God’s will and a desire to be the master of his own fate.

In essence, Kanye’s rejection of Christianity can be attributed to his prideful attitude and refusal to acknowledge his need for salvation. This serves as a sobering reminder of the dangers of unchecked pride and the importance of humility in spiritual matters. It also highlights the fundamental Christian principle that salvation comes not from our own merits, but from faith in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

Kanye West opened up about the religious inspiration behind his album Jesus Is King when he stopped by Real 92.3 LA on Friday.

The album was originally planned to come out in September, before the release date changed to Oct. 25. The change in plans sparked controversy among fans, many of whom took to social media to complain about the delayed release, and again later to complain when the expected drop of “midnight” was pushed back again.

West’s interview with the radio station Friday mostly focused on his newfound devotion to the Christian faith. “I love Jesus Christ. I love Christianity,” he said.

The rapper said that he was inspired to create his Sunday services and Jesus Is King after he let “Jesus take the wheel” following his “breakdown,” referencing his bipolar diagnosis and public backlash for his support of President Trump. He continued, “I didn’t even know what it meant to be saved.”

West also said he would rather follow Christ than cultural norms. “Who designed the culture? What does it mean to do it for the culture? That’s why I do it for Christ,” he said.

He also took a stand for what he sees as the country taking religion out of everyday life, and attributes this to “woke” culture. “Who told you that my career would be over? The same people who are telling you that you can’t have a right to say who you would vote for, those same people will be soon to take Jesus out of school. Those people will be soon to remove Jesus, period, from America, which is the Bible Belt,” he said. “Everybody thinks they’re so woke, but they’re following the rules of what woke’s supposed to be. Hip-hop ain’t ever been about following rules. It been about doing what you feel.”

“I’ve been canceled,” he added later. “I’ve been canceled before they had cancel culture. I was canceled before they had the term.”

Though, he added, he does care about how people view him and his new direction in music. “I am praying that people can see that Jesus won the victory. When I was making raps and service to the devil talking about, ‘You a ho, I love and all this.’ I was in debt. Now that I’m at service to Christ, God is showing off. He’s showing off on my life. He’s showing off on my family,” he said.

The rapper also spoke about the album when he stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday. When asked if he is now a Christian artist, he responded, “I’m just a Christian everything.”

West told Kimmel that the album would drop at midnight during his appearance on the ABC late-night show, though it was not officially available to fans until hours later on Friday. He added that he uses “Christian innovation” in his music to spread God’s messages and said that he now “works for God.”
