Christian rapper Jahaziel denounced Christianity three days before the celebration of Christ’s birth. “A short while ago I turned away from 20 years as a professing Christian. I had a good job with a church organization, a house provided by the church, a large social circle of likeminded people, a career in gospel music, a worldwide fan base, a respected reputation & status within Christian and non Christian circles,” Jahaziel wrote on Facebook.
In 2013, the U.K.-based rapper told CrossRhythms he was shying away from fame for the sake of the gospel. Now, the tables have turned. The man Rapzilla called one of the most important U.K. artists in the history of Christian hip-hop has not only renounced his faith, he’s questioning the foundation Christianity is built on. In the Facebook post, Jahaziel told followers he cannot believe the Bible is the infallible Word of God. He later posted a follow-up for those who were questioning his decision.
“You can believe the bible and its God all you want but to me he just demands my fear because he cannot earn my respect. I cannot possibly agree that he is love unless I ignore all the men, women and little children he has slaughtered throughout the entire bible,” the post reads. FULL REPORT
