Lecrae Calls Out Lil Nas X Over Controversial “J.Christ” Release

“okay I gotta admit Lil Nas is playing with fire mocking Jesus,”

“he’s getting the attention he wants from folks at the risk of searing his conscious. Still if God can transform King Neb, murders, [sic] slave masters, sex workers, etc. he can add another Blasphemer to the list.”

He wrote in the post’s long caption, providing more context.

“We generally find ourselves outraged at blatant disrespect of our Lord,”

“Even the Torah in Leviticus 24 says, “The one who blasphemes the name of the Lord shall surely be put to death.” But as frustrating as it may be to see, here are some thoughts.”

“1. We have to remember God used different means to demonstrate his anger before Christ came, now Jesus has taken the full cup of that wrath on the cross. 2. Be thankful that God is patient because many of us benefit from that grace, mercy, and patience today. 3. When the blasphemy against the Lord was at its height Jesus was being beaten and in the process of being murdered and his response was “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.” Let us remember to pray for folks who are blinded as we once were.”

Lil Nas X has also come under fire from Kai Cenat, another self-identified Christian, for making fun of Jesus Christ and Christianity in his latest song and music video. In a livestream video that has been made public, Cenat criticizes the contentious rapper for making fun of Christians and their views on homosexuality while he releases new music. Cenat argues that Lil Nas X’s actions are disrespectful and offensive to those who hold their faith dear. He believes that artists should be mindful of the impact their work can have on different communities, especially when it comes to sensitive topics like religion and sexuality.
