Christian Rapper Renounces His Faith in Jesus as Great Falling Away Continues
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.
"But maybe some peoples Christian lenses won't allow them to see that - cool. Mine didn't either for s (sic) long time. I have tasted and seen - and my conclusion is that Christianity (it's flawed book, bloodthirsty god and mythical savior) i have found unsatisfactory and unworthy of my allegiance or worship unless by threatening to kill me if I don't - as Christianity does."
The statement seems ironic from the same man who penned the following lyrics:
Help me God
(So help me God) So if you hear I got my eyes to the hills
Tho' when's cometh my help
If I seem strong you know they strict fane of myself
You don't know how I fell them fell flat on my face
Crawled back on my knees he put me back by his grace
Now I'm back on the case
Closin' the mouths on my critics
They haters, doubters and (cynics) told me I'm out of my lyrics
But God's far from finished with me
In fact he just started

Stupidity like the stuff Jahaziel is spouting is one of the reasons I started "Vindicating God Ministries."

Someone should apologise to the guy for the false teachers who've taught him only one side of the story, only the one side of Heb 1:9a "You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;", the first four words but not the last three.

Never heard of him but tragic for any believer to leave the faith

So... after 20 years, he's JUST realized that "God kills people?" Yeah... ok.... couldn't be that maybe he wanted a lifestyle that wasn't conducive to Christianity and is blaming God for his own carnality? No.... couldn't be that!

Sounds to me like the war for fame and the call of God finally claimed a winner...
This is one I would sincerely doubt ever had a genuine born again relationship with Christ...
By the way, God does not need his respect and is certainly not trying to EARN it..that is the most ludicrous and vain statement I think I have ever heard..

Susan after 40+ years I can't remember such a sermon being preached from the pulpit, well one specifically on God's judgement. Not from my pulpit fortunately but we also have people around who deny God does such things; I can understand Jahaziel's confusion.

Or the teaching he was under was as shallow as the water in a dried up desert.
